I Became a Genius Engineer

Soldier Lee Cheol-woo (3)

Speaking of our headquarters, of course it’s the Cyber Command, right?

It seems that the idea is to get excellent grades in the contest and use it as an important cyber resource.

“Really? I’m fine! No, please.”

It really was an opportunity. It seemed like it would be much more fun to go to the Cyber HQ and learn about security systems than to do boring duty duty every day.

“hahahaha, yeah, I can’t just let a talent like you rot in a place like that. I’ll contact the commander there and ask for it. Oh, and a gold medal friend.”

Sangcheol also received a scouting offer.

“thank you!”

“thank you!”

And we answered at the same time.

“Then, I have a schedule, so I’ll wake up.”

“Loyalty!”

“thanks for your effort.”

After the commander left, several people without military uniform entered.

what? Wasn’t it over?

Just as I was about to get up and say hello, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, started talking to me.

“Please have a seat. And you don’t have to be so nervous.”

hmm… … . What are they doing? Could it be a place like the Defense Security Command in plain clothes? Did he actually figure out that the hacker was me?

I was nervous because I wanted to.

“all right.”

“Actually, we’re the ones doing this.”

He said as he handed over a business card.

「Defense Acquisition Acquisition Program Administration: Security Company CEO Kim Ki-hwan.」

And another person next to me handed over a business card.

「Cho Hyuk, Team Leader of KISA Vulnerability Check Team.」

The first person seemed to be the representative of a company that makes military security systems belonging to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and the next person who gave me a business card… … . He was a person from KISA, Korea Internet & Security Agency.

Just looking at them, they seemed to be people who were in the middle of society.

“Uh… for what?”

“Actually, I’m a little embarrassed because of Mr. Cheol-woo.”

“What happened?”

“Did you know that the contest was held because of the vulnerability of NAC and web firewall?”

“I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard rumors like that.”

“Our security company created that security program.”

“ah!”

You mean this guy was made with that mat? I was suddenly elated.

“So, what are you embarrassing about?”

“… After the vulnerability was discovered, our security experts and KIAS’s security experts stayed awake for 24 hours to check it, but it didn’t come out. Thanks to that, the commander broke it.”

That’s because they were wrong.

“So? Are you here to argue about that?”

“Ha ha, that’s possible.”

“sure?”

“Hmm… I’d like to know how you found out about that vulnerability.”

are you doubting me?

“Well, I guess I understood it just because I did it? No, what if I really made a security program like that? Then, if even confidential information was stolen from North Korea, how would I take responsibility for it?”

“ha ha ha…….”

He replied with a bitter laugh instead.

“Is that all?”

“No, that’s right. They say they put a security program on it, but it would have been impossible to figure it out properly, but they found the vulnerability so elaborately. That’s because Cheol-woo is 21 years old now.”

“What do you want to say now?”

He paused for a while and said.

“I wonder if Cheol-woo is a hacker.”

“……? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“To say that you know the vulnerability accurately means that you were able to hack it. To be honest, I doubt that the hacker is Mr. Cheol-woo.”

“What are these people saying? They’re not thanking me for finding a vulnerability, but they’re arguing that I created this situation? Do you think it makes sense?”

I was a little scared inside, but I came out strong.

Anyway, I haven’t been able to get the water proof until now. That means there is no evidence. These guys are just bluffing.

“……But it makes no sense otherwise.”

“No, then does it make sense for me to be able to hack? You guys made a program with excellent security experts? But I got through it? I’m 21 now?”

“…”

He kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say.

“Don’t lose your strength in a place like this, go and get a security patch quickly. I wrote everything down.”

If I knew this was going to happen, I would not have participated.

“…you’re saying no?”

“Sure. Do you have proof? Bring it if you have it.”

“Huh, no. I’ve been rude. Then, let’s go.”

First, the representative of the security company exited.

“Jo Hyuk-nim? Do you have something else to do?”

Cho Hyuk, who came out of KISA, hadn’t left yet.

“Ah, I just came here because I was curious about what kind of person you are.”

“yes?”

“It was really great. The vulnerability report, how I was able to find it with such an idea… The more I looked at the report, the more I admired it.”

“Ha ha… no. Thank you.”

“I was really surprised. Even when I saw Yoon Sang-cheol’s report, I was sure that this person would be the target, but after that, I couldn’t take my eyes off Lee Cheol-woo’s report. And one more thing, it wasn’t just NAC and web firewall vulnerabilities. was.”

Well, what is it?

“It was a fundamental vulnerability in NAC, and the way to solve it was really great. I didn’t know there was a way to directly mine the MAC address.”

“hahahaha, I just remembered.”

“Eh? Corporal Lee. Are you saying you’re digging up the MCA address yourself? Does that make sense?”

Private Yoon, who was listening quietly by the side, spoke.

“Oh, it worked.”

“Eh? According to my common sense, it’s impossible? Are you saying that’s possible?”

“Uh, okay.”

“……? Can I see the report by any chance?”

“Um… I’m not holding it right now.”

“Oh, I have it.”

A person named Cho Hyuk from KISA took out a file folder from his bag.

It was a report I wrote.

Private Yoon took it out and began to look at it intently.

“Huh? No, crazy? Did you do it this way?”

