Introduction
 1.Computer as Target

2.Computer as an instrumentality

3.Computer as an incidental or other crime

4.Crime associated with the prevalence of

computers.

CLASSIFICATION OF CYBERCRIME
  Physical damage

 Theft or destruction of information (data).

 The spread of viruses , Trojans and worms .

 Software piracy, hacking etc.

COMPUTER AS A TARGET OF A CRIME

 Crimes were either computers or their
contents bare used in furtherance of crime

Thoseoffences which are committed by

manipulating contents of computer systems.

Include sending e-mails, ransom notes ,

credit card frauds, telecommunication frauds
or theft.

Computer as an instrumentality.
 With the advent of computer the criminal
have started using the technology as an
aid for its perpetuation.

They include use of computers as an aid

for drug trafficking, money laundering, etc

Means of coordinating .

Computer as Incidental
 Copyright violation
◦ Sharing of copyright material – Torrents

 Financial
crimes -cheating, credit card frauds, money laundering
Forgery etc.

Types of cyber crime

 Sending huge volumes of e-mail

To an address or server in an attempt to overflow

the mailbox or overwhelm the server

Zip Bombing

Methods of email bombing

 Mass Mailing
Link Listing

Email Bombing
 Denial of Service - works by flooding the access
routers with bogus traffic.

Distributed DoSs (DDoS5) : coordinated DoS

attacks from multiple sources.

Difficult
to block because it uses multiple,
changing, source IP addresses.

Denial of Service
Changing of data before or during entry into the
computer system

Forging or counterfeiting documents used for data

entry

Exchanging valid disks and tapes with modified

replacements.

Prevention:
◦ Regular Audits
◦ Supervising employees

Data Diddling
 A series of minor attacks that together results in a larger
attack

Used for financial crimes in which criminals steal money or

resources a bit at a time from a system

Prevention:
◦ Find indications of an attack
◦ Random audits
◦ Don't ignore what appear to be errors in computer-based financial
systems.

Salami Attack
 The sender address and other parts of the e-mail
header are altered .

From, Return-Path and Reply-To fields

Although the e-mail appears to come from the address

indicated in the From field it actually comes from
another source.

Prevention
 Antivirus
 Use cryptographic signatures

E-mail Spoofing
Is a piece of code intentionally inserted
into a software system

That will set off a malicious function when

specified conditions are met

Prevention:
◦ Monitoring system
◦ Application logs are the keys to identifying
unwarranted activity

Logic Bomb
Unauthorizedremote computer break-ins via a
communication networks such as the Internet

Categories of hackers
◦ White hat or Ethical Hacker
◦ Grey hat
◦ Blue hat
◦ Black hat
◦ Elite
◦ Script kiddie

 Passwords
◦ Change passwords on a regular basis
◦ Use complex passwords

 Do not automatically check boxes before reading the contents of any

agreement etc

What can I do?

 Avoiding use of Unauthorized software
