I am CAT... they are COPYCAT

T he whole Hackers community knows that there is only one Cat and she is most loved and hated by everyone around. I understand the sentiments of hackers that’s why never take things to heart. Now since I started Hacker5 and our cyber security company hackers have become an integral part of my life. This article is just to read and enjoy but not to attack any DP or profile please don’t misunderstand me again. There is one common factor in our Hindi film industry and Face book community of hackers, and that is copying names or making profiles with all famous names. Code Breaker known name in hacking, now if you see there are many such root code, code cracker, code this code that. Same goes with bolly- wood also, one Nagin movie got famous; there after hundreds of Nagins were out to release. Cheetah, tiger, lion, dog all in multiple numbers, every third profile is Hexor and sometimes sequels. Like my bro Chota hacker, he has five Chota Hacker accounts with white cap, red cap, black cap, then no cap, and so on.

When I wanted to choose my handle, as so many times I wrote on blog some rat techie use to bother me and that’s how I got Cat techie name to tease him. Since this cat entered hackers’ world, there was no other cat, it’s only me. This cat was loved, abused, humiliated, attacked, understood misunderstood and messed. Whenever Cat was addressed that was none other than me, but now I feel relaxed. Look at face book community there is one Cat Hacker recentely born, till yesterday it was holding mouse in mouth, today his DP is indicating as if he had loose motions and suffering with malaria. Blue cat, cat rose, revenge cat, wild cat….oh ho ho there are so many cats around. It becomes difficult to understand who is addressing which cat? Today my little friend Kai farmer surprised me when I saw his DP, it was cat not Kai the hat wala. There are hundreds of ‘roots’ hackers, haxors, coders, angles, and now cats too.
One hilarious thing I would like to share here, we created a group called NBC Parivar, initially joined everyone to the group, some fake profiles as usual made entries of some more fakes. Their job is to abuse cat on NBC wall, and create big drama. Some Kissle, some Mahit, some unique news some bunny baghelas, some ICA some in the shell, all groups have common agenda. I am immune to it, but these poor profiles uses to express their grief and we use to through that bugger out of group. He used to make come back with his fake again entry with new dialogs, new dictionary of slangs. I used to be surprised how they can come in like this, finally started doubting intentions of Face Book admin. Later realized the saga of fakes in group, these profiles was assigned agents of this extremists and NBC wall was outlet to their hidden emotions. The whole episode was like comedy circus, though most of them are not of presentable quality; just pure rubbish. Some use innocent four- five years baby’s face as DP and talk like 40 yrs old brat and abuse randomly on wall. I feel pity for those innocent kids.

This is how their journey of shameful imitation of anything thus begins in the morning. Nowadays, they use all group walls to puke their anger and voice their anger. They just crawl one wall to another, one group to another and if not tired then they land in each ones private message. Some of them they literally translate the Hindi slang to English. This is the present day scenario. This way if they want they can produce a fakes even in a fortnight. They have lost their originality. I wonder how these people get so much time in doing all this. Are they really sensible enough citizens of our country?

Till today only profile names were copied but now group names are also copied and registered. A time will come where you will be compelled to say vaidehi cat said so and so to, so and so cat hacker..

If this continues …I am sure, you will crave for more!

HELLO HACKERS... IS THIS PRIDE TO NATION?

I ndia Unknowingly getting involved in Cyber war? Last week DDOS attack were carried out on- many Websites of TUNISIA and ZIMBABWE government. Many attackers were involved from India and other countries too. Loads of traffic was flooding from India - on many of the Egyptian government sites ( as per Internet storm center audit).

THE QUESTION IS INDIAN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE AWARE OF IT?

Any prevention system is maintained from our ISP end? Hackers around the globe are bombarding official websites in Egypt with a DDOS ATTACK, by the use of tools like Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) and bot sites - may make it easy to use your PC for a denial-of-service attack. Were as many users were visiting DDOS bot site.. And it was triggering an attack from there system to government sites of Egypt where as the same traffic flood was redirected to government network of United States. This message is to inform 'Users' in India not to involve or visit any sites which will trigger a Dos Attack. We request ISP's to monitor the (BOT) sites and traffic flowing from India.

Now the question is that, who are those Indian Hackers involved in this attack? Can Indian Government reach to them? Why these Hackers took part in attacking Egypt?

