Li Jun's life seems to have been eroded by viruses. There is neither a prodigal son nor a country "recruitment". He has reached the peak again and again in extreme ways, and then was quickly wiped out again and again...
Today we will restore the computer virus Panda burning incense, and behind the panda burning incense, the "poison king" who only wants to be ordinary people.
Ordinary person
"On the day I got the technical school textbook, I saw his eyes red." - Li Ming (Li Jun's younger brother)
The beginning of the story, Li Jun is indeed just an ordinary person. When the police announced the resolution of the case, no one believed that behind this virus that ravaged the Chinese Internet, there was just an unknown person.
1982, Li Jun was born in Wuhan, Hubei, and both his parents worked in a cement factory. Li Jun is not the top student or top student that netizens imagine. In the third year of junior high school, Li Jun became a regular customer and was fascinated by the passionate legendary games on the Internet.
In the end, Li Jun's high school entrance examination score was only enough to go to Liu Ji, a town-level high school with a very low admission rate.
In the eyes of parents, going to Liujiujiu is basically equivalent to not being able to get into college, and the family is unable to afford to go to high school at the same time.
For the sake of my younger brother, Li Jun chose to sacrifice himself under the persuasion of his family. After graduating from junior high school, he went to a technical school affiliated to the cement factory, which specializes in cement technology.
If nothing unexpected happens, Li Jun will inherit his father's business, build a cement business, get married and have children, and then grow old.
In September 1998, the school started and returned home with a pile of cement textbooks on his back, and Li Jun cried.
Later, pen friends became popular online. There was a column in the self-introduction that was "the most regrettable thing", and Li Jun filled in "not going to college".
Later, after his younger brother was admitted to college, Li Jun, who had already worked in society, went to the train station to see him off. While crying, he told his younger brother to "work hard."
Li Jun, who went to technical secondary school, has nothing special except that he is the second in the class in height. He has no interest in cement, and it is common for him to skip classes and play games online.
However, if you love to play online games, it does not mean that you are proficient in computers. Most of you in front of the screen will definitely use computers. If you can use a little DOS command, , you will deduct 1 in the comment area, and if you don’t know, you will deduct 2.
At this time, Li Jun is still a thousand miles away from becoming a hacker.
However, two things in 1999 completely changed Li Jun's life.
The first thing is that the school adjusted its direction according to the needs of the cement factory. The cement major has become mechatronics . Li Jun's specialty has also been added, and he has become the fastest typing person in the class.
The second thing is in May 1999. The Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by the NATO led by the United States. Three Chinese journalists were killed and dozens of others were injured.
Although most Chinese people were still unaware of the concept of the Internet at that time, the angry patriotic hackers (Red Ke) had already launched the Cyber Patriotic War. They attacked American websites on a large scale, hung the five-star red flag, and posted anti-American slogans.
Li Jun's alumnus - Lei Lei, is one of these red guests.
One day in May 1999, Li Jun skipped class as usual and went to the Internet cafe. In the secluded corner of the Internet cafe, Li Jun caught a familiar figure.
walked behind Lei Lei and saw a string of strange codes on the screen that he had never seen before. Li Jun instantly widened his eyes curiously.
"Red Ke"
"In this group, as long as you are a master, everyone else will admire you, pursue you, and admire you." - Li Jun
This is the first time Li Jun has seen a living hacker, and he is actually someone he knows.
Although he and Lei Lei knew each other before, they had never had much contact. The chance encounter in the Internet cafe made these two "alternative" in the eyes of others quickly become like-minded friends.
Li Jun quickly joined the organization called the China Hacker Emergency Conference Center, and carried out the mission with Lei Lei, sending black spam emails to the US government to block his network channels.
Once Li Jun said he wanted to give his friend a Flash as a birthday gift. Lei Lei guessed that he might be giving it to the girl he liked, so the two of them studied it together. After several weeks of intermittent work, they created the first Flash. The song was " Only " by Wang Leehom .
Li Jun was hungry and Lei Lei gave him all his gifts. Among the people who went to the trial table with Li Jun in the Panda Incense Case many years later, Lei Lei was the one who went to the trial table, but this is a story later.
In 2000, the cement plant established a new development direction and established a Wuhan Chemical Building Materials Company. Four outstanding students need to be selected from the mechatronics major, Li Jun is one of them.
