Who Am I

Mr. X: The target

  I have to find Mr. X, through being the bait. We were afraid of using the public electronic network, so we had to visit a company at night to use its private network, in order to communicate with Mr. X. With difficulty, he gave me access to the dark web channel through a special website, so the conversation started between us:

**

/ Who are you?

/ Who are you?

/ We want to be a member of the friend group.

/ It worked fine with the BND. Let us see if you can do it again.

Meanwhile, the police, accompanied by President Hani, arrived at our location.

/ Welcome to the underworld.

**

Immediately after I received the message, I loaded the data onto a USB stick, then my friends and I fled quickly, while the police were chasing us. I put on my mask and ran in the opposite direction. At that time, I met the president, Hani, who kept besieging me in work offices. I had to hide under a desk. She was about to reveal my place, until:

- "As if the earth swallowed them." shouted one of the detectives. "Let us go this way."

Minutes later, they both left the place, and I went without waiting towards the back door, where I met my friends. Then we ran back to the house.

- "What did Mr. X ask?" the president asked me.

- "He wanted us to send a Trojan horse to the Europol system. Anyone has access to Europol data, so the investigation can be manipulated."

- "And what were your plans?" she asked interrupting my words.

- "We wanted to know who Mr. X was. We needed information from him to clear our name. We wanted to prove to everyone that he did it, that he was behind Krypton's murder. We wanted to get off the most wanted list; we just wanted to stay out of sight."

To get to Mr. X's computer, we had to dig deep. Stefan named our new program 'The Pregnant Horse'; Trojan horses within a Trojan horse. The second server will access Europol using our Trojans. Thus, we will be able to access the computer, and Mr. X's mask will fall off. However, before all that, we had to eliminate all traces:

- "I want to apologize. Sorry". Max told me. "For bruised your eyes, and also for Paulina."

- "You knew how much she meant to me." I answered him sternly. "But you did not care."

- "...what can I say? I am an idiot." He replied sadly. However, I did not care what he said. He added, "You are right. I am a fraud. I cannot do the same as you. I am just a KDE script, I can only copy and paste, nothing more. I do not even know how to code."

-"You think I do not know?" I replied in a hushed tone.

In order to cover our tracks, we burned everything. We set my grandmother's house on fire, and then we left town. We were on our way to The Hague, where Europol was. We had to enter the lion's den, but it was a long way. We tried several methods of infiltration, but to no avail. Our old ways too (fishing) did not work. Actually, we tried to break into the place through the sewer, but it was closed. We thought of breaking the bars, so Max hurt himself by poking a hole in his hand with a screwdriver. We had to give up, and to admit the difficulty of getting into Europol. This was my entire fault, and this was my responsibility. I was drawn into this problem, and I have to get out of it too.

I got up early. It was around five in the morning, while the rest were asleep, I dressed in elegant clothes, I carried an entry card that a visitor had dropped near the center, and then I headed towards Europol. A man must have confidence and courage on himself. Social engineering was my only weapon that applied it against one of gatekeepers:

-"Excuse me. I am in the study group and I dropped my wallet in the cafeteria. Could you let me in? I will go in and out right away."

- "The place is closed." He replied: "Come tomorrow".

- "I lost my wallet before." I pointed to him at the impact of the punches on my face. "And my father... I did not know what to do."

- "Sorry". He replied. "I cannot let you in." Then I begged him:

-"Please. You will never know how much it means to me."

However, his answers were negative. I turned around in great disappointment, and walked away. Until the guard suddenly called me:

- "You. Come here." Then he opened the gate and escorted me to the cafeteria wing. The doors were locked, each door required a special access card, and the guard was like a key to me. After we reached the place, he told me, "Two minutes." Then he left.

Then my mission began. I checked the place first, it was empty, and there were no security cameras. Then I took out Paul's walkie-talkie and secured it under a table. It took me more than two minutes, which increased the guard's suspicions, so he had to check me out. As soon as he arrived, the work was done and I walked out without causing any trouble.

With Paul's box, I was able to access the wireless network by forwarding the second identical services, this method is called 'evil twin'. If someone enters the web, I will be able to access through the victim's computer, and thus it will be easier for me to access the server.

Mr. X gave us the key to access the Darknet Channel, where we found the instructions. I just needed to introduce a trojan to Mr. X. Once it reaches the protocol server, his mask will be dropped.
