#5 of The hack book 2: source code hidden

Well I threw that weekly post out of the window. Anywho, here is chapter 4 enjoy!


Chris watched the video and didn't notice anything wrong about it, until he found that there was a small gap in the sleeve which revealed some white fur and from the looks of the video, a black stripe similar to Mike's arm. Chris began to panic since this could easily reveal Mike's identity. Chris quickly booted his computer and messaged Mike about the video, Mike did not seem to be responding so Chris decided to hack the Tsociety account and remove the video, then upload a video that would have the fur blacked out with a video effect.

Chris booted the computer and started to create a word list that could have all the possible passwords, he then used a Java program he made to test every password he made onto a social media account. Within 3 minutes Chris was able to crack the password and access the account, he checked uploads and found that the video had only 20 views, hopefully no one would notice when he downloaded the video and put in in davinci resolve, a video editor to black out the part.

When he was done exporting, he used ffmpeg to encode the video for upload and upload it to Vimeo as if it never left. He checked his phone to see that Mike was finally online and told him that they almost decided to take the video down before Chris had managed to change it.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to school and arrived to his class.

"Ok class we will have a new stud..." The teacher droned on. Chris never payed any attention to them since they were the equivalent of a loop in a program, they would keep repeating and never stop.

"Hey Chris" a familiar voice said, as Chris looked up he was a familiar with tiger that had a smile on his face.

"Oh hi Mike" Chris said, trying to keep his excitement that his crush was not only in the same school as him, but would also be sitting right next to him.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"Mike asked.

"Oh, I don't mind" Chris said as Mike sat down.

Chris was starting to be very anxious with his crush literally being right beside him, he started to sweat and tried to calm down. Eventually after about six hours of sweating and trying not to act weird in front of his crush. The school bell finally rang which signaled every student to go home and erase their brain of the six hours of information that was forced into their brains.

"Do you still want to join us?" Mike asked, Chris pondered on it and decided that it would be better if he joined tsociety, they needed the help in a time like this 'and I might be able to cuddle with Mike' he thought.

"I will join" Chris said which made Mike smile again.

"Grea-Watch Out!" Mike shouted as he quickly pulled Chris away from a bike that was about to crash into him, instead crashing into the bench beside them. There was no fur on the bike and upon closer inspection it was actually an electric bike that seemed to be remotely controlled.

"Shit, we need to get you somewhere safe" Mike said as he held Chris near him. Chris felt his soft and warm fur on his and enjoyed the feeling of it despite nearly having a bike crash into him. Mike quickly brought Chris into a car with Anthony at the front wheel and his computer plugged in.

"Could you get us out of here?" Mike asked Anthony.

"Sure, just need to hotwire it..." Anthony said as he went below the steering wheel and started up the engine.

"Ghost Code is trying to erase us now" Mike said.

"We need to find a way to take them down before they can do anymore harm" Anthony said as he took a swift trun left and parked beside the shopping mall and left the car there.

"I might know a way" Chris said.

"What? How?" Anthony asked.

"They use a cryptocurrency called XRP for all of their transfers and is what hold pretty much all of their money. If we can transfer it to somewhere else, then they will have nothing left and will have to give up. They will be shut down with how low the economy is and will not be able to come back since they rely on payment rather than actual trust" Chris explained.

"But how can we transfer it to somewhere else? I've used it myself and it requires either biometric security or two-factor authentication through SMS" Anthony replied.

"We can, I have spyware installed on some of their phones which we could try to do a man-in-the-middle attack to madam corrupter's phone to get the rest of the coins. I could use a python program that can transfer the money with the only thing we need being their passwords and the two-factor code sent through SMS" Chris explained.

"That works fine and all, but how do we even perform a man-in-the-middle attack on madam corrupter?" Anthony asked.

"Do you know how to do network monitoring and making custom firmware for a femtocell?" Chris asked.

"Yes I know how to make custom firmware for what is essentially a tiny mobile tower" Anthony replied.

"Then we will do that, we should be able to discuss the other details with tsociety" Chris said.

"Your returning?" Anthony asked.

"Yes, I changed my mind" he replied 'after having a crush on Mike' Chris thought to himself.

"Great, we will now be able to discuss it with them" Anthony said as he opened the backdoor to the same room that had better lighting than the first time Chris came in.

"What is Chris doing here?" Kate asked.

"He decided to return and we have a plan to take out Ghost code" Anthony said as we got settled in and explained the plan.

"That's all sunshine and rainbows, but how do we even get a femtocell in there?" Kit asked.

"We won't, we will attach a bettery powered femtocell to a drone and be able to monitor them from there" Chris said.

"Will we even be able to fly it there?" Trent asked.

"Yes, it is an old warehouse which is great since there will most likely be weak security and I already have their network password" Chris said.

"Well this plan is a go then, we will get a femtocell and a drone by tomorrow thanks to Amazon's overnight delivery and start preparing tomorrow" Trent said.

"Sounds good, but you might want to stay somewhere else for your safety Chris" Aron said.

"Oh, ok" Chris said.

"You can stay at my place Chris" Mike said as he wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Thanks Mike" Chris said, barely able to contain his excitement.

"No problem, just go home and pack your stuff" Mike said as Chris said goodbye to everyone and went home excitedly.