However, Li Jun does not like cement or building materials. What he is really interested in is to join Lei Lei and countless young enthusiasts in the Internet to avenge his grudges.
On April 1, 2001, a conversation like this appeared over the South China Sea:
"Call 81192, here is 553, I am ordered to take over your aircraft for cruise mission, please return!"
"81192 Received, I can no longer return, you can continue to move forward, repeat, you can continue to move forward! ”
aircraft martyr Wang Wei
After the collision between China and the United States, 19-year-old Li Jun received a military order from the founder Lion, who was only 20 years old, and declared war on the United States overnight. In just one month of battle, they paralyzed more than 1,600 websites, including more than 900 important websites such as the US government and the military.
This made Li Jun's blood boil. Nothing is more enjoyable than putting a five-star red flag on the website of "Paper Tiger" and engraving "national scolding" like "defeating the American hegemony " or "F**K".
What Li Jun is most memorable is the attack after former Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi visited the Yasukuni Divine Toilet in 2001.
Li Jun wrote in the email: The moment he inserted the national flag high on the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine website, the classic scene of Bruce Lee carrying a "Sick Man of East Asia" in the movie " Jingwumen " and kicking it to the Japanese martial arts hall, and kicking it to pieces in front of the Japanese immediately appeared in front of me: "I told you to dare to bully us Chinese!"
Li Jun, who is not good at speaking in reality, can quickly tap the keyboard in the online world and talk to 20 people at the same time.
On the Internet, Li Jun regained his self-esteem: "In this group, as long as you are a master, everyone else will admire you, pursue you, and admire you. I am very happy, just like when I was a child, I was praised by the teacher, and I hope to take math classes... I found that I am increasingly unable to do without the Internet, where I have my self-esteem and my ability to be recognized for the sense of accomplishment..."
However, compared to the passionateness on the Internet, after turning off the computer, Li Jun had to accept the beatenness of reality. In a building materials company, Li Jun’s income is not high, only about 600 yuan a month, and even occasionally he has to get some money from his family.
Lei Lei always feels boring when he goes online with him. Li Jun is about to leave in a short while and says he wants to go to work. Lei Lei will say, what's the best thing to do in that class? Li Jun always answers the same thing. I don't want to go to work, there's nothing I can do.
This huge gap between virtual and the real world constantly tortures Li Jun and prompts him to study computer knowledge even harder. Later when Li Jun was arrested, the police called a three-wheeler and took away nearly a thousand computer books from his rental house.
Finally, in 2002, Li Jun, who thought he had achieved success in his studies, made an act that surprised people around him: he quit his job as a building materials company.
This is the first time he has controlled his own destiny. He finally said that sentence, saying in his heart for a long time, "I don't want to do something I don't like."
"Wuhan Boys"
"We have been following the rules and following the rules, and finally found that we can become the uncrowned king of the virtual world when the night comes." - 0,000 Tao
After leaving the building materials company, Li Jun helped people install computers in the computer city and worked as network administrators - most of them are related to computers, but his struggle with fate was not smooth. The work of network administrators day and night, and they can't make much money. They have to ask their parents for money to buy a computer. After a few years of life like this, Li Jun, who was unwilling to be mediocre, made up his mind to leave Hubei, where he had lived for more than 20 years, and go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where there are large antivirus software companies, and they will definitely be able to recognize their value!
However, reality is another heavy hammer, perhaps because of poor technology, or just because of low education. In short, Li Jun returned to his rental house in Wuhan without success.
Li Jun's younger brother said that Li Jun is a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, and hitting a wall in two job searches will definitely hurt his self-esteem.
It may be at this time that the seeds of panda burning incense gradually began to take root and sprout.
In the circle, everyone has their own code name. Li Jun, who was born in Wuhan, gave himself the code name "Wuhan Boy".
In 2003, Li Jun created his first computer virus, with the same name as his code name - "Wuhan Boy".
When the computer is infected by this virus, once the user runs QQ, the virus will search for the currently opened chat window and automatically send a message, such as "The school beauty of our school is super just right!", "Are you interested in seeing my photos?"
All of these messages carry a link without exception. Once the link is opened, the picture of the beauty will be displayed. The above photo says "Hello everyone, I really hope to be good friends with everyone, my QQ: ××××", and then automatically download and run the virus. The early version of the virus simply sent a web page to increase the number of web views, but with the improvement of the virus, the function of stealing game passwords such as legends has been gradually added, and it will protect the anti-virus software and kill the anti-virus software.
