Hackers may not need to go out, they don't need sunshine, and even their diet is different in peacetime. All they need is a computer, oh, yes, and a network cable.
This is the impression left by too many hacker movies: most of them are in dark rooms, typing wildly with an old computer, and then the whole world is changed by him.
Wang Xianbing is one of them. Too many incidents about hackers have left his footprints, but hackers will never be as famous as himself with real names.
He is a hacker who needs a life, and he also needs a career. Almost all his career revolves around information security-the network brings us a strange thinking, for example, we can't understand an excellent thief to be a policeman, but we have never opposed a famous hacker to be the technical director of an information security enterprise. Wang Xianbing's main job is information security, and hacking may just be his sideline. "I don't like the group activities of hackers, such as 200 1 honker storm against the United States. I taught them some skills earlier. "
He doesn't have the cool leather jacket and sunglasses in The Matrix. When he met the reporter, his hair was a little messy and his clothes were barely wrapped around him-a typical single man, everything was simple. He also has the simplicity of the Central Plains people, and he can say whatever he wants. His story may not be like a legend, but it is enough to make us think.
"If it weren't for Zhu Mingfang, I think I might choose a foreign company."
Doing business is to earn money, working is to make a living, and entering a foreign company is to get better income. For Wang Xianbing, the idea of going to a foreign company stems from his summary of his failure experience.
From 65438 to 0997, Wang Xianbing, who graduated from the Mechanical and Electrical Department of Zhengzhou University, was assigned to Zhengzhou Cotton and Hemp Research Institute. Although he just graduated from college, he liked computers very early and mastered brilliant programming techniques. "1995 ~ 1996, in winter, I go to the computer all night, and the school computer room is so cold that I put on my coat. In order to debug the program, I have to restart the machine hundreds of times a night."
His computer skills soon showed up in his work, and he soon became a backbone. Of course, after all, he is a state-owned enterprise, and his monthly income is pitiful ―― after working for one year, all his wages add up, which is not enough to buy a Pentium 166 computer that was relatively backward at that time.
But he was very happy and developed some projects, which brought hundreds of thousands of yuan to the institute. Of course, he got nothing.
The temptation of the internet made him feel the pressure. In the meantime, because he wrote chat room software for Shangdu Information Port, he began to have a lot of contact with the Internet. From then on, he felt the charm of information security-there are troublemakers in chat rooms every day, and how to make them "shut up" is actually a science.
At this time, the ridiculously low salary made Wang Xianbing unhappy, and the salary was not even enough to surf the Internet. Therefore, at the end of 1999, when Hong Jun Banner Information Technology Co., Ltd., established by Tsinghua University Shenda Research Institute, "poached" him, he chose to change jobs when faced with a monthly salary equivalent to his last year's salary.
"The company is in Shenzhen. I don't even have the money to buy a plane ticket. I will ask my friends to borrow money to fly. When I arrive, I will be reimbursed and the money will be returned to my friends." He said.
There, as the technical director, he completed the overall security solution of Southwest Securities Hu Fei Stock Exchange Network. Since then, he has specialized in the field of network security, which is out of control.
"At that time, the atmosphere of the company was very good, but after one year, the market development could not keep up, and there were fewer projects, and the company developed slowly. I chose to leave. "
The second job is network security. Wang Xianbing came to a Guangzhou company under Huacheng Group to undertake projects including Guangdong Public Security System, Guangzhou Mobile, Southern Securities, etc., but not long after, he left his job because of management problems.
Because of his growing fame on the Internet, his departure attracted considerable attention. Shanghai Chuangyuan was eyeing him, and the boss personally invited him to work in Shanghai. So he went to Shanghai again, and his position was still technical director. But what he didn't know at that time was that what Chuangyuan had to do at that time was just a speculative business, a short-term behavior to approve the software garden. In addition, the anti-virus software has a large initial investment and the market operation is unreasonable. It wasn't long before the company collapsed and he had to choose to leave.
At this time, the boss of Nettai Jinan Company personally went to Shanghai to find him. "wherever I am, I will reserve the position of technical director for you."
Then, Wang Xianbing came to Zhongguancun, the hometown of IT in China. The company invested 70 million yuan and is located in Beijing. In Wang Xianbing's view, its operation should be formal and reasonable. But what he didn't expect was that as a technician, his suggestions were usually not approved, and the position of "technical director" existed in name only. The management shortcomings of Zhongguancun SMEs make him "more tired than doing research and development".
In the past two years, Wang Xianbing has traveled all over China. His position will always be technical director, and the problem he faces is either poor management or the enterprise has other ideas. Wang Xianbing is a purely technical person. What he wants to do is to realize a dream and do a good job in network security. But his question is, are there any enterprises in China that respect talents and technology?
"I am really disappointed with the enterprises run by domestic people. I said one thing and one thing, and the management is not formal. " Wang Xianbing's idea seems to reflect the voice of many Zhongguancun technicians. They may not care about money, but they need a stage where they can perform.
"I don't think I am short of money. My hometown is the countryside. When I was in Zhengzhou, it was only a few hundred dollars a month. I can get through it except eating. " Therefore, Wang Xianbing decided to find a foreign company. Too many acquaintances have taught him how to be formal and how to respect talents, which is also a great temptation for him. He found a place in Beijing and began to sort out his thoughts and recall a series of changes since he left Zhengzhou. After more than half a year of deposit, Wang Xianbing let the wind out. He said to his friend, "I want to find a job now. I just want to enter a foreign company this time. "
Reputation, some well-known international security companies KPMG, ISS, CA, etc., found Wang Xianbing through various channels. After several career setbacks, Wang Xianbing began to be cautious and adopted a negotiation attitude when dealing with enterprises. Just then, Zhu Mingfang found him.
"Teacher Zhu found me and talked to me, hoping that I would not go to a foreign company." Wang Xianbing said.
Wang Xianbing is a patriot with a strong national consciousness. Many online retaliation actions against foreign countries may not be directly related to him, but many tools used to analyze the vulnerabilities of foreign websites and servers are from his hands. Wang Xianbing will not choose to join a foreign company if he can stay in a domestic enterprise. Joining a foreign company will always work for others, which will not help his own national industry, especially intellectual property rights. However, Wang Xianbing did not dare to enter the domestic enterprises, because he lost too many times in gambling, and continued to gamble, even losing the gambling book.
Zhu Mingfang is the president of Beijing Gatejia Information Security Technology Co., Ltd. Gatejia has injected 30 million yuan into expanding the market in the field of information security, and needs the help of top hacker Rainbow Xianbing. Zhu Mingfang was thirsty for talent, but Wang Xianbing did not dare to agree easily. Although he had known and communicated with Zhu Mingfang before, Wang Xianbing had a good feeling about Zhu Mingfang and found it credible, but he was still hesitant.
"I'm here anyway." Now, Wang Xianbing once again chose a domestic enterprise and became the technical director of Gatejia Company.
Wang Xianbing specializes in network security. "We have a product called Gateway, which is used to isolate the network. It can effectively prevent hackers from attacking the intranet, and it is developed by ourselves! " At this point, his spirit is flying.
In addition, Wang Xianbing also provides security services and provides network security assessment and solutions for large users. He still said, "As long as money can guarantee its own development, the rest should be returned to society." Of course, he still continued his hacking activities. "If anyone can break my personal website, he is already very smart." Wang Xianbing said with a smile, "I mainly do projects during the day, run customers and manage, and conduct research on network security technology at weekends." In other words, Wang Xianbing may be wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses at night, typing wildly on the computer keyboard, and then he laughs, which changes the network.
