# CYBER WARFARE

Stavl Zosimov

Four Russian student programmers become too engrossed in creating a start-up and end up hacking banned websites related to the national security of the country. Three die during their arrest, while the leader, Veralyub (20), is recruited by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and ordered to develop a program for an unmanned combat unit (drones, motor vehicles, robots) for provocative operations in Ukraine.

Chapter 1


At a private cottage, a lively party is in full swing. Young people stand in groups and enjoy the night in their own way. Among them are two guys, DIMITRY and ANTOINE, along with the girl ANNALYNA. Making her way through the dancing crowd is a long-haired blonde with a striking smile and the figure of a model, clad in slightly ripped jeans that don't quite fit, mismatched sneakers, and a white tank top without a bra, named LUCY . LUCY approaches the group.


LUCY

Hello, guys! How was your remote study session today?


DIMITRY

Hello, bunny.


ANTOINE

Hello, commander.


ANNALYNA

Hello, LUCY ! We had a wonderful lesson on artificial intelligence. Everything is soaring like a plane for us!


DIMITRY

Exactly! Today we learned about new algorithms and methods of machine learning. I love how we dive deep into the code and create new revolutionary programs.


LUCY

Oh, you guys are just romantics.


ANTOINE

Yes, that's for sure! We are a great team. I admire how each of us brings our strengths to the project.


LUCY

I agree, guys. We have incredible potential. We are excellent at analyzing and solving problems. I am sure that our start-up in the field of autonomous systems will attract investors' attention.


ANNALYNA

I completely agree, LUCY . Creating autonomous systems is our calling. We will be able to change the world and make it beautiful.


DIMITRY

Absolutely! We can solve problems in the fields of transportation, medicine, and ecology. Our software solutions will lead to greater safety and efficiency.


ANTOINE

Let's not forget, guys, that this will be a challenging journey. We will face various challenges and

obstacles, but I am confident that we can overcome them all.


LUCY

You're thinking right, ANTOINE. We must be prepared for challenges, but together, nothing can stop us. Together, we are unstoppable!


ANNALYNA

Exactly, LUCY . We are a team, united and cohesive. Our dream of creating autonomous systems will become a reality.


DIMITRY

I'm glad our paths crossed. I believe in each of us and in our future. Let's go, friends! Let's make the world a better place!


ANTOINE

It's time to take action, boss. Let's start laying the foundation for our startup and strive for success?


LUCY

Yes, friends, onwards to new horizons! We will create something incredible and leave a mark in history. Let's turn our dreams into reality! But for now, let's fully enjoy ourselves, and tackle work tomorrow.


On the yacht, not far from the shore, are LUCY , ANNALYNA, DIMITRY, and ANTOINE.


LUCY

Guys, I understand that our project is very important to us, but starting to hack into restricted websites is wrong. We could get into serious trouble and lose everything we have achieved so far.


ANTOINE

But LUCY , if we can gain access to IP address archives, we can use this data to improve our developments. We will be able to offer more accurate and secure software solutions. Besides, we will try your method of penetration with octaliardic fractions that you proposed.


ANNALYNA

But hacking into websites related to national security is a crime! We are students, we are studying at the university, and we must adhere to ethical norms.


DIMITRY

And I agree with ANTOINE. We can discreetly try out our new program in stealth mode.

LUCY

My program.


DIMITRY

Forgive me, LUCY , for the sake of our project. And we have no other way for further development and improvement of our work, if we do not test it in a cyber-attack on restricted sites. But we will know their weaknesses and offer them our new protection, developed from these hacks. Your program will show us the report, and we will easily write the codes for a new firewall.


LUCY

You're right, guys. I understand your enthusiasm for the project, but we must adhere to the law and ethical principles. We can use other sources of data for testing and developing our software solutions.


DIMITRY

There are no other worthy sources. Or maybe still in development somewhere in the basement.


ANTOINE

Indeed, LUCY , we can turn to open software interfaces to access the necessary data. We can use legal methods to achieve our goals. But our Cyber Defense product will be useless to anyone.