In 2005, Li Jun upgraded "Wuhan Boys" to "Wuhan Boys 2005". In the "Top Ten Viruses in the First Half of 2005" released by Jiangmin Company in July of that year, "Wuhan Boys 2005" ranked 9th. Such achievements once again made Li Jun find a long-lost sense of accomplishment.
However, at this time, Li Jun created the virus only for fun, for showing off his skills and proving his ability, and has not used the virus to make profits. The influence of "Wuhan boys" is not large.
Until later, more and more people began to look for him to customize viruses. Li Jun discovered that he had to find a job, he could do it completely and made money by viruses.
More and more people came to visit him, so Li Jun simply quit his job in the computer city and signed up for a training class for software engineering , with a one-year and two-month period.
During this period, he made money by helping netizens with hacking software, testing server vulnerabilities, etc. He could make several thousand yuan at a time. Sometimes he didn't live for a month, and sometimes he could receive several orders a month.
On October 16, 2006, Li Jun began to make a new virus and mysteriously told Lei Lei that he was working on a "big project".
"Political King"
"The 1990s born in the 1990s are the main force of hackers now. The reason why there are so many small hackers is mainly because many young people need a job to support themselves." - A hacker
Li Jun has been raising dogs since he was a child and likes animals. After seeing the silly panda burning incense expression, he thought it was very cute, so he took it for himself. As long as the computer is infected with a virus, the file with the suffix of exe cannot be executed, and the file icon will become a panda burning incense pattern.
Before, I often saw others posting their results online. Li Jun couldn't wait to post the "Panda Burning Incense" that had just been produced and had not had time to name it, and the buyer also came to the door quickly.
At that time, there were three main ways to make profits by using computer viruses. One was to sell virus with , the other was to sell "branded chicken" with , and the third was to sell traffic with .
Selling virus means virus maker according to the requirements of virus buyer , fill in the "specified URL" in the virus code and then sell it.
However, it is not enough to make a lot of money by selling viruses. Li Jun's "Panda Burning Incense" sold 20 units at a price of 500 to 1,000 yuan per set, which is only 20,000 yuan at the highest price.
In comparison, "selling broiler" is easier to achieve scale of revenue. The so-called "brown chicken" refers to the "brown chicken (machine)" that is controlled by the virus manufacturer after computer poisoning, and becomes a "brown chicken (machine)" that can be stolen at any time. "Selling broilers" means transferring control of "brown chickens". On January 24, 2007, Lei Lei helped Li Jun sell 2,000 "brunch chickens" in just one day.
The third way to make profit is to sell traffic . Due to the rapid spread of the virus on the Internet, Li Jun’s personal website traffic has increased significantly, and at peak, he can have 500,000 traffic per day. If you hang a game Trojan on the website, you can steal a large number of game account passwords.
Wang Lei, 21 years old, from Weihai, Shandong Province, with the online name "Talented Man". After graduating from junior high school, he went to an cooking school, to study chef. Later, he felt that being a chef was too tiring, so he changed to a supermarket to work as a cashier. He still felt too tiring, and finally started a business of "selling traffic".
After learning that Li Jun had a virus, Wang Lei took the initiative to help Li Jun sell traffic, and contacted Zhang Shun, who specialized in account theft to buy traffic, and then shared the money with Li Jun.
Zhang Shun, 23 years old, from Lishui, Zhejiang, with the online name "Liangyao". He dropped out of school in the first year of junior high school and learned to make leather shoes. He worked as a waiter and a chef. Although he did not understand technology, he was very business-minded. He had been in Internet cafes for a long time and soon discovered the "business opportunities" of online game accounts stealing.
After purchasing the traffic from Li Jun’s website, Zhang Shun can receive more than 100,000 game envelopes every day, that is, game account passwords. After receiving these envelopes, Zhang Shun will mobilize his brother, girlfriend and other "letter-opening people" to "letter-opening people", sell other people's game equipment for game coins, and then wash coins.
Although Zhang Shun was able to earn tens of thousands of yuan a day through "opening letters", most of the money was actually made by the middleman Wang Lei and the traffic owner Li Jun. From December 2006 to February 2007, Li Jun made a total profit of 145,000 yuan, Wang Lei made a profit of 80,000 yuan, and bought the Jeep that he had long wanted, and Zhang Shun made only 12,000 yuan.
