Join Indian Cyber Army | Hackers VS Cyber Weapon

Can Internet be Used as Weapon

To know HOW TO JOIN INDIAN CYBER ARMY? Read Below

Yesterday I was thinking about terrorism. The most dangerous weapon currently we have is in the form of chemical weapons, nuclear weapons or biological weapons. If any terrorist group get access to any of such weapon, he can destroy the complete infrastructure of a city, state OR even a country. So many controls & security measures has been taken by government so that all such weapons will be out of the reach from terrorists.

But we all are living in new era now. We all are part of a new world, directly or indirectly, which we might not aware of & that is INTERNET. Yes..It’s a virtual world which becomes necessity for everybody these days.

Currently we have no control on the cyber space. Anyone with a little knowledge of computers can enter into this virtual world and do such thing which no one can even imagine. On this virtual world, age doesn’t matter, whether you are 10 years kid or 70 year old, Internet is providing equal level of power to all. Only matter is how perfectly you are using it. Let me take a small live example. Suppose if I just Google the term - how to make a bomb all methods and video will be available. So any one can put few more efforts and innovation to make own BOMB.
This Google search is the simplest example. Here the major concern is WEAPON WITH MIND. Just think, till date all the available weapons we have has no mind. Such weapons cannot upgrade themselves with technology. As technology changes weapon changes. One day every weapon is replaced by some other better weapon. This is only because such weapons have no mind to think and no mechanism to upgrade. But now days, we have weapons OR better to say underground weapons which can use their MIND to upgrade their skill set as per latest technologies. All such Cyber Weapons are known as HACKERS. YES HACKERS can be used as CYBER WEAPONS and all such cyber weapons will play the major role during the next world war.

Everyone including military leaders has realized that most of the next world war will be fought on the cyber space and only those will win, who have the best experts knows as HACEKSR or as I termed then as CYBER WEAPON. This Cyber War will be the most destructive war & can destroy the infrastructure of any country in less than a minute. The latest example is STUXNET. Stuxnet was the targeted cyber attack aimed at destroying an industrial process in the physical world & it was invented specifically to target part of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure.

In India, still we are lacking in this front and no have come forwarded to raise his voice against this issue. Is this lack of government attention OR lack of military leaders?

For a moment if I consider that government & military leaders have no more idea in this cyber field, but what about our ETHICAL HACKERS of India? Have they ever thought about this issue or not? Whether it’s a CEH institute or an individual one, almost everyone is doing the same thing that is WORKSHOPS, WORKSHOPS & MORE WORKSHOPS. Till date I have not seen any of the ETHICAL HACKER, who has raised his voice for country.

HACKING is an ART. HACKING MEANS INNOVATION. Somewhere this ART has been replaced by few outdated tips & tricks. Just think why the term HACK creates so much hype in young generation. It’s only because they have no proper and valid resource to learn this. HACKING is also a subject just like MATHS, ENGLISH, ELECTRONICS & MECHNICAL.

It’s my appeal to government authorities that include HACKING as a subject in the course of students.

If we make valid the subject HACKING in school & colleges in a well formatted course, it would be the revolutionary step in the field of cyber security in India. Here most of the guys can ask me that there are so many institutes running hacking classes. Well no doubt, I am saying that include CYBER ETHICS & CYBER Security as a subject in the school, so that from the grass root, students can learn about cyber respect and behave well online. Once they enter into college, we can make ETHICAL HACKING subject as an optional subject. Let me take an example of BTECH & engineering students. There are so many subjects which are optional, from which students have to choose according to their interest. In the similar way we can also offer ETHICAL HACKING as an optional subject so that interested students can choose this field as a career.

Few days back while surfing Internet, I found a similar term know as "Information Weapon". Professionals has started thinking about this Information Weapon OR Cyber Weapon & I doubt that In India any one from government higher authorities OR military leaders taking this issue seriously. No one is realizing this truth that misuse of cyber can turn into serious issue any time. The major part of any country’s Infrastructure will directly be affected due to cyber attack including financial systems & Telecommunication systems.

A simple hacking of Vijay Mallya becomes national news. Just think that how website defacement attracts everyone. Well let me clear one point here that such website defacements are not CYBER WAR. It’s only the EGO war between technical guys of two countries. Just imagine how such script kiddies attract everyone. Now just think that what would be the impact when actual cyber war starts. The truth is all those guys are not real hackers. They all are script kiddies. In hacking world they all are knows as N00Bs. I am saying only because website defacement is not required any specialized skill or new development. If you know little bit of SQL injection then you can bypass the authentication and get the access to ADMIN panel of the website. After that you have to upload the SHELL and boooom…. All done..just few clicks on you uploaded shell and website defaced. If you are little technical and have little more in depth knowledge, you can do server rooting in which you will get the root access to the server. Once the server get rooted, you have all the websites in your hands hosting on that particular server. So this is what exactly hackers are doing. In this the most important thing is SHELL. And the REAL hacker is the person who has developed that SHELL. Few freely available shells are C99 shell, C100 shell, ex0shell, GNY shell, rootshell, megabros, cpanel & R57 shell.

In my personal opinion, the real hacker is one who can develop his own SHELL and can create his own exploits. Using existing exploits & others developer’s shells, any TOM, DICK & HARRY can use it and can claim himself as a HACKER, which is not true.

For cyber peace in India I am happy to be part of a revolution in Indian Cyber History. A new young army for Cyber security of our country INDIA.....INDIAN CYBER ARMY. This army will not hack or crack any country's server, but secure the Indian cyber Infrastructure & protect the Indian cyber space from any cyber attack. Will you join this Cyber Army & wanna be part of it ?? Come & Join Guys.

HOW TO JOIN INDIAN CYBER ARMY?

Well on internet you will see a lot of so called cyber armies claiming to be cyber army of India. Asking you for paid seminars & bah blah blah.....

Be-aware of any such group or army. The best is to enhance you knowledge in the field security. Try to learn security...not HACKING. You will be fooled by name of hacking. Hacking & security are different sides of same coin. Till date no hacking cert is well recognized in INDIA and there is no value in any organization. All such stuff is bullshit.

In my personal opinion, If you learn your self, share your knowledge & best if you are getting paid for it, CONGO..YOU ARE ONE OF FROM INDIAN CYBER ARMY. Here I am mentioning the certification which are very well recognized in world wide organization. All these certs are related to SECURITY and also help to get you placed in organizations.

  1. CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associates)
  2. After CCNA, you can go for CCSP (Cisco Certifies Security Professional) - Help you to get into network security
  3. If you are interested in LINUX, go for Red Hat Certified Security Specialist (RHCSS)
  4. The best is ISO 27001 lead auditor at you initial level. If you do this, you will be certified s a auditor for all security related audits includes in ISO 27001. It is a professional certification for auditors specializing in information security management systems.
At your initial stage, this is enough to get start in a correct direction. Still any query, feel free to ask.