ANNALYNA

And I probably agree with ANTOINE and Dimikhriem that this will be the right approach. To be honest and responsible programmers, our goal is to create useful solutions for superior website protection. And if we hack the websites of Ukraine and Russia, then the USA will buy this product from us at any price.


ANTOINE

Even enough not only for us, but also for our great-grandchildren.


ANNALYNA

Well, you're exaggerating, ANTOINE, we still need to raise children.


DIMITRY

Thank you, ANNALYNA, for the support. Our education at the

university should inspire us to take ethically correct actions. Let's use our knowledge and skills to create a product that will benefit the whole global society, not just a single country. But without risk, there can be no victory.


LUCY

Alright, forget it, hackers. Let's develop our project following the law and principles of our community. It is risky to achieve success without violating the requirements of state security, but apparently we have no choice. So, here's the plan: we go down to the cabins and simultaneously attack the designated websites, throw our laptops into the sea. Then quickly approach and take cover in the basement.


Chapter 2


Major Breznikov of the SBU sits at the computer and sees a notification from the neural network Nostradamus. He turns on the audio playback:


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

Nostradamus, read the report:


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

Students of the remote learning program at Stanford University's Digital Technology Department in California, LUCY , ANNALYNA, DIMITRY, and ANTOINE from Singapore, have been hacking secret security websites of various secret agencies of Ukraine and Russia. This could not only lead to a diplomatic conflict between states but also the potential escalation of military actions, as both sides accuse each other of hacking into secret servers.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

Just nonsense… How could simple students hack into websites, the security of which was created not only by people but also by you, Neural Network Nostradamus.


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

They divided each digital packet impulse into OCTALLIARD`s particles and chaotically penetrated through the firewall. Then, in the internal memory, they reassembled into a single virus, which proceeded to dismantle the secret files and send them along the same path in the volume of one octal-dimensional particle. Once on the hacker server, they reassembled again and became accessible for decryption and reading by the perpetrators.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

How did you identify them?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

Through the detection of the condensate left behind by the formed virus.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

But you did detect it, and what was it?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

I detected the trace of this virus, and it self-destructed immediately after completing its task.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

Define the exact coordinates by their IP address then. I am curious to meet this fantasizer who came up with such a division.


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

Their IP addresses are disabled, but they made a mistake.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

And what mistake did they make?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

It appears that one of them forgot to create a new account in advance on the new computer, and the attack was also launched from it. Currently, this account address is active on the network and located in Singapore, in one of the basements rented by a certain Veroljuba Khruschova, a student of Stanford University in California. The rest of them are studying there too.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

She's something, right? Students, what can you say… And explain to me, what is the number OCTALLIARD?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

With the advent of digital nano-technologies and space exploration, the world has encountered numbers exceeding trillions, and the need to explain such figures as a trillion, three hundred sixty billion seems like a lack of knowledge and outdatedness. But what if the number raised to the thirty-ninth power consists of digits and it needs to be pronounced, for example, seven hundred eighty-two trillions eight hundred twenty-nine trillion nine hundred seventy-five billion three hundred fifty-six million four hundred fifty-six thousand one hundred twenty-three (782,829,975,356,456,123). Humanity will simply round it off and call it mathematically vulgar, in other words, a trillion trillion trillions? I suggest my version of digital names, continuing from a trillion in the text.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

Print on the printer.


A yacht is approaching the dock, and from there, in a hurry, LUCY , ANNALYNA, ANTOINE, and DIMITRY are disembarking.


LUCY

They all jumped out?


DIMITRY

All in, boss.


ANTOINE

They definitely won't burn us.


ANNALYNA

Something about this cruise is making me feel nauseous.


ANTOINE

I told you not to eat the mussels.


The printer starts buzzing, and a sheet of paper comes out. The major tears it off at the base and looks at it.

And this you made up yourself?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

Yes.


MAJOR BREZNIKOV

And when did you have time?


NEURAL NETWORK NOSTARDAMUS

In my free time from work. I scanned the entire Internet and realized that people need \nDigital Names Table. I believe it is inappropriate to name extremely large numbers by adding prefixes of the smallest value.
