INTRODUCTION
I. As the use of Internet is
increasing day by day,
traditional concepts and
methods of terrorism have
taken new dimensions.
II. Individuals or groups can use
the anonymity afforded
by cyberspace to threaten
citizens, specific groups (i.e.
with membership based on
ethnicity or belief),
communities and even the
countries.
WHAT IS CYBER-TERRORISM ????
I. The politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause
severe disruption or widespread fear.
II. It is a phrase used to describe the use of Internet based attacks in terrorist
activities, including acts of deliberate, large-scale disruption of computer
networks, especially of personal computers attached to the Internet, by the
means of tools such as computer viruses.
FEATURE OF CYBER-TERRORISM
 Difficulty Identifying Attackers: It remains difficult to determine the identity of the initiators of
most cyber attacks.
 Lack of Boundaries: Attacks can originate from anywhere in the world and from multiple
locations simultaneously.
 Speed of Development: The time between the discovery of a new vulnerability and the
emergence of a new tool or technique that exploits the vulnerability is getting shorter
 Low Cost of Tools: The technology employed in attacks is simple to use, inexpensive, and widely
available.
 Automated Methods: The methods of attack have become automated and more sophisticated,
resulting in greater damage from a single attack.
Examples of Cyber terrorism
 Hacking into computer systems.
 Introducing viruses to vulnerable networks.
 Website Defacing.
 Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks.
 Terroristic threats made via e-mail.
How does Cyber Terrorism work?
 Hacking : To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without
authorization.
 Misinformation: To provide with incorrect information.
 Virus: A computer program that duplicates itself in a manner that is
harmful to normal computer use. Most viruses work by attaching
themselves to another program. The amount of damage varies; viruses
may erase all data or do nothing but reproduce themselves.
 Worm: A malicious program that replicates itself until it fills all of the
storage space on a drive or network.
3 most common attack methods
I. IP Spoofing
II. Password Cracking
III. Denial-Of-Service attack
IP SPOOFING
 Refers to creation of IP packets with forged
source IP address with the purpose of concealing
the identity of sender.
 Mostly used in Denial-of-Service attacks.
 Most effective in corporate networks where users
can log in without a username or password.
PASSWORD CRACKING
I. Password cracking can be
implemented using brute-force
attacks, Trojan horse programs
and IP spoofing.
II. Password attacks usually refer to
repeated attempts to identify a
user account and/or password;
these repeated attempts are
called brute-force attacks.
III. One example is weak
encryption(LM hash) used by
Microsoft windows XP, can
easily be attacked
DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK
I. Denial-of-service attacks
focus on making a service
unavailable to intended
users.
II. 2 forms of DoS attacks:
those that crash services
and those that flood
services.
III. One common attack
method involves saturating
the target machine with
communications requests
such that it cannot respond
to the traffic.
Black Out Day
 It was first cyber war at “New York” city on 14th,August,2003
 Real incidents that horribly suffered New York for 3 days
 The hacker attacks on power lines
 Before 3 days some one some where realize the virus named as “ BLASTER”
 And it a self active
 100 power plants are shut down
 By the incident effects on whole traffic ,air line power ,water system & nuclear reactor too
 New York government struggled 3 months to find the accused
 That was Russian government is totally responsibility to this act
CYBER TERRORISM IN INDIA
 ECIL(Electronic Corporation of India Limited) which was invented electro voting system in
India , controlling parliament security system , Nuclear plants ,Defense etc.
 ECIL CYBER website was hacked by Phrozenmyst
 Not only ECIL and also ISRO ,BARC
 The hacker Phrozenmyst was stolen sensitive data from ECIL and pasted on PAGEBIN website
 Due to they are making some illegal tenders and he tweet on his tweeter account
 From 2010 to Pakistan and china attacking the India by cyber
 Recently Pakistan is made a successfully attack on India by an fake currency at elections time
Cyber terrorism against traditional terrorism
In the future, cyber terrorism may become a feasible option to traditional physical acts
of violence due to:
a. Perceived anonymity.
b. Low risk of detection.
c. Low investment.
d. Operate from nearly any location.
e. Few resources are needed
How does Cyber Terrorism affect you and
your future?
 Air traffic control towers or our airlines infrastructure could be hacked into.
 Banking systems could be violated and all of our money could be stolen.
 Bombs and other explosives could be set off by remote.
 Hospitals could lose all of their information.
 Learn Government secrets and plans
 The tampering of our water systems.
What do we need to do??
 Maintain high alert & vigilance.
 Update OS and applications regularly.
 Enforce strong passwords.
 “Lock down" systems.
 Keep anti-virus software installed and up-to-date.
 Employ intrusion detection systems and firewalls.
Prevention & Protection:
 Be cautious about opening email attachments.
 Complete Software Updates
 Create difficult passwords
 Download anti-virus software
 Uninstall unused applications or services
CONCLUSION:
 Cyber terrorism is a scary concept for many reasons.
 It can do possible serious damages to various aspects of our lives. It is even scarier that
cyber terrorism is so difficult to catch and track and prosecute.
 The information age has brought us many good things, but along with those good things
came some bad things too.
 All we can do as citizens is to protect ourselves by protecting our information, who we
give it to and how much we give it out.
 Our government is trying to do its part, so let’s support them and their efforts and stop
this cyber battle.
