Common methods in Cyber Attacks
Tools of Cyber Terrorism Cyber terrorists use certain tools and methods to unleash this new age terrorism. These are:
|
Cyber Surakshit Bharat
Cyber Surakshit Bharat is a first of a kind public-partnership where it will leverage the expertise of the IT industry in cyber security. Cyber Surakshit Bharat will be led by MeitY and supported by NeGD, and a consortium of private players including Microsoft, WIPRO, Redhat, Dimension Data and Deloitte.
Central Monitoring System (CMS)
The CMS is the country’s ace surveillance project which aims to create a system that provides central and direct access to information without any intervention by third parties.
Although much information does not exist about the program, the government apparently has been running trials in gradual phases. Going by the available information, the Indian government may have been successful in creating India’s version of PRISM program run by the NSA.
DRDO NETRA
Developed by the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), NETRA is a native system developed by Indian scientists and other staff.
National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID)
In view of the increasing number of terrorist activities in the country, NATGRID was proposed just after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
Lawful Interception and Monitoring Project (LIM)
The LIM works in a similar way to NETRA. It is a program for surveillance of Internet traffic in India, allowing the monitoring of all traffic (text and audio) passing through ISPs.
