So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 544: Action

“Well, I have nothing to do for these few days, so I’ll just come over to accompany you…” said Zhou Jiajia.

“Well… great! Thank you, Zhou Jiajia.” Wang Zhitao said, feeling moved, “Treat this as your own home. I just can’t get up from the bed. My body is still weak, so I can’t get up to receive you as a guest…”

“It’s alright. You have a good rest.” Zhou Jiajia nodded. “Do you want to have some fruit? Can I get you one?”

“No need… There’s a sedative in the injection that I received this morning which makes me a little sleepy…” Wang Zhitao said as he yawned, “I have to sleep first… There is a TV in the living room. You can go and watch something…”

“Okay then, you should rest.” Zhou Jiajia smiled sweetly. “I’ve brought my notebook. You don’t need to care about me.”

“Great…” Wang Zhitao nodded and closed his eyes.

Zhou Jiajia tiptoed out of Wang Zhitao’s bedroom and closed the door for him. After waiting for a while, she heard the soft snoring in Wang Zhitao’s room. Only then did she feel at ease.

Zhou Jiajia came to the living room. She first took out a small instrument from her computer bag. She adjusted the frequency and began to scan. Generally, many wealthy people like to install surveillance monitors and other similar things. Zhou Jiajia wasn’t sure if there was such a thing in Wang Xifan’s home, so she had to be careful.

Fortunately, the result of the test was that Wang Xifan didn’t have any monitoring systems installed at home. The reason might also because there was a maid at home. It wasn’t easy to have a thief enter the house.

Zhou Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief and connected the computer to Wang Xifan’s network with a network cable. She looked at the IP address obtained by the computer. The IP network segment was local network X.

With the use of software to scan the computers on the current LAN, she didn’t find other clients. It seemed that it wasn’t booted up. So, Zhou Jiajia got up and went to the study upstairs. Fortunately, the door of the study wasn’t locked. It seemed that Wang Xifan didn’t guard himself.

Zhou Jiajia listened carefully to the movements in the corridor, then she quickly came to the desk to switch on the computer on the desk.

Following ” Di ,” a crisp sound, the screen stayed on the BIOS boot up screen, “PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD!”

He actually set a BIOS password for the motherboard! This was the most difficult password for Zhou Jiajia. Zhou Jiajia just simply typed in the birthday of Wang Zhitao. It was incorrect. She also typed in the name of Wang Xifan, and it wasn’t right. She tried a few more and it was still incorrect.

This kind of password wasn’t like the password of the system. If it was the password of the operating system, it could be directly booted up by the PE system to bypass the original operating system. But, the BIOS password couldn’t be dealt with as such. If the test wasn’t passed, the system wouldn’t start up at all!

Zhou Jiajia was helpless. She probably had to take out the hard disk! Although the password could be cleared by removing the CMOS battery, that would be discovered by Wang Xifan.

Looking at the back of the computer case, Zhou Jiajia had another headache. It was a branded machine! The seams of the computer case were affixed with a pile of fragile seals with the glaring words, “Invalid After Tearing!” It seemed that the method of removing the hard disk from the computer casing couldn’t be realized either. She could only find another way.

Zhou Jiajia sighed and left the study to come to the living room. Now, she could only try again from other places. Although she had to work harder, she still could achieve her goal.

She easily found the IP address of the LAN router. Zhou Jiajia used a browser to log in to the router’s setting interface. However, it wasn’t possible to display the page.

This router was either too high-end or too low-end. Zhou Jiajia could only log in via TELNET in the DOS window. It was a “Fishman[1]” brand used in high-end internet cafes. Zhou Jiajia had also seen several units of this kind of router. The price was more than ten thousand yuan. All of them were for commercial usage. It was rarely used by the public. But, wealthy people like Wang Xifan might be an exception.

Unexpectedly, the router’s password wasn’t the default password because it had been altered. Zhou Jiajia had a greater headache. She didn’t expect someone to change the access password of the router in their personal home. She didn’t expect to get off on the wrong foot [2]!

However, Zhou Jiajia immediately figured it out. In retrospect, it was set up by the network engineer staff during the renovation period. There were two advantages to doing this. One of them was to prevent people who didn’t understand computers from changing the settings casually. Second, once the network had a problem, customers could only find them. With that, they could earn an internet maintenance fee.

