Report on Cybercrime Tracking
These days internet is a boon and everybody is using it right from schooling. We are able to connect one part of the world to another using internet. But there are few dark sides by the usage of internet. Taking terrorists under consideration, they are able to retrieve data through internet and wifi devices by which it gets harder to trace them out. Cyber terrorism is one of the major crimes in this world.
But there is always a way to tackle the wrong doers. We have a way to find them its called wifi positioning tool. Previously we were able to track the location based on ip and mac address that can only retrieve a wifi spot but cannot give us the access point of a particular device. This positioning tool can take us to a point from where particular user is accessing data over the internet. We also call it as a digital marauder’s map.
Here we design single-antenna based system which checks the traffic probe regarding the communication between different users in a connected area under coverage. To increase the coverage area and traffic collection, we can increase the antenna gain and amplifiers with noise reduction techniques. There are some procedures, experiments and also theorems in implementing the right way of tracking the forensic devices. As in this experiment the limit of detection is around 1km of radius and the accuracy of forensic localization has a error limited to 10 meters which is a serious threat to location privacy.
There are variety of experiments conducted based on accuracy, probing traffic, coverage area, forensic localization and transmission distance. And yes, I believe that it can be adopted. As the availability of resources to implement this can be easily arranged and assembled...

...xamples taking under consideration like modeling and countermeasures based on internet threat monitors. But still in future there may be new traffic implementation by the attackers for which we need to change the methods and updates for users and their software.
I agree that this research can be adopted by using proper methods, being aware of attacks and its measures. This should be implemented to get rid of future attacks on localized users with low protection.

The future of America is definitely affected by terrorism and terrorism has benefited from the new technologies that aid and speed up communication around the world. Terrorists can use tactics that they know and manipulate advanced technologies such as the internet. These technological advantages have certainly improved the capabilities of terrorist groups to plan and accomplish their operations. It also offers these terrorists the ability to affect communities faster and much more intensely than earlier terrorists. In order to reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, in regards to their threats, strategies and tactics, when dealing with the internet, a complete understanding of the nature of America’s enemies is necessary.
...initely at risk if anything more than the barest of features are implemented with the technology. It’s evident that the technology is not a necessity today, and that widespread usage may be something that’s quite a bit ahead in the future, if at all. Unfortunately, this is one technology that may initially find a better home in countries seeking to better track their citizens.
Terrorism is a growing threat in modern times. Ultimately all activities need co-ordination and such co-ordination is facilitated by communication. Terrorist activities need communication as well as any other activity. In order to avoid getting traced, such communication can be done over secure lines on open public networks or hacked private networks.
Through the practice of using encryption tools and inventive methods, terrorists have made the Internet a resourceful and secure means of communication. For instance, terrorists are able to generate hidden messages and saved email drafts, which can be used to send private information across the world, in a matter of seconds. Another advantage of the Internet (used by cyber terrorists) is the ability to operate remotely and anonymously (from a secured location) until they have committed an act of terror. At the same time, cyber terrorism is often cheaper and less dangerous than physical acts of terrorism because it does not require funding for weapons, ammunition, or multiple members to achieve its
Barrett says the technology works by acting like a cell phone tower and tricking the phones to send information to the device. The device is carried by an airplane, and it scans data as it flies over land. After the device picks up on a cell phone, it can track that phone to within three yards of its actual location. The technology was supposed to be only intended to spy on terrorists overseas, but Barrett claims it’s also scanning the domestic cell phones used by innocent people.(Barrett) He reports the CIA and Justice Department began creating this new technology shortly after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. Since then he reports that over 100 million dollars have been spent on developing a way to attain information from cell phone users. This technology is used primarily in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, but “Civil-liberties groups say the technique amounts to a digital dragnet of innocent American’s
In today’s society technology is used for everything. With the invention of computers and the internet this open doors to the cyber world. Today you can do almost anything without having to leave your home. The internet gives us the opportunity of shopping online, ordering food online, working from home and video chatting with friends and family across the world. Everyone has a computer and internet access in their homes. While the internet is really convenient it also opens doors for cybercrimes, loss of privacy and the need for computer security.
