Are you sure you’ve never been hacked | Sandeep Shukla | TEDxIITKanpur


all right so I didn’t know I was the

all right so I didn’t know I was the first speaker so anyway so I am talking

first speaker so anyway so I am talking

first speaker so anyway so I am talking about something that is supposed to

about something that is supposed to

about something that is supposed to scare you so I’m going to tell you a

scare you so I’m going to tell you a

scare you so I’m going to tell you a very scary not a doomsday scenario but

very scary not a doomsday scenario but

very scary not a doomsday scenario but close to that so so cybersecurity is

close to that so so cybersecurity is

close to that so so cybersecurity is something that I am passionate about and

something that I am passionate about and

something that I am passionate about and I want to tell you what is cybersecurity

I want to tell you what is cybersecurity

I want to tell you what is cybersecurity is all about what are the cyber threats

is all about what are the cyber threats

is all about what are the cyber threats and why we should care so it all started

and why we should care so it all started

and why we should care so it all started back in 1988 when a Stanford graduate

back in 1988 when a Stanford graduate

back in 1988 when a Stanford graduate student figured out that there is a way

student figured out that there is a way

student figured out that there is a way to exploit vulnerabilities in programs

to exploit vulnerabilities in programs

to exploit vulnerabilities in programs and this was the time when Windows was

and this was the time when Windows was

and this was the time when Windows was not all ubiquitous and therefore he

not all ubiquitous and therefore he

not all ubiquitous and therefore he exploited something called finger daemon

exploited something called finger daemon

exploited something called finger daemon in UNIX and that created the first known

in UNIX and that created the first known

in UNIX and that created the first known worm that very quickly spread it through

worm that very quickly spread it through

worm that very quickly spread it through the network fortunately the world was

the network fortunately the world was

the network fortunately the world was not that interconnected at that time so

not that interconnected at that time so

not that interconnected at that time so therefore it did not cause too much harm

therefore it did not cause too much harm

therefore it did not cause too much harm only in the academic community but it

only in the academic community but it

only in the academic community but it had a lot of fingerprints that are still

had a lot of fingerprints that are still

had a lot of fingerprints that are still there in cyberattacks

there in cyberattacks

there in cyberattacks so then 2001 so between 1998 and 2001 it

so then 2001 so between 1998 and 2001 it

so then 2001 so between 1998 and 2001 it was not that bad and then in 2001 there

was not that bad and then in 2001 there

was not that bad and then in 2001 there were subsequent storms like Code Red

were subsequent storms like Code Red

were subsequent storms like Code Red NIEM des and blasted worm they actually

NIEM des and blasted worm they actually

NIEM des and blasted worm they actually took the internet by storm by then we

took the internet by storm by then we

took the internet by storm by then we were quite quite a bit interconnected a

were quite quite a bit interconnected a

were quite quite a bit interconnected a lot of people were actually connected by

lot of people were actually connected by

lot of people were actually connected by their desktops and and so in some cases

their desktops and and so in some cases

their desktops and and so in some cases servers and so on so any kind of effect

servers and so on so any kind of effect

servers and so on so any kind of effect on people’s computers as well as the

on people’s computers as well as the

on people’s computers as well as the internet was quite problematic by 2001

internet was quite problematic by 2001

internet was quite problematic by 2001 then 2003 the SQL slammer now until then

then 2003 the SQL slammer now until then

then 2003 the SQL slammer now until then most of the attacks were filed based so

most of the attacks were filed based so

most of the attacks were filed based so you download a file and then that file

you download a file and then that file

you download a file and then that file would execute certain things on your

would execute certain things on your

would execute certain things on your machine and that might create too much

machine and that might create too much

machine and that might create too much traffic on the internet and this kind of

traffic on the internet and this kind of

traffic on the internet and this kind of stuff this was the first worm that was

stuff this was the first worm that was

stuff this was the first worm that was not even filed based it was completely

not even filed based it was completely

not even filed based it was completely memory based so nothing was stored on

memory based so nothing was stored on

memory based so nothing was stored on the file system or on the disk and this

the file system or on the disk and this

the file system or on the disk and this basically exploited SQL Server Microsoft

basically exploited SQL Server Microsoft

basically exploited SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server that was that had a buffer

