After reading this article on chicken soup, I, a person with poor IQ, should cherish every second of traveling day and night!
More than a decade ago, there was no Weibo, WeChat or Zhihu. But on the Internet, there is such an unknown and well-known Jianghu - "Tianya Community". Like its name, it has a mixture of good and bad people, love and righteousness, and countless gods.
Tianya gave birth to one after another: Murong Xuecun and his Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight, Sister Furong, the wonderful flower Xiaoyueyue, Tiantianba Singing and his Ghost Blows the Lamp
Now, the golden age of the forum has come to an end. Tianya, which is gradually declining, may only become a common memory of Tianya's "fallen people" and a legend in the history of the Internet. And the great god who was once famous all over the world also retired from the Jianghu. Among them is such a great god, named "Cai Ba".
You may be unfamiliar with this name, but his deeds are not simple - he invaded the Tengxun system and stole the QQ of Ma Huateng, the president of Tengxun. At that time, he was only 16 years old. The talented young hacker faded out of people's view after this event that caused a sensation throughout the network
A gifted teenager who is both good and evil
This young hacker did a series of feats more than ten years ago, which is unprecedented and unprecedented. He did many "bad things". It was the Tianya incident that made him famous.
In 2005, he posted on Tianya, threatening to "blackout" Tianya Forum within a week. There are many people who talk big on the horizon. Everyone should watch the activity, but they don't take it seriously. But Tianya didn't take it lightly after seeing this post. To ensure security, their programmers set up layers of firewalls. However, Caiba didn't pay attention to Tianya's measures. Tianya Forum was finally "hacked" by him, and he cracked all kinds of pursuits of Tianya IT Department. The dozens of servers in Tianya are like shopping for him, coming and going freely.
When you are bored, you can log in to the administrator's account, have friendly exchanges with the executives inside Tianya, and lavishly send hundreds of millions of points to netizens. The elites in Tianya's IT department are fooled by Caiba, but they have no choice but to shut down their servers. They have no way to prevent Caiba's invasion. However, after the invasion, Caiba did not make further excessive moves, even posted a post pointing out Tianya's loopholes and proposing solutions.
Since then, no one in the Jianghu has not known the name of Cai Ba. Later, Caiba put his goal on a larger Tengxun. At the beginning of August 2006, one of Caiba's netizens asked him to help enter the Tengxun system. This challenge gave him instant spirit. In the next six days, he spent two-thirds of his time in front of the computer every day studying data. Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, August 7, 2006, he successfully defeated Tengxun
Dozens of systems in the background also stole Ma Huateng's five digit QQ account.
As usual, he didn't do anything out of line. He just called Tengxun and pointed out the vulnerabilities in their system. The other party became more alert and asked about his intention. Then Teng Xun called the police.
Before long, Caiba was captured by Hubei Tianmen Internet Surveillance Team. However, the teenager who has behaved outrageously and done many "bad things" is regarded by many as an online "hero" who acts chivalrously and defensively. Just three months before the Tengxun incident, Caiba saved the life of a young girl. On the afternoon of May 12, 2006, a Chongqing girl posted a post on Tianya, as if to take sleeping pills to end her life.
Cai Ba used his own technology to obtain her IP address, found the girl's phone number and home address, reported the case to the police, and finally, with the cooperation of many parties, stopped the suicide of the girl in time. He is low-key and doing good things, which is quite different from the high-profile invasion of websites. At this time, he was like a chivalrous man who was chivalrous and did not seek fame and wealth.
A few days later, Cai Ba helped the author of The Ming Dynasty. In March 2006, Mingyue published a post on Tianya, "What happened in the Ming Dynasty? History should be beautiful", and began to serialize her own "vernacular history of the Ming Dynasty". As a result, he quickly became popular on the Internet, and was in the limelight. However, rumors and attacks also followed. In the face of the rumor that "the moon brushes data", Caiba used technical calculations to help him prove his innocence.
Later, Mingyue was subjected to even worse revenge, and his post was even followed by countless horrible and bloody corpse photos. Mingyue, who left Tianya in the same year, moved the position of updating articles to Sina Blog and called Caiba for support. Cai Ba helped out and became the administrator of the Sina blog of Mingyue that year, and made a statement for himself and Mingyue that year. From then on, no one dared to make trouble under the "Ming Dynasty things".
Poor and lonely dropouts
Hacker is a mysterious existence for most people. High cold, high IQ, high technology... can't be associated with a rural child who dropped out of junior high school. Cai Ba, whose net name is "rotten wood carving itself", is Yan Fengtian.
Living in a small town in Tianmen City, Hubei Province, he became addicted to the Internet when he was studying and often skipped classes to surf the Internet. He is a full Internet addict. His father worked in Tianmen City, while his mother subsidized the family by cotton batting in Suizhou. He and his sister had been wandering in Tianmen and Suizhou since childhood. Since childhood, he lacks the care of his family and is withdrawn. At the age of 12, he followed his father to junior high school in Tianmen City. He was not interested in learning at all. He either slept in the classroom or skipped class to go to an Internet cafe.