Privacy is considered to be subjective and can be defined by people in various ways however most will agree that privacy is an extremely important core value. Privacy is a way of protecting the personal information of someone. With advancements in technology and people using the internet, more than ever, society has been force to change their views on privacy to deal with the changing technology. One innovative piece of technology that has recently been causing people to rethink their privacy is Google View and how it was being used to conduct Wi-Fi vacuuming. This paper explores the ethical and legal issues associated Google’s Wi-Fi vacuuming and its impact on privacy. Included is an explanation of the technology and a discussion of the primary legal and ethical issues involved.
“The generic name for the electronic device being used is a ‘stingray.’ The stingray acts like a cell phone tower that picks up the signal of all cell phones, laptops and tablets being used in the area. Once detected, the stingray helps law enforcement not only detect your location, but track all of your electronic phone calls and internet use, allowing them to monitor what you say and do” (Jolly). No matter where you are, like the beach, woods or somewhere in the city, the government can track your exact location and everything you do on your electrical device. All calls can and will be tapped in and recorded without your knowledge and permission. Although keeping people safe is a priority, some may find their private life to be invaded. No
As can be seen, from the information presented, the need for laws and restrictions concerning internet data collection is greatly needed. Moreover, the government can search private citizens data without warrant or cause. Also, companies are not only collecting internet user data but also selling it. The companies and agencies who commit such crimes should be fined or either closed down. In closing, the privacy and security of individuals on the internet should be upheld by the United States government.
Finally, monitor, monitor, monitor!! Do not just turn your network on and assume it will always stay the same. Check and sniff your own network for APs you don't know about. Be aware of your physical environment. Look for any unfamiliar cars in the parking lot with someone just sitting in them? They might be trying to break into your house!
In today's society, many aspects of crime committed on a regular basis. Civilians take advantage of people all the time using online resources such as a fraudulent website requiring credit card information to get a free monthly trial. Other examples of cyber crimes are online chatting website, full of predators or websites needing a downloadable program that contains a hacking virus. Sadly, there are many cases of cyber crime all over the internet. The acts of cyber crimes are considered violent acts like any other. Every day citizens are constantly losing money and being victimized due to these fraudulent activities. Cyber crime, including fraud, identity theft, stalking, and hacking, is a growing problem which can be prevented by taking the proper precautions.
This paper is going to discuss wireless security from a broad view where I will go into why wireless security is so important, especially today as the ways in which we communicate is changing dramatically. From there I will discuss the multiple wireless security options that are available to give a better understanding of the options given. Then I will go into why exactly not protecting your wireless can be so dangerous with some descriptions on the most dangerous wireless attacks out there today. Finally, I will then discuss how we can better prepare for these types of attacks with a synopsis on several effective security methods that will help to ensure data is securely passed and kept hidden. Wireless is everywhere today whether at home working from your WIFI network to work where you might be linked to a wireless network or even through your phone through a 3G or 4G network to connect to an open wireless network.
Introduction: This is a 21th century, technology is the most important and improved thing of the human life. It makes life easier and faster. Development of faster sophisticated technology we have better and fast life. So all we are connect each other by computer network. There are two different way of network: Wired and wireless. Now day we can found network almost everywhere. Home, business, public place, Airport, Planes, hospitals, school, train everywhere we can found networking. Therefore, almost every sector of the economy that has affected by wired and wireless technology. Wired network and wireless protect both has security, But in general wireless network is less secure than wired networks. For proper security AP (access point) and its antenna should be right position. Also add a wireless access point or use a wireless router we can connect to network wirelessly. AS we using more and more of devices (smart phones, tablet and computers) rely on wireless networking, we have to improve our network security too.
Cybercrime and social media are two major global problems that impact society. Today, are more accessible to computers and the Internet than in years prior. Nonetheless, perpetrators attack social media with illegal activity to facilitate their crime. There are different strategies or practices by various countries to combat cybercrime. However, identity theft, cyberbullying and phishing are three major type of cybercrimes which are impacting social networking websites.
The internet offers high speed connectivity between countries, which allows criminals to commit cybercrimes from anywhere in the world. Due to the demand for the internet to be fast, networks are designed for maximum speed, rather than to be secure or track users (“Interpol” par. 1). This lack of security enables hacker...
