"Every age has its own kind of war, its own limiting conditions and its own peculiar

preconceptions"

1. Cyber Espionage – Threat of the twentieth Century

“Different countries counter intelligence agents caught terror countries agent Spy mailing
sensitive documents”

Cyber Spying – The number one threat for 2008 with 120 countries engaged in Cyber
espionage. Over the past years, the increasing popularity and accessibility of the Internet has
caused a dramatic shift in the way people share information. Today, Internet, e-mail, instant
messaging and IP Telephony have put a whole new world of communication at our fingertips.

However, with the Internet fast becoming a breeding ground for criminal activity these
ingenious and sophisticated technologies are often used to promote crime, violence and terror,
which compromise the values of human society. With coordinated attacks becoming a menace
plaguing the whole world, the increasing use of internet and mobile phones for communication

purposes is giving sleepless nights to security agencies with agencies all across the world trying
to develop the next generation Computer Surveillance programs to address asymmetric
threats, described as the most serious threat to national security.

99% Secure is a unique innovative methodology to come out of nimblespy Information Security
wing. 99% Secure is a complete and comprehensive solution to fight Cyber terrorism.

This latest technology combines and innovates on the latest security trends all across the world,

thereby providing a comprehensive Cyber Surveillance cover against all external and internal
threats.

2. The Problem

“Technology - dependable, Human Psychology – Undependable”

Cyber crime scenes are without traditional boundaries. Since the evidence necessary to
prosecute these crimes crosses jurisdictional borders many nations have sought to establish
policies that would afford digital evidence access to law enforcement. However, the
implementations of these policies depend upon humans rather than technology. As a result, a
lot of policies are bypassed keeping personal convenience in mind.

In recent times, terrorists and other unwanted elements of society have made use of remote
Cyber Café and unsecured wireless networks to coordinate and plan their attacks. With the ad
hoc growth of Cyber Café across the country, the majority of owners are not even aware of how
their Cyber café may be being used by individuals to plan their next attack. Worst!, some of
them may be in cahoots with them.

“Innocent Human factor” - Even with the latest law passed by the Government to collect
identification documents for individuals using the Cyber Café, the act is yet to be implemented
across all the Cyber Cafes throughout the country. The reasons vary from overhead costs to the
process being cumbersome and time consuming. Whatever the excuse, it gives the individuals
reasons to circumvent around the process. As a result, we are unable to identify the individuals
even after we have received the transcripts of the mail.

“The Voip threat” – With the unimaginable amount of data being sent across the Internet, it
has become impossible to manually inspect all the packets to find suspicious mails/chat
conversations. The tech savvy internet terrorist has fast moved on to using multiple E-Mail ID’s,
Voip connections like Skype and yahoo and msn messenger to coordinate his plans. To prevent

Cyber Café Surveillance

such threats, law enforcers and security authorities must keep well in advance of the
technology curve and use the latest interception technologies to capture and monitor data so
as to stop these nefarious plans midway.

“Propaganda and Data theft” – Communications are becoming easier every day, a huge
amount of encrypted information is daily being sent across the Internet. The information may
be of confidential nature or just propaganda being used to gather more followers for a cause.
This data is not kept a track of and no analysis is made on “who is sending the data to whom”.
With the advent of technology in the world of terrorism, stealing and sending confidential
information has become far more safer.

3. Recent Case studies

In 2006, ******** navy officer was caught with confidential data in his USB drive. The advent
of technology has made it far more easier to steal and pass on confidential data With various
terrorist activities on the rise, Internet has become a favorite tool to not only coordinate plans
but also mock the country by claiming the responsibility of these attacks behind the safety of
the Internet.

The mails claiming responsibility for these terror attacks was sent as soon as the blasts took
place. It is suspected, yet not proven, in what way these terrorists may have used the Internet
to carry out their plans.

Enables listening in on VoIP calls in real time – with only a 3‐5 seconds’ delay!

