The computer screen showed a password error, which seemed to indicate that the encrypted file was not simple.
"Hmm? Wrong password?"
The old man muttered in surprise, then shook his head to suppress his doubts. Then, he tried another password with a higher number. After entering it, he immediately clicked enter.
Wrong password!
"What?!"
It was another password error notification. This time, the old man completely put away his contempt and continued to double the password. However, the password was still incorrect after the third attempt.
Seeing this situation, the old man could no longer maintain his composure. He had already accumulated the password to 32 digits, but he still could not crack the password.
Therefore, the old man became excited for some reason. He was almost sixty years old, but he quickly entered the password on the keyboard again and again. His hands danced so fast that his fingers could not be seen clearly.
When the students behind the old man saw this, they were stunned. In his eyes, his teacher seemed to have gone crazy at this moment. Was this still the teacher he knew who was calm in the face of change?
No matter what he was thinking, the old man did not stop. After about a minute, the old man finally finished calculating. At this moment, a long string of stars had appeared in the password box.
"This? Teacher, what's going on?" The student quickly counted the number of digits in the password and was immediately shocked. His teacher had actually entered nearly 64 digits.
For a moment, he didn't understand. It was just a compressed package. Why did he need to use a 64-bit password? One had to know that 32-bit encryption methods were usually used on the servers of some large enterprises.
Obviously, his teacher had tried all kinds of methods to crack it, but none of them succeeded. It seemed that the author of this USB drive was not simple. Even such an encryption method required such a complicated password to be encrypted.
At the same time, the old man pressed the enter key, but the password box still showed that the password was wrong.
"This?"
Seeing this, the old man immediately revealed a puzzled look, and then his gaze became fanatical.
"A 128-digit password!"
When the old man saw the password error notification, he immediately exclaimed. Then, he turned around and hurriedly asked the students,""Who sent this USB drive? Is there a signature?"
At this moment, the students behind the old man were also shocked by their teacher's words. Even the security measures of some organizations were at most 64-digit passwords, and 128-digit passwords were almost not used often.
Who was the author of this USB drive? Even his teacher couldn't crack his encryption.
"Oh... It was signed, but I've never heard of such a person. I don't think it's one of those famous young scientists.”
The student who regained his senses hurriedly replied.
The old man was even more shocked after hearing this. He was not one of those young scientists who had shown their talents. This meant that this was a talent who had just surfaced.
Thinking of this, the old man immediately urged,"Quick, get me a high-tech computer and try to calculate the 128-digit password with the virtual machine!”
The old man's tone was very excited. At the same time, the students behind him were completely dumbfounded. The old man was excited to see such a talent in the qualifiers.
What shocked the students was that the encryption method of the compressed package actually stumped their teachers. They had to use a virtual machine to open it. This was before the work was opened. If the password was unlocked, what would be inside the compressed package?
"Oh, right away!"
The student did not hesitate and immediately ran out to prepare. After about two minutes, he returned with a high-speed computer.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and turn it on!"
The old man couldn't wait any longer. He urged the students to turn on their computers while connecting the data cable of the main computer to another computer.
As the virtual machine was turned on, the old man's trembling hands quickly tapped on the keyboard and implanted four deciphering dictionary into the virtual machine.
This was the best way to crack a password with a virtual machine, because a 128-bit password was beyond the limits of human computing. Therefore, a large amount of dictionary information had to be used for big data comparison to crack the password.
Seeing the old man's actions, the students immediately understood. Besides excitement, the old man was also smiling bitterly. He did not expect that among the audition works that he had always looked down on, there would actually be a work that he could not crack with his brain.
As the virtual machine ran quickly, the old man's eyes were fixed on the screen. However, what happened next shocked everyone.
"This is?"
The old man's pupils constricted. He saw that the virtual machine had used up all four of its dictionary, but it still could not crack the password. As the password cracking failed, a large amount of junk information popped up from the compressed package of the main computer.
The data was like a flood, filling up the memory of the two computers at a speed visible to the naked eye. The virtual machine was forced to shut down. The other main computer was also stuck like a brick.
What the f * ck was going on?
The old man was stunned as he pressed the computer's power button twice. He realized that the main computer could not even be turned off, let alone operate it. The entire mainframe was scrapped.
For a moment, the old man felt like cursing in his heart. What kind of encryption method was this? After failing to crack the password, it would automatically release a large number of junk files. In this case, no matter which computer was used to operate, the memory would be filled with junk files in a short period of time.
"Monster!"
The old man subconsciously said. This was definitely a freakish encryption method. Saying that the owner of this work was a talent was already not enough to describe him.
Among all the young people he had met, whether they were the talented students or the young scientists who had shown their talents, no one could do this.