She walked around the house two times. Soon, Zhou Jiajia saw a router in the place where the network at the door was installed. At first glance, she couldn’t help but become speechless. Sure enough, it was within her expectations. In order to prevent others from modifying the settings, there was no reset button on the router. However, there was an advantage to it. Such high-end routers had a COM serial port for debugging.

As long as there was a serial port, it would be easy! Zhou Jiajia connected the serial port of the router with her laptop. Then, using the HyperTerminal, she easily obtained the password of the router.

As she entered the router’s settings, Zhou Jiajia recorded the external network IP when there was internet input. Then, she looked at the internet records on the router.

She found out that only four computers in Wang Xifan’s home had been recorded on the router. One of them was a Mac which was the Mac notebook that she just used to surf the Internet. The other Mac was using the Mac’s beginning format of the Intel wireless network card. So judging from this, it should be Wang Xifan’s notebook that surfed the internet.

As she checked out the connection method, it was indeed wireless access. The remaining two MACs should be the computer in Wang Xifan’s study and Wang Zhitao’s computer.

It was much easier by process of elimination. After reading the timestamps for the IP addresses of the two MACs which had surfed the internet, Zhou Jiajia grasped the situation. One of the computers’ IPs accessed the internet during the day, and the other only occasionally accessed the internet at night.

Wang Zhitao went online at home during daytime recently. The computer that went online at night definitely was the computer in Wang Xifan’s study.

After grasping the situation, Zhou Jiajia set the IP of Wang Xifan’s computer into a “DMZ” in the router, and then she restarted the router. After the configuration had taken effect, the cable in the COM port on the router was removed. She carefully put the router back in its place.

As such, she only needed to monitor Wang Xifan’s computer every night. After her own setup, the computer in Wang Xifan’s study had been completely exposed to the external network from the original LAN.

Although it wasn’t impossible for Zhou Jiajia to breach in without setting up the DMZ, it was relatively troublesome. The “Fishman” brand router was a well-known hardware firewall router, which wasn’t easily breached.

After getting all this done, Zhou Jiajia wiped the sweat from her face. A voice suddenly spoke behind her, “Jiajia, what are you doing?”

Zhou Jiajia’s hand was still on the router. It was an abrupt surprise as though her soul was going to escape her body. She turned around anxiously and saw Wang Zhitao standing not far away looking at her.

” Ugh … this is the case. I think the speed is a bit slow. I wanted to see if there is any problem with the router here…” Zhou Jiajia quickly crafted an excuse.

” Oh , I see. I think this broken net is also slow. I must have been fooled by the people in charge of the renovation with this broken router. I have already wanted to replace it!” Wang Zhitao listened to Zhou Jiajia’s words and went along with it. “I play games too. It makes me lag to death!”

“What game do you play? Which area?” Zhou Jiajia followed up with Wang Zhitao on the topic in order to escape from the awkwardness just now.

“Legend, I play Southern Telecom District…” said Wang Zhitao.

“…” Zhou Jiajia was speechless. This Wang Zhitao really didn’t understand even a small bit of professional knowledge. Y ou’re using Netcom’s network to play games in the telecommunications area. How could you suffer any lags?

“Jiajia, after a few days, can you accompany me to buy a better router? Don’t you understand this stuff better?” Wang Zhitao said, “It always lags. When I PK [3] with the others, I’m instantly dead…”

“Alright…” Zhou Jiajia answered perfunctorily. She thought to herself, Your router is already good enough to open up an Internet cafe at home, but you still want to buy something better?

Wang Zhitao got up and went to the toilet. In fact, he also wanted to check if his hidden disease was better or not. After all, Zhou Jiajia was a beautiful woman and she was right in front of him. He could only appreciate her visually but not enjoy her. Wang Zhitao found it hard to endure.

However, the result was disappointing to Wang Zhitao. There was no reaction at all… So, Wang Zhitao still had to pretend to be a gentleman and keep a distance from Zhou Jiajia.

In fact, even if Wang Zhitao couldn’t do that, he wanted to be more intimate with Zhou Jiajia. But, Wang Zhitao was terrified. He was afraid that when they became intimate if Zhou Jiajia couldn’t control herself from doing it with him, then wouldn’t he be done for?