Pre-empting a crime scenario by predicting future criminal actions, such as the arrival of
trafficked people or money transfers between offenders, highlighting correlations and
anomalies hidden deep within the data. Identifying a terrorist network by finding further links
and people in a group.

4.1 Module 1 – Two level authentication – Mapping identification to mobile number

One of the major flaws in the current security architecture is the use of unmonitored Cyber café
and public domain wireless networks. These cyber café are regularly used by terrorist,
espionage agents to send data, confidential information, receive instructions and coordinate
plans which hamper the national security of the country.

Even with laws passed to take down the details of an individual using the Cyber café, the very
nature of this process has dependency upon the human factor which cannot be relied upon
fully. 99% Secure ensures a two level authentication system where the IP usage is mapped to
the mobile number of the user.

4.1.1 The process

* Mobile Number

Mob. No. +91 9215019797 -- www.nimblespy.co.cc-- nimblespylab@gmail.com Page 7

Cyber Café Surveillance

* Time & Date of the system

* IP Address of the system

* MAC address of the system

* Approximate location of the user

* A Counter

* Random access code Access to the world

wide web via the

code

All Cyber Cafes and public wireless networks such as airports etc would have a filter The user
would not be able to access the Internet directly To access the net, the user would have to
enter his mobile number on the browser screen

Mob. No. +91 9215019797 -- www.nimblespy.co.cc-- nimblespylab@gmail.com Page 8

Cyber Café Surveillance

The mobile number of the user would be sent with the following information -

O Time & Date of the system

O IP Address of the system

O MAC address of the system

O Approximate location of the user

O A Counter

An algorithm would randomly generate a code with all the above parameters The code would
be fed into the database The code would also be sent to the mobile number of the user via SMS

The user would be able to access the Internet with the above password. However, since the
password has been generated using the Mac ID and IP address of the user, the user would only
be able to access the Internet from the Computer in which he has fed the mobile number.

4.1.2 Features

Setting a two level authentication mechanism where the IP usage has been mapped to the
mobile number of the user. In case of suspect activities, the mobile number can be traced back
to the user In case the user does not have a mobile number, he could use the mobile number of
the Cyber Café owner in which Case, the cyber café owner would be forced to collect the
identity of the user.

4.2 Module 2 – Data Packets filtering and interception

The increasingly systematic recourse to new network technologies has changed the Internet
landscape and stealth communication, propaganda and coordination of various plans has
become extremely convenient and easy. These ingenious and sophisticated technologies have
often been used to promote crime, violence and terror, which compromise the values of human
society.

4.3 Module 3 – Pattern Analysis and linking for structured and unstructured data

Mob. No. +91 9215019797 -- www.nimblespy.co.cc-- nimblespylab@gmail.com Page 11

Cyber Café Surveillance

The module is would provide powerful visual investigative analysis tools for extracting and
analyzing data from both structured and unstructured data. This includes –

.xls

webmails

.txt

.doc

.pdf

Investigations typically involve vast amounts of raw, multi-formatted data gathered from a wide
variety of sources. Somewhere in this data lies the key to investigation but it can remain
obscured by the volume and apparent randomness of individual facts.

99% Secure provides powerful visualization -- which enables analysts and investigators to
visualize large volumes of disparate data and turn it into meaningful information, revealing a
clear picture of what your data is telling you.

Easy to understand -- The simplicity of the charts created will enable anyone to understand
even the most complex of investigations, making this a valuable tool for use in presentations
and briefings to any audience.

Reveal further connections -- You can manually build charts as information becomes available
or you can populate charts automatically from existing information sources. Using Analyst’s
Notebook you can automatically generate charts from structured data such as phone and
financial records. Charts can be combined with other charts and information sources to reveal
further connections.

Extract maximum intelligence from your data -- The advanced analysis tools help you to
analyze your investigation from a high level overview right down to the smallest detail. You can
find association paths; identify central clusters of communication, find matching items, or
construct visual searches for your investigation. A range of different chart layout enables you to
see facts, events and associations from different perspectives
