CSI CYBER - HACKERS VS CRACKERS

Hai Everyone, Assalamualaikum,

I like to watch TV series that related with mystery, investigation , psychopath and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) . The favorite series is Special Victim Unit (SVU), CSI Miami, Criminal Minds and now the latest is the CSI Cyber. All of these movie are related , where most of it using psychological behavioral, investigation using science's evidence and also the most important with the help of advance technologies such as DNA, Science Forensic, AFIS (Magnetic Fingerprinting and automated Fingerprint Identification and many more. Apart from the strategy, skill and action taken by the agent , i more interest towards their IT Agent who control the Data and Resource in the Lab.They are fast and the technologies use are advanced. For example, when they have found name of criminal , automatic the IT agent will locate the history and location of the criminal. It really awesome..

The improvement of technologies (ICT) also have improve the numbers of White Collar Crime. 

Last week my lecturer Dr Norzaidi explain the definition of Hackers and Crackers and its different.

Alright, to be clear the Hackers are thos who only intent to test their skill and knowledge by penetrate  the system and usually to focus on security penetration and to deep know the IT System of their interest, In short they are like stalker, penetrate into firewall and just go through. Doing nothing. However in term of Crackers, it more unethical, where it not only hack yet it steal the information or ruin/harm the system.

CSI CYBER SERIES

 For example, in the CSI Cyber I have watched last week, it shown that a 13 years old boy name Jake have successfully penetrated and hacked into US Government private information.

 So CSI Cyber -FBI Deputy Director  Avery Ryan have form strategy to catch this boy. However , this kid action is only to show his expertise and skill thus plan to show to FBI with the guidance of a man where he took some top secret employee information of US Government and want to show FBI that their system is not secure enough and vulnerable to other potential hackers that will become crackers by selling it to enemy. So that he will known as genius and expected to get better opportunities in the line of ICT.

 For me this kid is a genius and wanted to prove itself , however once he went to meet a man from the IT private group forum,that would want to help him, the other friend have other plan and want that information to be sold at higher price to Russian government and this kid denied and in danger. With the help of CSI Cyber team, they able to track this boy and save him from that crazy man. This TV Series is really interesting and it eventually improve my knowledge and interest in investigation,ICT and human behavior.

Awesome Agent

Genius agent

So  i suggest who have time to watch CSI-Cyber, it really entertaining, sharpen your knowledge on IT and many more. 

Cheers
