Is it true that only Certified can join the campaign??? What is the requirement to join this?
This campaign is against Cyber Terrorism for people who are anti Indian. There is no legal certification or formal qualification to join this cause .So whether you are a Black Hat, White Hat or Grey hat id doesn’t really matter .We want to unite all the hackers in the India under one roof for their benefit, and put their skills in right and approved manner.
We do not have certificate of Ethical Hacking. We learned it from books, online tutorials/videos & such sites. We are neither a part of any group or hacked any sites. We want to work for India as an Ethical Hacker if we get a chance & proper platform. Can we join??
You need not have Certification to join this cause. As long as you have the knack, skills and aptitude and above all since the passion to work for India is evident please join us and we will give you a platform to address everyone. This cause is to secure our country from cyber evils, and let us prove that we the indians are best at it.
Once we join this young cyber army, in future if Indian Gov. provides us a project to hack website or steal the data, will they give us protection???
Firstly, the Indian Government will never award you a project to hack any website or steal the data since it is against Indian Law.Under The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, Cyber-terrorism is punishable with life imprisonment. Cyber offences such as identity theft, cyber-stalking, cyber harassment, spoofing and hacking are the punishable offences under this section. The IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 was passed by both Houses of Parliament on December 23, 2008. It was notified after the assent of the President on February 5, 2009. without sabotaging others interest we can secure ourself and can providesecurity cover.
Who will take forward this cyber issue in front of Hon. President of India?
The platform which will unite all the hackers will serve to voice our opinion and will be noticed by the Government. So let’s hope for the best that Hon. President of India will initiate the process of some amendments to be made.
I am a Black hat and do not want to reveal my identity. How can I join?
There has to be some sort of Identity by which people can know you and you are recognized for your efforts for the development of the nation. The others in this community will surely applaud you for your efforts.
Will it be beneficial for my career prospects also? How?
As I had mentioned earlier also that our objective is to Unite Hackers of all types in order to make our country cyber protected. So you will surely get name and fame in your career even if you have contributed a drop in this ocean of Cyber Hacking. As far as government is concerned it is still unethical or illegal according to them even if you have India’s interest in mind.
Can I join this army officially after completing my college? I am very good in hacking and security?
There is nothing official or unofficial about this army, it’s the perspective which matters. The murderer has a knife in his hand as a weapon to kill his victim. Similarly the doctor also has a knife in his hand to save the life of a patient. So one takes away a human being’s life while the other saves the life . every skill has two different sides,and we need to make best choice. So if you are talented in hacking and security and want to channelise your skills and energies for India you are always welcome to join us.
"I request you all to support this campaign to unite all hackers of India under one roof to protect our country and make it cyber crime free. All hackers are not Criminals; they are the Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Let us make this country cyber protected with these young think tank, 73% hackers of India are in the age group of 12 to 19, they don’t have direction. 5% hackers are between the age group of 30 plus, and rest of the hackers working for some Indian companies or the IT brands and teaching hacking as security measures are called ethical hackers. But most of the hackers either in to this due to passion or due to compulsion of earning bread. So far the recorded data of hackers in crime is just 2%.
Let us unite these think tanks and spread awareness. This campaign is tuff but not difficult. We will approach Hon. President of India along with appeal and signatures through this campaign."Cyber crime is the latest threat to India's security with those inimical to its interests hiring experts to spy on companies and vital networks. There has been an increase of 200 per cent in cyber crime cases in India in the last three years and that is an alarming trend. The new tactics are more towards data theft like espionage on some other companies, working for some foreign intelligence agencies sitting in India, SMS and mobile call forging. At the age of 18, some of the hackers found loopholes like "Session Hijacking" & "Cross Site Scripting" in popular social networking websites. The biggest worry is that officials of Indian investigating agencies are not competent enough to deal with techno crimes. Investigating agencies are still lagging behind in terms of technologies or techniques to actually tackle cyber crimes. Not even two percent of the officials know what Voice is over Internet Protocol (VoIP), its use or how to take precautions. The hacking of mobile numbers and for making calls and sending SMS is another area of concern. Anyone can use or misuse a mobile number to send SMS or make a call. This technology was misused in the 26/11 bombings. But all the servers and the infrastructure required to commit this cyber crime is not available in India. "The Indian IT law is not defined to tackle such crimes using mobile phones and that is dangerous. Social networking sites are not at all safe and hackers exploit and misuse vital information from such sites for indulging in crime.
When we lack experts in our own government system, why not unite these India hackers? They are also patriots and care for this nation’s security as any other citizen of this country. Why not assign these young hackers for the internet security and make our country cyber terror free.
"This Blog is started with an intension to create difference in hacker’s life, unite them and utilise their skills in nation’s interest. Our country has best of potential united we can make our cyber world secured and protected from evil neighbors"
