"Growth": Microsoft captures Chinese hackers Liu Dieyu approximately 5 years ago, that is, in 1998, Li Kai Fu first came to Beijing to build an research institute, his pocket with Microsoft's ambitious plan: 6 years invest 8000 Wan Dollars, find 100 outstanding researchers. At that time, there were only two people around him. They fell on the Higma Building in Zhongguancun, Beijing.
Since then, these young people who have accumulated in the Microsoft Research Institute in Beijing and gradually surprised the world. Microsoft China Institute has been renamed Microsoft Asian Research Institute. There are more than 400 young people gathered in the fifth floor of the Higma Building. Today, there are five previous five magazines, 5 of 100 articles are from this research institute. Most of these people come from China's university campus.
At the beginning of 2003, Dr. Li Kai, Vice President of Microsoft, to discuss the success of a group of "Microsoft Kids" in Microsoft Asian Research Institute, which is a genius and master. This is the theme of this book.
I found a hacker, in China!
"We found a hacker, in China."
A morning in January 2003, Zhang Yaxin came to the office, opened an email, this line of words was placed immediately.
The mail is from the security team of Microsoft's headquarters. One of the duties of the group is to monitor the Internet browser in the global operation, specifically looking for "bugs", then make up, and monitor the "hacker" where the network is ghost.
For Microsoft, the nature of "hackers" online is different. Some "hackers" indeed hugged the Microsoft, specifically looking for "bugs" in Microsoft software products, using the vulnerabilities existing in the software itself, to attack those software users. This kind of attack has great destructive, but also makes Microsoft. In addition, some "hackers" are purely "technology mad", they are looking for a large company's products.
"You can definitely be a Chinese student." They told Zhang Yinqin, "studying Liu Dieyu in Xiangtan University."
Hunan · Xiangtan University · Liu Dieyu
Liu Dieyu sat in his crowded room, stared at the computer screen, and his eyes did not turn his eyes. The top is one of the "Internet Browser" of Microsoft's most proud product. He knows what he wants to find, he has clearly felt its existence, but why not come out? ......
While thinking, he tap the keyboard with your finger. At that moment, "Internet browser" has trouble.
He glanced over a big plate and smiled: "I destroyed its rules, is it?"
There are many people who hate Microsoft around him, and they can't help people. Happy, it is guessing the trend of Microsoft. "It's strange," I said to him, "Microsoft has not taken action for you?"
I am talking about it, the phone ring is ringing. He got up, he listened to there was a voice that: "I am Microsoft."
Liu Dieyu is stunned.
"Maybe you are willing to work with us"
The phone is really Microsoft, which is Lin Bin, is a manager of the New Technology Development Department of the Microsoft Asian Institute. He received a message from Zhang Yun's forwarded mail, according to Tuo, it is easy to find Liu Dieyu.
"We are looking for you, there is nothing special." Lin Bin felt the nervousness of the other party and hoped to relieve the atmosphere.
The other party "ah", still does not speak.
Lin Bin seems to think about what, hurry to introduce themselves. Say yourself in Beijing, a team of engineers in the Microsoft Asian Institute.
"Ah, ah."
"I am just a technician of Microsoft."
"Ah, ah."
"Our dean is Zhang Yinqin. He is a world-class computer scientist."
"Ah, ah."
"I have participated in the production of Windows 2000."
"That is cool." The other party finally spoke.
"We are very interested in your work."
"Ah." Liu Dieyu did not talk. "We want to ask you to see you. Maybe you are willing to work with us."
"what......"
"If you don't have anything, you will come in a hurry. Let's take the train. We are responsible for your travel fee."
"I am very willing." Liu Dieyu said, "Maybe."
"Are they Microsoft?"
The butterfly rain puts down the phone, and the heart is still jumping. His first thought is: "Is there too much in this year. Are they Microsoft?" Then another thought: "Even if they are true, why do you find me? Do you want to turn me? "
The butterfly rain is thinking, the first time I feel the thrilling of the "hack of empire".
