This language should be easier for her.

It's beginner -friendly and isn't too complex.

You should have taught her assembly first to learn more concepts.

Not everyone is a masochist like you.

I knew it.

She hasn't learned about pointers.

Although, it's not necessary for her right now.

Can I ask you something first?

Do you like coding?

Somewhat.

Hmph.

Same as me, then.

Alright, Fern.

Are you ready for an interview?

Isn't it too soon?

A bit, but you've done enough

Leak Code to get through common questions.

Leak Code itself doesn't help.

But you have good skills.

Your connections will also help you land an interview in the first place.

Leak Code knowledge would just help build your confidence for the actual process.

Did Himmel use Leak Code?

No, he said it was useless.

Oh, you must be here for the interview.

Let's start with a fizz buzz challenge, okay?

A lot of people haven't solved this.

It's quite simple.

Have three if statements that should calculate the remainder of the input.

The method should have an integer argument to pass in any number.

Then return fizzbuzz or fizz or buzz based on the input, also returning the input if it's not properly divisible.

I see.

Did I pass the interview?

It was only one question.

Don't worry about that yet, dear.

There was actually another problem I was hoping you could solve.

What do you think the solution to this problem is?

They said I was perfect for the job, but they're looking to go in another direction.

Hmm.

I understand now, Vern.

They used you for free labor.

Maybe you should try cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity?

Why?

It pays more.

You know, that's only true for criminals!

Oh, I'm surprised.

You managed to stop my attack.

You must have a very powerful server.

Mistress Firen, what's going on?

That was a basic DOS attack.

That is the ping of death.

A denial of service attack he developed.

To kill thousands.

She's trying to spam TCP connections, but it's slow.

Plain offensive attacks and a basic firewall?

You only use SIN flooding.

Once I block your IP, what will you do next?

I was taught to use only basic attacks on targets.

That's your senior's philosophy then?

Yes.

She said it's enough to defeat servers of this era.

Sure.

Canal?

It's impossible.

It uses a SHA -256 hash.

Even if the world were turned upside down.

She cracked it.

Zensa, get our incident responders on this.

They've already tracked the source.

Her name is Freerin.

That's one of the company's top bug bounty hunters.

She apparently bypassed the server -side protections as well.

So, she's the last great hacker.

I can't believe you actually got through.

How did you decrypt it?

It was actually a supply chain attack.

I took advantage of an unpatched CVE.

And that allowed you to unhash it?

There was a bit more to it than that.

I didn't need to brute force anything, because the server allowed me to bypass their security.

That's the short version, at least.

Hmm, the code is all over the place.

The documentation also doesn't explain much.

Are you up for the challenge?

As long as I'm compensated.

That sounds familiar.

What are you talking about?

Hmm.

I met a man who seemed fond of you some time ago.

He mentioned that he worked for a company that hired you for pen testing.

A great honor, he said.

Well, that's a bit much.

Two weeks later, that same company had all their exploits published on GitHub.

And coincidentally, I remember you telling us that you stopped doing bounties somewhere around that time.

I wonder if that person was compensated.

If they weren't, I wonder why they would ban someone over something they deemed not critical enough to pay for.

Be careful, Freeran.

Or should I say...

Chaotic Elf.

100

How do you know that name?

101

Freeran.

102

There's a new

103

Microsoft bounty listed for 80 ,000.

104

You're still doing those?

105

Course I am.

106

You can't turn a blind eye to a vulnerability of this size.

107

Sure, but do they even pay you?

108

The last time you submitted your bounty, they rejected it, but added a fix for it anyway.

109

Freeran, if my efforts were enough to fix a critical vulnerability, one that could potentially disrupt millions, then I consider that payment as well.

110

Besides, I got to brush up on my Python skills afterwards.

111

Python.

112

Maybe I'll learn assembly like Freeran.

113

Are you a masochist?

114

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

115

I guess that's one way to look at it.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