SQL Server that was that had a buffer

SQL Server that was that had a buffer overflow problem and this had a huge

overflow problem and this had a huge

overflow problem and this had a huge effect on the internet so this kind of

effect on the internet so this kind of

effect on the internet so this kind of shows you know how this thing spreaded

shows you know how this thing spreaded

shows you know how this thing spreaded very very quickly and people were quite

very very quickly and people were quite

very very quickly and people were quite disabled by the slammer worm so then

disabled by the slammer worm so then

disabled by the slammer worm so then things started evolving the attackers

things started evolving the attackers

things started evolving the attackers got more and more clever

got more and more clever

got more and more clever so Trojans are viruses or worms that

so Trojans are viruses or worms that

so Trojans are viruses or worms that stay inside your machine and then will

stay inside your machine and then will

stay inside your machine and then will do something harmful but you wouldn’t

do something harmful but you wouldn’t

do something harmful but you wouldn’t see it so at least not immediately so

see it so at least not immediately so

see it so at least not immediately so Trojans started affecting machines and

Trojans started affecting machines and

Trojans started affecting machines and these Trojans would create a back door

these Trojans would create a back door

these Trojans would create a back door backdoor channel to a command and

backdoor channel to a command and

backdoor channel to a command and control center and that started creating

control center and that started creating

control center and that started creating this idea of a botnet so the botnet era

this idea of a botnet so the botnet era

this idea of a botnet so the botnet era started and these botnets are machines

started and these botnets are machines

started and these botnets are machines sometimes are called zombie machines

sometimes are called zombie machines

sometimes are called zombie machines they were recruited by infecting any

they were recruited by infecting any

they were recruited by infecting any users machine could be your machine it

users machine could be your machine it

users machine could be your machine it could be my machine by Trojans and they

could be my machine by Trojans and they

could be my machine by Trojans and they would create a backdoor towards the

would create a backdoor towards the

would create a backdoor towards the command command and control center and

command command and control center and

command command and control center and then they would do various things and it

then they would do various things and it

then they would do various things and it started because of spamming spamming of

started because of spamming spamming of

started because of spamming spamming of emails but now botnets are used for

emails but now botnets are used for

emails but now botnets are used for various other purposes including DDoS

various other purposes including DDoS

various other purposes including DDoS attack or distributed denial of service

attack or distributed denial of service

attack or distributed denial of service attacks so here is a kind of a list so

attacks so here is a kind of a list so

attacks so here is a kind of a list so one of the most famous one on top you

one of the most famous one on top you

one of the most famous one on top you can see is a Zeus worm that was used for

can see is a Zeus worm that was used for

can see is a Zeus worm that was used for making a lot of money from various US

making a lot of money from various US

making a lot of money from various US banks and the guy who was involved in

banks and the guy who was involved in

banks and the guy who was involved in this

this

this his name was his code name was liquor he

his name was his code name was liquor he

his name was his code name was liquor he has not been caught even today and in

has not been caught even today and in

has not been caught even today and in fact he has reappeared apparently in

fact he has reappeared apparently in

fact he has reappeared apparently in this new hacking scenario in the u.s.

this new hacking scenario in the u.s.