. Li Jun gradually discovered that Wang Lei had made a lot of difference from it, so he decided to leave Wang Lei aside and cooperate directly with Zhang Shun.
money comes too easily. Li Jun and Lei Lei's days are becoming more luxurious, eating the best things and staying in the best hotel. Li Jun is very generous when he sees netizens, and often fly around, spending up to tens of thousands of yuan a day.
Panda burning incense brings fame to Li Jun, but also brings tangible benefits to him. His account once had a maximum of more than 400,000 yuan, which also gave him more motivation to improve this work that changed his destiny.
Li Jun set up an automatic upgrade server for Panda Burning Incense. The most frequent time is that the virus is updated 8 times a day, which is the same as the anti-virus library of the anti-virus software Kaspersky . This update speed makes it difficult for the anti-virus software to identify the various variants of "Panda Burning Incense".
profit-driven and diarrhea-style updates, panda burning incense began to spread rapidly, and broke out on a large scale in December 2006, raging the entire Chinese Internet world. Millions of individual users, Internet cafes and corporate LAN users across the country were infected and destroyed. After being infected with the virus, rows of panda patterns appeared on the computer screen, and the pandas held three incense sticks and bowed together.
's mysterious "burning incense" triggered various speculations and panic, and soon made headlines of major media. Faced with the overwhelming remarks that found the culprits on the Internet, Li Jun and Lei Lei were confused.
Lei Lei began to complain, why do you need to use the panda to burn incense icon? The virus is to hide it. "You let a fool know that there is something wrong with his computer, so how can he not be exposed?"
As the virus further spreads, the remarks on the Internet are becoming more and more intense, and there are civil warrants everywhere, and some even threaten to hire a killer to kill the virus maker.
In this case, the family couldn't stay there. Because they were worried that they would be found, Li Jun and Lei Lei ran to a hotel to surf the Internet wirelessly.
Lei Lei was busy solving the icon problem. He felt that as long as the poisoned computer icon was restored, there would not be so many people paying attention. Li Jun began to write a special killing software for Panda Burning Incense. In the software, he even brought an apology letter to netizens and was ready to be released on New Year's Eve.
However, it was too late. In addition to the overly ostentatious icon, Li Jun also left a fatal clue in the virus, WHboy (Wuhan Boy).
Following this clue, the police quickly arrested Li Jun and the other three. In the end, Li Jun was sentenced to 4 years in prison and Lei Lei was sentenced to 1 year. In the 2006 China Computer Virus Epidemic and Internet Security Report, Li Jun was named the "Drug King".
This year, Li Jun was only 25 years old, and Lei Lei was also only 25 years old.
General Manager
"Entrepreneurs, don't be afraid of dirty hands." - Li Jun
In prison, Li Jun released the Panda Burning Incense-Burning Software and an apology letter that has been written long ago. The end of the letter reads: "Panda is gone, is it over? No, when the Internet is never safe, maybe in the near future, there will be many more powerful viruses coming out!"
Because of his good performance in prison, Li Jun was given a reduction in sentence and was released early on Christmas Eve in 2009.
After being released from prison, Li Jun said that he would never be a hacker anymore, he just wanted to be an ordinary person.
story should have ended here. According to netizens' plans, he should go to the anti-virus department, or the anti-virus software company, or the information security school of the university, but reality is another critical hit.
In January 2010, Li Jun bought a red down jacket and a new schoolbag, and happily went to Beijing to find a job with Lei Lei. After receiving so many invitations from large companies, they thought that this time, they would definitely find a satisfactory job.
However, in the end they got just a "Internet Security Observer" certificate and a customer service position with a salary of 3,000 yuan.
Some people say that antivirus software companies are worried about hiring "hackers" and their peers are accused of creating viruses. Some people say that Li Jun and Lei Lei are not outstanding in their skills and do not have the ability to write antivirus software. Lei Lei himself said, "It seems they are not going to hire us, but to expose them in the media with our reputation."
In short, the Beijing team came excited and finally returned disappointed.
However, at that time Li Jun was still full of confidence in the future. He solemnly wrote on the Internet: "Everything starts over."