Don’t you think by doing this, we are indirectly dragging our country in cyber war? “Once DDOS is launched no one can stop" Read in detail how hackers bring online trouble to our country with their unwanted involvements and activities in “ Cat techie” .

“Hackers can be a boon to our nation”

In an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Gaurav Singh (Rascal)one of the board of directors, shares his thoughts on cyber security and speaks about the upcoming firm called Kaizen.

What is Kaizen and what does this name mean?

Kaizen is a upcoming Information Security Company, which we are going to start with like minded people who are dedicated and passionate and having a vast amount of experience in the Info-Sec domain, and who understands the importance and necessity of Info-Sec in the present world scenario.
Kaizen is actually a Japanese word, Kaizen is a philosophy or you can say its a practice that focus upon continuous improvement of processes in manufacturing, engineering, supporting business process, and management. It has been applied in a lot of fields from healthcare to physiotherapy, from life-coaching to banking and government and many other industries.
"Kaizen" when used in business sense and applied to the workplace, it refers to activities that continually improve all functions, and involves all employees from CEO to the assembly line workers. By improving standardised activities and processes, Kaizen aims to eliminate waste.

What is the purpose behind starting this company?

We are very disappointed by looking at the way many Info-Sec consulting companies are providing services and solutions to Corporate, government organizations and various other small - big organizations. Most of the time the people are not at all aware of the actual security threats and mind sets of cyber criminals who are dedicated to break in to your system and networks.
We have a very dedicated and highly experienced team and we have many ideas and proposals to offer which none of the security companies are offering. We are going to give the best solution and security practice.
Another most important reason behind starting up this company is providing every possible help to our government agencies and bureaus to fight against these cyber criminals and highly sophisticated cyber terrorists who are a big threat to the security of our country.

What is the biggest setback in cyber security agencies?

This is a very sensitive question and I don’t want to make any comment which may not be appropriate. But in short all I can say is that we are lacking with skilled and experienced security professionals in the agencies. Most of the so called ethical hackers who are working with these agencies are neither good nor they have any real experience about these underground hackers. I don’t blame agencies for taking the services from so called ethical hackers as they have no other choice and don’t understand the real danger we are facing from the present day hackers who are very well organised and fully backed up by the government of their countries.

VAIDEHI SACHIN GETS AWARD for HACKER5

Author of book “Cyber Terror”, Vaidehi Sachin was awarded the Best editor, Hacker5 at the Hira Manek awards by Chief Justice ,which was successfully organised on Feb 5, 2011 at Birla Matoshree Auditorium. Thanking for the award she spoke about the global threat and the wage of third world war that would have no bloodshed, no arms or weapon, but will give a major jolt to our nation.

Highlighting more on the issue, she said, “The complete war would be virtual, which would take India 15 years back from now since sixty percent of our infrastructure is online based and a war would mean nothing but destruction and devastation. And, it will take ages to recover.”
There has been a tremendous growth in the cyber arena and hence we saw websites of several countries hacked by hackers of their counterpart. With the recent CBI website hack of India along with many other websites, also the latest wikileaks have given the indication of a waging war. Adding further she said, “Everyday thousands of government websites are been scanned by hackers and always hunt for weaker sites. Unfortunately, despite warning the concerned officials about the threats and loopholes in website, the authorities never paid attention nor took initiative to fix the issues resulting hacking of website like of CBI. The government should take this matter seriously and understand the danger it pose to the nation.”

She also said that the Government should secure the cyber space by uniting or utilizing the skills of the hackers of our country. Vaidehi Sachin has initiated a Cyber security firm ‘kaizen’ which is looked after by a well known hacker Gaurav singh (rascal). She along with her young team of hackers is giving cyber security to main streams like stock exchange, power, judiciary and defence. According to them, they want to set a new trend by saying no to the monotonous way of commercializing security agencies.

As predicted by the NASSCOM, unfortunately there are no courses relating to hacking or cyber security in India which are authentic or government approved. Although people who have commercialized it and hit the headline by making huge commercial success, they are unable to fulfil the basic needs of security.

Concluding the speech, Vaidehi said, “It is very saddening that hackers are always seen as criminals in our country they rarely get awarded or rewarded due to the lack of social acceptance and taboo. But, it is not the truth. Hackers are highly skilled and can be very useful for the nation. Their efforts should be appreciated. I thank Hira Manek and its founder Mr. Hardik Hundiya for appreciating the rarer side of the society.”