this new hacking scenario in the u.s. election so so this guy has changed his

election so so this guy has changed his

election so so this guy has changed his field from bank hacking to election

field from bank hacking to election

field from bank hacking to election hacking so there has been various kinds

hacking so there has been various kinds

hacking so there has been various kinds of botnets and even now that from 2003

of botnets and even now that from 2003

of botnets and even now that from 2003 2004 timeframe now we all have

2004 timeframe now we all have

2004 timeframe now we all have smartphones so there are smartphones

smartphones so there are smartphones

smartphones so there are smartphones recruited in the botnet now what

recruited in the botnet now what

recruited in the botnet now what happened in last October is even more

happened in last October is even more

happened in last October is even more scary because now we talk about IOT you

scary because now we talk about IOT you

scary because now we talk about IOT you will see here about Internet of Things

will see here about Internet of Things

will see here about Internet of Things your various kinds of equipments at your

your various kinds of equipments at your

your various kinds of equipments at your home are connected by network they talk

home are connected by network they talk

home are connected by network they talk to each other and they actually help you

to each other and they actually help you

to each other and they actually help you do things which you could not do before

do things which you could not do before

do things which you could not do before but these devices are also are very

but these devices are also are very

but these devices are also are very inexpensive and therefore not very

inexpensive and therefore not very

inexpensive and therefore not very secure so recently in October 2016 there

secure so recently in October 2016 there

secure so recently in October 2016 there was a huge distributed denial-of-service

was a huge distributed denial-of-service

was a huge distributed denial-of-service attack on the domain name system and

attack on the domain name system and

attack on the domain name system and that disable the you know access to

that disable the you know access to

that disable the you know access to Internet in large part of the eastern

Internet in large part of the eastern

Internet in large part of the eastern coast of us in October and that kind of

coast of us in October and that kind of

coast of us in October and that kind of botnets it was based on something called

botnets it was based on something called

botnets it was based on something called Mirai what net which was by infecting

Mirai what net which was by infecting

Mirai what net which was by infecting these devices with Mirai which is a sort

these devices with Mirai which is a sort

these devices with Mirai which is a sort of like a Trojan and that is now become

of like a Trojan and that is now become

of like a Trojan and that is now become a concern because we are talking about

a concern because we are talking about

a concern because we are talking about billions of devices being connected in

billions of devices being connected in

billions of devices being connected in the space of IOT and if that happens

the space of IOT and if that happens

the space of IOT and if that happens then we are kind of you know will be

then we are kind of you know will be

then we are kind of you know will be overwhelmed by various kinds of

overwhelmed by various kinds of

overwhelmed by various kinds of distributed denial-of-service so now

distributed denial-of-service so now

distributed denial-of-service so now jumping to 2009 what happened in Iran so

jumping to 2009 what happened in Iran so

jumping to 2009 what happened in Iran so Iranian nuclear enrichment plant was

Iranian nuclear enrichment plant was

Iranian nuclear enrichment plant was hacked and it was hacked with something

hacked and it was hacked with something

hacked and it was hacked with something called Stuxnet

called Stuxnet

called Stuxnet now this Stuxnet is very different from

now this Stuxnet is very different from

now this Stuxnet is very different from what we saw before because it attacked

what we saw before because it attacked

what we saw before because it attacked system which was air-gapped which means

system which was air-gapped which means

system which was air-gapped which means it was not connected to the Internet so

it was not connected to the Internet so

it was not connected to the Internet so which means that some social engineering

which means that some social engineering

which means that some social engineering went on some employees of this various

went on some employees of this various

went on some employees of this various forms that are involved in this Iranian

forms that are involved in this Iranian

forms that are involved in this Iranian nuclear plant we’re given something most

nuclear plant we’re given something most

nuclear plant we’re given something most probably an USB stick with a copy of the

probably an USB stick with a copy of the

probably an USB stick with a copy of the worm and if they plugged it in into

worm and if they plugged it in into

worm and if they plugged it in into their system and then the internal

their system and then the internal

their system and then the internal network even though it was not connected

network even though it was not connected

network even though it was not connected to the Internet the internal network was