In fact, he doesn't like others to call him "hacker". "I have never seen a hacker." One time he said, "Some people smashed people's websites, called hackers; some people are very good, also called hackers. Hackers mean too much, if you think Hacker is also a good person, then I am a hacker. "
To be old truth, he is completely in the case of unrempathetic, just with a bit of curiosity, a bit of interest, and a few points to prove the desire of its ability.
Things start from June 30, 2002. That day, he accidentally saw an article, a foreigner wrote, and many examples show how to find errors in a program. Many things in Liu Dieyu seem to be very difficult, suddenly become simple, just like the author of the article, "I don't need to have a deep knowledge and more high skills, you just want to see it from a special angle. "
"I will definitely do it." Liu Dieyu thought.
His thoughts have been unhappy. He is looking around in Microsoft's "browser" and keeps finding "bug", but Microsoft is looking for him. Now, Microsoft finally found him.
Beijing · Microsoft Asia Research Institute
Lin Bin put down the phone and went to the Manager of the Institute Human Resources Department, and asked her to arrange Liu Dieyu during the winter vacation to internship.
"These can be fake. I only appreciate emails." Wang Jin felt that he did not seem to convince Liu Dieyu, just turn back to Lin Bin: "How is this child? He asked you that it is Microsoft? "
Lin Bin's phone call again to Xiangtan: "You believe in email, that is very good, our email address has 'Microsoft' words, this will not be fake?"
After the Spring Festival, the butterfly rains finally came to the Higma Building.
Lin Bin called Microsoft Headquarters, saying that "hackers" they have to find now is around him.
"It's great." The other party said excitedly, "We will open it together."
"What do you want me?"
Lin Bin said to him: "What do you want to do, do it. If you want to continue to find 'bugs on' browser '. Our product group can work with you. You find a vulnerability, they immediately make up, package , Then give it to you. You can get the latest procedures, yet not announced. "
The two people are talking about, the butterfly rain is ringing. That is his father from Xiangtan.
"No problem, I am safe." Butterfly Rain said to the handset, looked up again and looked at Lin Bin: "I think your Microsoft and the outside is not big."
Headquarters admire a mess
The butterfly rain started to work. For 7 consecutive days, he found 7 "bugs" on the Internet browser, one day, and it is hard to find. He is very excited, people of Microsoft are more excited, and amazing "how this person is so powerful."
"His work is simply very good." Lin Bin said.
On the 88th day, Lin Bin gave the butterfly rain, which is specifically how to write a security code. The author is a manager of the Microsoft's product department, listed in the book, and is extremely exquisite and thoughtful, so this book has become a must-have book for Microsoft programmers.
Lin Bin said: "Read this book, you can better discover where the programmer's weakness is."
The butterfly is big, take it back to see the first chapter, and there is a new idea in my mind. He tried to cure his own people, and he directly went deep into the group of the author of the book. Lin Bin listened to his thoughts and felt that there would be no results: "The book is written by himself, he will not make mistakes in the group he leads."
But but the butterfly rain is more confident.
The next thing, let everyone feel unexpected. Butterfly Rain launched his "battle" in the address bar of "Browser". When he uses a way to express a letter, "browser" does not have any questions. He continued to expand to the second way, still there is no problem. He made a breath, continuously expanding the new expression, the string extends to the 81st, the system's problem is displayed, he laughs, make persistent efforts, expands at least two hundred changes, strings to form an unprecedented length. It was found that from the start of the 81st change, until the 100th, the system will have a problem, and finally he is inexplicably enters a bank's web page.
"It's too big." Lin Bin said, "Others' test, only more than ten times, twenty times, no longer. In fact, his change is from 0 to 200 times. It is a short period in the middle. He discovered the problem. The problem report headquarters, the people there have admired a mess. "
"This test, we can't imagine." Microsoft Headquarters's security group returned.