Lei Lei returned to Wuhan and started a car wash shop. Li Jun and Zhang Shun once agreed in prison: After they come out, their brothers will turn back and start a business and make money.
After Li Jun came out of prison, Zhang Shun took his friend to celebrate his birthday, and also gave him a big red envelope worth tens of thousands of yuan, inviting him to start a company together. So Li Jun followed Zhang Shun south and went to Lishui, Zhejiang to operate the "Jinyuanbao Chess and Cards" online game platform.
The company's registered capital is 5 million yuan, and the investment is the boss named Xu Jianfei. Li Jun and Zhang Shun don't have to pay a penny, they each take 15% of the shares, and they also serve as the company's general manager.
Xu Jianfei took a fancy to Li Jun and Zhang Shun because of the panda burning incense incident that Boss Xu's logic is: they create shocking viruses and can make money, which means they are different from ordinary people. "I will provide opportunities today to let them create miracles" - However, Jinyuanbao chess and cards, called games, is actually gambling. Three years later, Boss Xu also became a member of the gambling case.
Li Jun was still unwilling to be just an ordinary person after all. After writing "Everything starts again", he also wrote a lot on the Internet one after another. One of the sentences was, "If you can break through, you are the winner. If you can't break through, you are the ordinary person ", and another sentence was, " entrepreneurs, don't be afraid of dirty hands. "
Lei Lei once went to Lishui and once wanted to see what company Li Jun was running, but for a whole week, Li Jun always refused with various excuses.
Later, Lei Lei finally learned the truth because he appeared in Lishui that time, and he was taken away by the police as a suspect to investigate until it was proved that he had no contact with Li Jun's company.
In 2014, Li Jun was sentenced to for participating in the "online gambling case" involving a total amount of more than 70 million yuan, and was sentenced to for imprisonment.
, Lei Lei, who was acquitted, sent a message full of guilt to Li Jun's girlfriend. He said he regretted it. Li Jun asked him about hackers in an Internet cafe, why did he answer?
ending
"I always live in the world, so how can I not be stabbed... My sword has been for 4 years." - Li Jun
This is Li Jun's famous saying.
Self-taught, was named "Drug King", and was imprisoned twice... There are not many legends in Li Jun's story, but more of them are tragedy.
The beginning of the story, Li Jun, like countless ordinary people, is eager to go to college, be recognized by others, realize his own value, and change his destiny through his own efforts to make his and his family's lives better. For this reason, he, who has a low education, has almost made all his efforts to study by himself and attend training classes.
But even so, he still failed to find a job that would make him recognize him. At this time, it was not entirely Li Jun, and what was wrong with society.
In this case, he was exposed to the virus and the temptation to make quick money illegally. Li Jun is not a natural "poison king". Even when he released the panda burning incense, he himself did not expect that it would cause such a big wave.
If the 4 years lost because of panda burning incense can be said to be a careless and misleading, then the 3 years lost by "Golden Yuanbao Chess and Cards" is more because of Li Jun's compromise and luck mentality when facing temptation.
Li Jun has long realized that "this is not the company he wants", which is far from his ideal. He also knows that what he does is not legal and difficult to last, so he hides it from Lei Lei and persuades him to come to join his younger brother after graduating from college and leave as soon as possible.
But he himself chose to continue doing it. Li Jun tried to deceive himself that as long as the game opened up, he would definitely make money. Those bad methods would only be a process of capital accumulation.
so he wrote the sentence, "Entrepreneur, don't be afraid of dirty hands." But there are many things in , and there will be countless times in when it comes to the first time.
Before being arrested again, Li Jun drove BMW every Spring Festival and returned to his hometown.
When he was burning incense by pandas, he wanted to buy a BMW. Now that he is not afraid of dirty hands, he finally gets his own BMW - the collateral lost by a gambling player.
The passionate young red guest, the "poison king" who has caused a storm, ordinary people who are filial to their parents, care about their younger brothers, and entrepreneurs who are extremely eager to go to college, and those who are "not afraid of dirty hands" are all concentrated on Li Jun alone.
In fact, through these, Li Jun is just an ordinary person who struggles between ideals and reality, and eventually compromises with temptation and is backfired.
Each of us will encounter many setbacks in our lives and face all kinds of temptations. It is easy to choose to compromise, but once you compromise, there may be a deep abyss ahead.