to the Internet the internal network was

to the Internet the internal network was affected and the worm replicated itself

affected and the worm replicated itself

affected and the worm replicated itself and what it did was it slowed down the

and what it did was it slowed down the

and what it did was it slowed down the centrifuges that were enriching the

centrifuges that were enriching the

centrifuges that were enriching the uranium so it slowed down but it did not

uranium so it slowed down but it did not

uranium so it slowed down but it did not you know destroy them or he did not do

you know destroy them or he did not do

you know destroy them or he did not do anything outwardly obvious so he took

anything outwardly obvious so he took

anything outwardly obvious so he took them some time to even realize that they

them some time to even realize that they

them some time to even realize that they have been attacked so it was a very

have been attacked so it was a very

have been attacked so it was a very clever attack which was when people

clever attack which was when people

clever attack which was when people analyzed it they realized that this was

analyzed it they realized that this was

analyzed it they realized that this was not done by some hobby hackers this was

not done by some hobby hackers this was

not done by some hobby hackers this was this must have been done by some very

this must have been done by some very

this must have been done by some very powerful enemies of the country that is

powerful enemies of the country that is

powerful enemies of the country that is Iran and it was it had all kinds of

Iran and it was it had all kinds of

Iran and it was it had all kinds of vulnerabilities from windows 7 to

vulnerabilities from windows 7 to

vulnerabilities from windows 7 to Siemens PLC’s and so on where exploited

Siemens PLC’s and so on where exploited

Siemens PLC’s and so on where exploited so this is a little bit light-hearted

so this is a little bit light-hearted

so this is a little bit light-hearted hearted moment here that that you know

hearted moment here that that you know

hearted moment here that that you know here Iranian nuclear facility is

here Iranian nuclear facility is

here Iranian nuclear facility is affected but it is not this warm was not

affected but it is not this warm was not

affected but it is not this warm was not supposed to do something destructive it

supposed to do something destructive it

supposed to do something destructive it is supposed to do something clandestine

is supposed to do something clandestine

is supposed to do something clandestine or what we called it and covert attack

so I am NOT because you know we don’t

so I am NOT because you know we don’t have much time I’m not going to talk

have much time I’m not going to talk

have much time I’m not going to talk about how Stuxnet worked but you can

about how Stuxnet worked but you can

about how Stuxnet worked but you can find if you are more interested you can

find if you are more interested you can

find if you are more interested you can find it in many places on the Internet

find it in many places on the Internet

find it in many places on the Internet so but Stuxnet was not the only case

so but Stuxnet was not the only case

so but Stuxnet was not the only case where we saw that such a industrial

where we saw that such a industrial

where we saw that such a industrial critical system being affected by a

critical system being affected by a

critical system being affected by a cyberattack so this happened before you

cyberattack so this happened before you

cyberattack so this happened before you know starting from 2003 actually the

know starting from 2003 actually the

know starting from 2003 actually the 2003 East Coast blackout was proceed

2003 East Coast blackout was proceed

2003 East Coast blackout was proceed by this infection in the Ohio nuclear

by this infection in the Ohio nuclear

by this infection in the Ohio nuclear power plant with slammer worm so we

power plant with slammer worm so we

power plant with slammer worm so we talked about slammer worm before and

talked about slammer worm before and

talked about slammer worm before and then there is a train signalling system

then there is a train signalling system

then there is a train signalling system that was attacked there was a automobile

that was attacked there was a automobile

that was attacked there was a automobile plant whose manufacturing system was

plant whose manufacturing system was

plant whose manufacturing system was attacked and so on so these are some of

attacked and so on so these are some of

attacked and so on so these are some of the most well known are well publicized

the most well known are well publicized

the most well known are well publicized cases but this is not something that is

cases but this is not something that is

cases but this is not something that is very uncommon so if you look at the data

very uncommon so if you look at the data

very uncommon so if you look at the data so this is the industrial control system