A father who has been in prison has a bad temper. On the third day of the second semester of his first year of junior high school, he lost money because of gambling, so he came home and directly took a chair and threw it on him. So the next day, he left school. Back in Suizhou, his mother sent him to a computer technology school, and he left the school a few days later, because the school taught him something too simple, which was a waste of time for him. After dropping out of school and returning home, he stayed in his room to surf the Internet all day and hardly went out.
The reason why he became a hacker is also very simple: his most precious game equipment was stolen. This led him, who had always been addicted to online games, to start studying network technology, buy dozens of computer textbooks, and become a self-taught talent. Later, he showed amazing talent.
In real life, he is a "problem teenager" who has no friends and is withdrawn, while on the Internet, he is a legendary hacker who is all powerful.
He invaded the website and called the person in charge, never for theft, not for extortion. Just to gain a sense of achievement and existence that is not in life, and to gain recognition from others. After such a rebellious hacker boy was taken away by the police for investigation, what he worried most was that his family was despised by the neighbors.
After learning that Cai Ba was taken away by the police, netizens even spontaneously organized an action to help Cai Ba on Tianya. "Cai Ba has talent. Don't destroy a genius." "Cai Ba's family is not rich, and there are not many people who know the law."
One of the netizens, whose ID is "Bulletproof Monk", helped Caiba to hire a lawyer for free. During the period of obtaining a guarantor pending trial, Cai Ba was sent to Beijing to live with him. In real life, he is the boss of a media company.
The direct reason why he helped Caiba was that Caiba had unconditionally repaired the loopholes on his website. In his eyes, Caiba is just a smart child with moral foundation who has not entered the real life. Cai Ba named himself "rotten wood self carving" and said that he was a rotten wood, but that didn't mean he couldn't carve, so he added "self carving" to the back.
Caiba knows that his parents can't be a good example. They can't rely on others to carve. Everything depends on themselves.
Caiba's personal blog, less than half a year after it was launched, had nearly 150000 hits. "The word" self carving ", which was said by a child himself, is a social sorrow," the bulletproof monk said, "It should be done to carve rotten wood, and everyone should help with a piece of rotten wood."
The bulletproof monk who did not want to appear in the interview was Du Zijian, the "father of microbo marketing", and the author of Living Sin.
3 Never see you again in the Jianghu
After the Tengxun incident, Cai Ba gradually realized that what he had done was meaningless. He had always been high-profile and gradually faded out of the "Jianghu", leaving only legends.
After saying goodbye to Du Zijian, he started his first job. But the good times didn't last long. The company went bankrupt and he lost his job again. After that, he went to Chongqing, Xi'an and other places to help people with network security.
When he was 18 years old, he returned to Guangzhou to start his own business and set up his own company. His mother said in an interview that although he was the only one in the company, his monthly income was high. At the age when his peers were still spending money at home, Cai Ba had already built two floors of small buildings for his parents and bought a car for himself.
Caiba's last post on Tianya was on July 17, 2011, "I finally stand here three and a half years later".
In the photo, he seems to be doing well, but he is getting fat. "Now I finally stand at the top of the mountain, but the snow has melted." "Just like our life, it has already changed, not like the original." The words he wrote in the post are quite different.
At the beginning of 2012, he went to Wuhan and started a business together with a friend, who was the CEO of the company. He devoted himself to research and development behind his back and made several popular mobile games. In just three years, the company has earned 1 billion yuan.
However, due to differences with friends, the cooperation relationship finally broke down. When he left the company, he only got 5 million yuan. Depressed, he planned to go abroad for relaxation. When he changed planes in Hong Kong, he met Chen Zijing, a Hong Kong girl and a netizen for many years, for the first time in real life. Before long, the two became lovers.
Many years ago, Chen Zijing learned about him through the news, and had great curiosity and admiration for him. She struggled to find his way. Since then, she has kept in touch with him through the Internet. She may not have thought that she would eventually become his wife and walk through many places in the world together.
When Chen Zijing studied at the University of California, Berkeley, he went to the United States to accompany her. During his stay in the United States, he continued to study Internet entrepreneurship projects. In May 2016, he said goodbye to his lover and returned to Guangzhou to start a new business and opened a mobile game company. On December 23, 2017, he and Chen Zijing held a wedding ceremony in Tianmen, his hometown. The online invitation card was a small program that he made himself. It said: "Go across the Great Wall to the world, to commemorate the birth of the Chinese Internet and your and my acquaintance".
In January 2018, Chen Zijing went to Columbia University in the United States to continue his studies. He continued to go to the United States as a companion student, and planned to open an Internet company in the United States, taking into account domestic and foreign businesses.
In a flash of 12 years, the hacker boy who used to be has grown up.
But the legend belongs to him, which is not finished yet
