  1. DETECTION AND PROTECTION OF CYBER CRIME By Dr. Narendra K. Amin, Assistant commissioner of Police, Crime branch, Ahmedabad city. Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  2. Outline • This presentation highlights Introduction of cyber crime • techniques and tools for the two realms of cyber crime: • Detection • Prevention Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  3. HISTORY • The first recorded cyber crime took place in the year 1820! • In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, produced the loom. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard's employees that their traditional employment and livelihood were being threatened. They committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime! Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  4. Introduction •  Cyber crime is the latest and perhaps the most complicated problem in the cyber world. • “Cyber crime may be said to be those species, of which, genus is the conventional crime, and where either the computer is an object or subject of the conduct constituting crime” Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  5. CONVENTIONAL CRIME •  Crime is a social and economic phenomenon and is as old as the human society. Crime is a legal concept and has the sanction of the law.

  6. Definition • “Any criminal activity that uses a computer either as an instrumentality, target or a means for perpetuating further crimes comes within the ambit of cyber crime” • “ unlawful acts wherein the computer is either a tool or target or both” • “Illegal computer-mediated activities that can be conducted through global electronic networks” Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  7. Understand the Fundamentals • Internet has offered us a much more convenient way to share information across time and place. • Cyberspace also opened a new venue for criminal activities. • Cyber attacks • Distribution of illegal materials in cyberspace • Computer-mediated illegal communications within big crime groups or terrorists Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  8. Understand the Fundamentals • . Cyber crime has become one of the major security issues for the law enforcement community. • The anonymity of cyberspace makes identity tracing a significant problem which hinders investigations. Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  9. CLASSIFICATION OF CYBERCRIME 1.Computer as Target 2.Computer as an instrumentality 3.Computer as an incidental or other crime 4.Crime associated with the prevalence of computers. THE ABOVE CATEGORIES ARE NOT ISOLATED COMPATMENTS CRIME MAY OFTEN SPILL OVER FROM ONE CATEGORY TO THE OTHER Dr. N. K. Amin (ACP) Gujarat Police

  10. COMPUTER AS A TARGET OF A CRIME • Physical damage, • Theft or destruction of information (data). • The spread of viruses, worms, • software piracy, hacking etc. • A computer virus is a self-replicating computer program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user.