“Isn’t it amazing? That’s why I said. How you can come up with an idea like that, really… it’s amazing.”

“Wow, really. Team leader Cho Hyuk is right.

“……Did you stay here to say that?”

“Oh, no.”

“then?”

“Did you hear from the commander? You will be assigned to the Cyber Command.”

“Yes. I heard.”

“Perhaps, you will be working with us after you are appointed, so you came to greet us in advance.”

“hahahaha. I see.”

“It would be an honor if things worked out well and we worked together. Oh, and how are you planning to pursue your career after being discharged from the military?”

“Well, I haven’t thought about that part yet.”

“If you don’t mind, please contact me using the business card I just gave you. I’ll treat you well.”

Why do so many people want me?

“Ha ha… Yes, I’ll think about it.”

“Then I’ll go too.”

“Yes. Have a hard time.”

Everyone else left, and Sangcheol and I also went outside.

“Hey, I saw Corporal Lee again. Seriously, isn’t that right? Making a hair shop with CAK in society.”

“No. Tell me how many times.”

“Oh~ Really really! It’s cool. I will continue to be loyal to you.”

“hahahaha, what kind of loyalty.”

“It’s my match.”

“Okay, let’s come back.”

We returned to the base in the car of the officer who was waiting for us.

* * *

Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Command and Communications Command.

“I am, Commander.”

“why?”

“A request has been made to dispatch soldiers from Cyber Command.”

“Hmm? Should I even know that?”

In general, there is no report to the commander about something like the dispatch of a single soldier.

“That’s… it was requested directly by the Cyber Commander, so you should take a look.”

“What is it?”

“I did a little research, and recently the Cyber Commander held a security program vulnerability contest, and two of our soldiers won the grand prize and a gold medal in the contest.”

“Oh, yes?”

“Yes. That’s why I’m requesting you to dispatch the two of them.”

“You can send it. What’s wrong?”

“Uh… well, there’s the basic weapon training system we’re doing right now, isn’t it?”

“Uh. How’s that going?”

“It’s in trouble.”

“That’s a lot of technology? It’s been a while since I ordered it. Still nothing has been done properly!”

“……You know the Commander, too, don’t you?”

“Hu. So why?”

“Those soldiers over there

How about putting it in?”

“Huh? Let’s put it into the basic military training system project?”

“Yes. That’s right. I did a little research on Corporal Lee Cheol-woo, who received the target, and he said that he made a CAK program while he was in the society.”

“Really? Aren’t you a hacker?”

The commander was bewildered.

“Yes. That’s right. I think I was able to do hacking because I had the relevant knowledge. Originally, I was a programmer.”

“Wow, what a madman! That one?”

“Yes. I think so too. So, are they our soldiers anyway? I think it would be good to bring them to the headquarters and use them as our resources.”

“Ummm…. Was the commander of the Cyber Command Lee Brigadier General?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Ah, I’m Hanhae senior. What should I do?”

Brigadier General Lee, the commander of the Cyber Command, was a year senior to Brigadier General Choi, the commander of the Command and Communications Command, at the Korea Military Academy.

“Then, isn’t Lee Cheol-woo’s own will the most important?”

“hahahaha, that’s right. Call me!”

“all right.”

* * *

“Chulwoo Lee!”

“Yes. Commander.”

The unit commander, Major Lee, urgently called.

“……. What the hell are you going through with an accident!”

“Yes? Did you buy it? You just participated in the contest?”

“Ha, I know. But why? Our commander wants to see you in person?”

“Eh? What do you mean?”

“Literally, our commander says he wants to pick you up.”

“…?”

What kind of situation is this again?

“The car is waiting, so let’s go quickly.”

“Is the unit commander going too?”

“Then, the commander is calling you, and I have to go too, my immediate superior. Ha, he’s a really great guy. Really.”

“…… Yes. I’ll prepare right away.”

“Come back in 5 minutes.”

We got ready right away and went to the place where the vehicle was waiting, and we started right away to the headquarters.

“Loyalty! I am Major Kim Chun-shik of the Vice Satellite Operation Bureau.”

“Loyalty!”

Our unit commander saluted the commander, and the commander accepted the salute.

“I ran right away. It seems like the commander is getting younger.”

Flattering the commander is to the point where I can see it in my eyes.

“hahahaha, yes. Major Kim is out for a while.”

“Yes! I see. Loyalty!”

At the commander’s words, our unit commander saluted and went outside.

‘… … . It’s a different feeling from facing the Cyber Commander.’

Is it because it’s your direct superior? I was a little more nervous.

“Corporal Cheolwoo.”

“Corporal! Lee! Cheol! Woo!”

“hahahaha, you don’t have to be so nervous.”

“no!”

I’ve never raised my voice this loud in training camp.

“It’s nothing else, this time the Cyber Command sent a request for dispatch.”

“Yes, it is!”

“Do you want to go to that dispatch?”

“…?”

huh? What do you mean? Do you want to be dispatched? Why are you asking me like that?

“Yes! Yes, I want to go and gain experience!”

“Really? In fact, there is a system development team in our unit, and it is a place that creates military intranet sites. Do you have any plans to work there?”

huh? What else does this mean?

system development team?

It seemed wrong to end my military life quietly.
