BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37: Hacking
" For the starters, I want you to start working out and get in shape, that\'s all for now. " He ordered, then they exchanged numbers and Lucian walked away from there.
" Thank you, sir. I\'ll start working out immediately. " Peter shouted, he was not too out of shape and just had a little fat over his belly so it wouldn\'t take him long to get in shape.
When Lucian arrived near the car he saw that Scarlett had gotten into a fight with a woman, who seemed to be the owner of the car which almost hit them from behind just now.
And when Lucian arrived there, the other car was already turned into a pile of junk and the woman ran away from there with a terrified expression while Scarlett stood there with a proud expression on her face.
" Let\'s go. " Lucian said. Scarlett looked back at Peter but she didn\'t ask any questions and then the ride continued.
\' It\'s about to get fun, anyway, the pill I ate before is just too slow isn\'t there any way to make it work faster? \' Lucian questioned in his mind.
[ There are a few ways but the best and safest would be for you to start working out too, in a couple of weeks you would be able to see the changes. ]
******
While Lucian was looking over some things the internet, they finally arrived at their destination and the car stopped right in front of the company building, Lucian got out of the car but before walking away he looked at Scarlett and instructed her:
" Get some gym equipments, I want to start working out. " After seeing Scarlett nod her head, Lucian walked back into the building. Just as he was about to step into the elevator, a text appeared in his head.
[ Take the stairs. ]
\' Sigh okay. \' Then he proceeded to walk up the stairs, he needed to take a break a couple of times and by the time he arrived on the twelfth floor, he was panting heavily.
" Huff Huff My stomach hurts, but still it is better than my previous life. " He mumbled and walked into his room excitedly.
All of the tech things, he had bought yesterday had all arrived in his room, it was arranged in a corner since the room was quite big so there was enough space for the setup.
" Hoo this is going to be veeery fun. "
Closing the door, he began to unpack them all one by one; seeing all the new things just has a different feel to it.
Without feeling tired at all, Lucian set every thing up though it did take him some time, but he enjoyed each and every second of it and when he was done he just looked at his setup with shining eyes, it was just wonderful.
" Let\'s test out if my skills are sufficient here too. " He mumbled and sat on the chair.
Then for the first time in his second Life turned the system on, the internet speed was top notch and within seconds he downloaded everything he might need though most of the software here was very lacking compared to what Lucian was used to.
" So what shall we use as our guinea pig? " Lucian mumbled, he didn\'t want to try it with anything dangerous like the government without having a proper idea of the capabilities of people at this period of time.
" But I don\'t even know much about anything here... " He mumbled as he lay back on the chair and stared at the ceiling, suddenly he sat up straight with a new target.
" I can just use this company. It seems to be quite big but what is the product or service? "
[ Yes, it is one of the biggest companies in the country. The company\'s name is Charon, they have several business in several markets but the most successful one is a social media app and a streaming service though the latter is not that famous. Except that Jasmine also deals with many of the Chasms. ]
" Oh, then it is even better, let\'s try to dive through their technical security and even if I do end up getting caught, she won\'t kill me, right? " Lucian spoke, he was not planning to harm the company after all he might need it in the future.
After thinking for a while, Lucian put his fingers over the keyboard and immediately the sound of buttons clicking filled the room, he looked like a completely different person.
There was seriousness on his face and he was fully concentrated, several screens were present in front of him, first, he needed to check how secure the digital security of the company was.
If he failed to crack it then he would need to level up his skills even further according to the standards of this planet, but just after a while of starting Lucian noticed how wrong he was.
This was the year 2020 currently on the reverse Earth, and in his previous life Lucian was of a similar age when it was 2020 there, he died somewhere around the year 2037 so the technology had already developed to completely different heights by then.
And even at that time, Lucian was one of the best hackers who was quite famous worldwide not even the government of his country was able to find him even though he breached their security a couple of times.
The name \'Prankster\' put fear in the hearts of the government and the global companies alike, so despite just staying inside one hospital room he was able to control anything over the globe, just this one skill was more than enough for him to take revenge over everyone he hated, turning their life into hell.
But Lucian was over estimating the technology level on this planet, soon he discovered that even though there were many differences but the overall level of the technology and digital security was similar to the original Earth\'s, but around the year of 2020 so it was almost like a child play for Lucian to break into the company without alerting anyone.
" Doesn\'t that make me the best hacker and programmer on this planet? " He exclaimed, then putting everything out of his mind Lucian began to concentrate on the task at hand.
First, he needed to enter the company\'s system somehow, and only then would he be able to find any kind of vulnerability.
Then he can enter through the company\'s firewall to perform a zero day-exploit, which in simple terms means finding a software security flaw that is unknown to the software owners and the public.
" Getting into the company\'s systems won\'t be hard. " Lucian mumbled, and then he began to design a small file that would make his work extremely easy.
It didn\'t take him long to create the bug file, now he just needed to send it to someone who is connected to one of the company\'s systems and Lucian had a clear target in his mind for that task.
