A hacker war triggered by a collision event, 80,000 people participated, more than 4,000 websites were attacked… What was the scene of this seemingly smokeless war? Let’s dream back to 2001 and watch it together.

“81192 cannot return”

“–” Calling 81192, this is 553, I’ve been ordered to take over your cruise, please turn back!”

“–” 81192 Roger, I cannot return, proceed, repeat, proceed!”

In those days “81192 crash incident” is not only our pain forever, but also become the direct fuse of hacker war.

At 8 am on April 1, 2001, the PLA spotted a US EP-3 reconnaissance plane in the airspace of China’s exclusive economic zone 70 nautical miles (110 kilometers) southeast of Hainan Island, and promptly dispatched two J-8 fighter jets to intercept it. At the age of 33, Wang Wei flew the J-8 fighter no. 81192 to spy on US aircraft at low speed, regardless of his personal safety. During the tense confrontation between the Chinese and US warplanes, the US reconnaissance plane suddenly turned its nose and rammed into 81192, while its nose and left wing rammed into 81192.

Wang Wei’s life falls at this moment, and the curtain of the Sino-AMERICAN hacker war also pulls open at this point.

A “Red and black war”

When the crash was over, anger was hard to contain. Some hacker groups in China are preparing to launch a “hacker fightback” during the May Day holiday.

Therefore, since April, the well-known China Hongke Union began to recruit computer technicians on the Internet, and held secret meetings through the Internet to fight back. At that moment, as many as 80,000 hackers and related technicians signed up to participate.

At that time, China Hongke Union was a non-commercial non-governmental technical organization in China, mainly composed of computer enthusiasts, carrying out planned and organized research, communication, sorting and promotion of computer technology. At the same time, different from other hacker organizations, Hongke Union is a civilian patriotic group. All its words and actions are based on patriotism and the maintenance of Chinese dignity. The voice and actions of China Hongke Union represent the integrity of the Chinese nation.

Therefore, under the call of China Hongke Union, China Hawk Union and China Hacker Union, the three most well-known hacker organizations in China. On May 1, 2001, the hacking war between China and the United States officially began.

On May 1, the “red and black war” between Chinese and American hackers began as scheduled. On the homepage of the hacked U.S. website, Chinese netizens left slogans such as “Long live the Great Chinese nation,” “The U.S. must take full responsibility for the collider incident,” and “Protest against U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and destruction of world peace.”

On May 4, tens of thousands of people simultaneously attacked the White House website, paralyzing it for more than two hours. A spokesman for the website said in a statement that the White House website had been “deliberately attacked” and that “a large amount of data was flooding in simultaneously, blocking the connection between the White House and its Internet service provider.”

In the latest attack, Chinese hackers used “human sea tactics” to target the White House website. The White House website was shut down for more than two hours between 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. local time on May 4.

On May 8, Chinese hackers launched a new offensive, attacking the US Coast Guard, the US Treasury Department, the US Naval Resources network and other websites, Posting pictures of the Chinese pilot Wang Wei who died in the crash, with slogans such as “vowed to fight hegemony”.

In the meantime, the US is not idle. After repeated attacks, 92 American sites have been “compromised” on the websites announced by China Hongke Union, and more than 600 Chinese sites (including those in Taiwan) have been hacked from netizens. According to the analysis, because some hongke failed to report the websites that were hacked in time, the proportion of Chinese and American websites that were hacked was about 1:3.

And when the “counterattack” to May 9, three hacker organizations suddenly issued a joint statement, announced to stop the attack on the American website, this “hacker war” ended.

The end of the war has affected us to this day

The operation ended. Hongke members who had participated in the “Sino-US hacking war” recalled that neither side had won the so-called victory. Many of the influence-peddlers involved in the attacks on American websites had to help fix vulnerabilities on domestic sites as well as attacking outside networks.

According to the statistics of hongke Alliance, as of May 7, 2001, although more than 1600 American websites were compromised, including more than 900 government and military websites. However, more than 1,100 Chinese websites and more than 600 major websites have been compromised by US hackers.

This high-profile “Red and black War between China and the United States” not only aroused high media attention in that year, but also completely awakened China’s awareness of Internet security. Many computer technicians who participated in the hacker war began to devote themselves to the maintenance and operation of network security after this.

More than ten years later, we come to the era of data today, the power of the network is increasing, if the hacker war is ignited again, the loss and harm will be beyond imagination. Network security this attack and defense war, we must work harder.
