Cyber Crime Investigation Cell
by Vicky 04 Jan '02

04 Jan '02

I've worked with the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell for more than a year now. I have helped them with tons and tons of cases of all kind;s from Child pornography and hacker to stalkers etc. I dont think people on this list should keep bashing the CCIC the police working with it have gone a long way to learn a lot about computer forensics. They had also been taught a lot from FBI who provided tons of material. The experts (except Flynn Baba) who work with the CCIC help the police with the technical part of the investigation apart from us atleast 3 computer security companies help the cyber crime cell at all times. Ok maybe the infrastructure the cops have is sad but thye work very hard and even stay late nights to catch people on IRC etc, You cant expect them to be computer experts they are cops and they handle the crime part of the investiagtion and are very good at doing what cops do. Also yes they do have linux running at the Cyber crime cell. On a dual boot machine and yes it is used (not by flynn baba, will make him a Eunuch: Ref: Philips Secnet review) . Also the website of the cyber crime cell is run free of cost by Net4India hosted and developed by them so if its computer security your worried about talk to net4india. When a Indian hacker hacked the site last time the cops had him in less than a week. Now comming to Flynn I know him for the last year and he is the WORST computer security expert I have ever meet if thats what you want to call him. I know for sure that he has NEVER ever written a book on computer seucirty he was a writter in StarDust. The Company he has formed as your google search found has shut down. To be truthful I find it insulting to even work with him. A security computer to him is one which has its Internet Cache deleted. I dont want to carry on with the flynn bashing even though I am beginning to enjoy it :) Just dont judge a cyber crime investiagtion cell by its Flynn :) If you ever are in any trouble or a cyber crime has been committed against you please go down to the CCCIC office at Commissioners Office opp Crawford Market. 1st floor of the building right in front of the main gate. Senior Inspector IM Zahid is the officer incharge btw, Some of the cops working there an API I think even went outof his was to train at NCST the comp security module I think. Give them some time :) regards Vicky

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Search in a file
by Mayur Joshi 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

>\root\sandeep\log111.txt >This files has a lot of text and one particulr line is ..... >##Date 24-07-2001 > >Now >1. I need to locate the line "##Date" in the above file >2. I then need to store the date value "24-07.2001" in a variable. Which language you are using? I assume Perl, because this is much simpler in Perl. 1. Open the file for reading. 2. Search for the above string by reading every line. $_ variable contains the current line. You can do this by using pattern searching operations in Perl. 3. Once you find the above line then split that line at spaces and collect the required date in a variable. Here is the code which I would prefer to write. open(RH,"</root/sandeep/log111.txt"); while(<RH>) { if($_ =~ /##Date/) { $flag = 1; } else { $flag = 0; } if($flag eq 1) { ($str1, $str2) = split(/ /, $_); $date = $str2; } } Hope this is very much clear.

Hi Guys, Just check out the timestamp of some later mails. It shows mm/dd/yy with yy=03....

[OT] - Winamp For Linux
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Hey Guys, For those Multimedia freaks, Check out Winamp3 beta 2 review. Also, they've designed the new API called WASABI, uniform for all the operating systems(currently works with Linux And Win32). This means, Winamp will now work with Linux as well.... Plus, whatever you develop for Winamp3 on Win32 using WASABI will work with very less or no modification on Linux as well. It's great..... ( that is what I think !!!) Hope to get your reviews as well... Kunal ------------------ "Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs." (By Dennis Ritchie)

[sec] scanning signs
by kishor bhagwat 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

hi! I'm attaching a file containing excerpts from my syslog. Wanted to generate some discussion regarding interpretation of the entries.... fyi, I'm behind a proxy server.I've got iptables running. you can look at the file first, and then read on.. my two cents.. this is a malicious attempt-not innocent at all!! hint:same destination and source ports... most certainly, the source IPs are spoofed, the attacker is within the LAN that i;m part of. hint:packet with a destination of all 255s... I've also got snort running on the same machine....it didnt generate any alerts... does anyone recognise any particular scanner's signature here? anyone know what particular exploit(s) this guy was looking for? inviting more inputs from u guys. regards, kishor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