so this is the industrial control system

so this is the industrial control system computer emergency response team in the

computer emergency response team in the

computer emergency response team in the u.s. they are 2010 to 2015 you see that

u.s. they are 2010 to 2015 you see that

u.s. they are 2010 to 2015 you see that in 2010 there were 39 reported cases in

in 2010 there were 39 reported cases in

in 2010 there were 39 reported cases in 2015 it is to 95 almost 300 which means

2015 it is to 95 almost 300 which means

2015 it is to 95 almost 300 which means we are talking about almost a nine-fold

we are talking about almost a nine-fold

we are talking about almost a nine-fold increase in the number of incidents that

increase in the number of incidents that

increase in the number of incidents that happened and if you look at the kind of

happened and if you look at the kind of

happened and if you look at the kind of incidents you know critical

incidents you know critical

incidents you know critical manufacturing seems to be the most

manufacturing seems to be the most

manufacturing seems to be the most affected but energy which means power

and so on so all these things have

and so on so all these things have something in common which is they are

something in common which is they are

something in common which is they are controlled by a supervisory control and

controlled by a supervisory control and

controlled by a supervisory control and decision control system and data

decision control system and data

decision control system and data acquisition system and therefore the

acquisition system and therefore the

focus now is on how to secure this

focus now is on how to secure this supervisory control and data acquisition

supervisory control and data acquisition

supervisory control and data acquisition system or SCADA systems so in a survey

system or SCADA systems so in a survey

system or SCADA systems so in a survey in 2015 it turns out and this is the

in 2015 it turns out and this is the

in 2015 it turns out and this is the u.s. so you can imagine what’s in the

u.s. so you can imagine what’s in the

u.s. so you can imagine what’s in the what’s happening in other parts of the

what’s happening in other parts of the

what’s happening in other parts of the world so 35.6% of the companies are

world so 35.6% of the companies are

world so 35.6% of the companies are saying we have no strategy or but we are

saying we have no strategy or but we are

saying we have no strategy or but we are developing one for you know saving

developing one for you know saving

developing one for you know saving ourselves from from an attack and these

ourselves from from an attack and these

ourselves from from an attack and these attacks are more and more common because

attacks are more and more common because

attacks are more and more common because the convergence of information and

the convergence of information and

the convergence of information and operational technologies so the factory

operational technologies so the factory

operational technologies so the factory floor is now connected to their business

pathway through which this attacks high

pathway through which this attacks high so in the last two years these things

so in the last two years these things

so in the last two years these things have been taken a very national security

have been taken a very national security

have been taken a very national security angle so Sony Israeli new electric grid

angle so Sony Israeli new electric grid

angle so Sony Israeli new electric grid was attacked but it was a surrogate

was attacked but it was a surrogate

was attacked but it was a surrogate great fortunately so they did not suffer

great fortunately so they did not suffer

great fortunately so they did not suffer a blackout but Ukraine was not that

a blackout but Ukraine was not that

a blackout but Ukraine was not that lucky so last year and this year Ukraine

lucky so last year and this year Ukraine

lucky so last year and this year Ukraine got blacked out by cyberattack and most

got blacked out by cyberattack and most

got blacked out by cyberattack and most probably by Russians so there were

probably by Russians so there were

probably by Russians so there were attacks on television network there were

attacks on television network there were

attacks on television network there were attacks on German steel plant there were

attacks on German steel plant there were

attacks on German steel plant there were attacks on Turkish banks so so all the

attacks on Turkish banks so so all the

attacks on Turkish banks so so all the banking network was completely jammed

banking network was completely jammed

banking network was completely jammed with a very large scale distributed

with a very large scale distributed

with a very large scale distributed denial-of-service attack by sending too

denial-of-service attack by sending too

so IOT ransomware so an Australian hotel

so IOT ransomware so an Australian hotel sorry Austrian hotel was actually locked

sorry Austrian hotel was actually locked

sorry Austrian hotel was actually locked out by using ransomware so they could

this reduce attack by mere a botnet

this reduce attack by mere a botnet using IOT devices so now focusing on

using IOT devices so now focusing on

using IOT devices so now focusing on India so this is a last year survey it

India so this is a last year survey it

India so this is a last year survey it turns out that financial sector is a 70

turns out that financial sector is a 70

turns out that financial sector is a 70 point 2 percent of the financial sector

hacked from the ATM services supplied by

hacked from the ATM services supplied by Hitachi and this are the some of the

Hitachi and this are the some of the

the hackers could easily bypass the SBI is OTP so in any case this SMS based OTP

is OTP so in any case this SMS based OTP

is OTP so in any case this SMS based OTP is unsafe in ist has completely

is unsafe in ist has completely

is unsafe in ist has completely prohibited in the u.s. to use SMS based

prohibited in the u.s. to use SMS based

prohibited in the u.s. to use SMS based OTP but in this case it was a web based

OTP but in this case it was a web based

OTP but in this case it was a web based attack by which you can actually change

attack by which you can actually change

attack by which you can actually change the OTP I mean change the settings so

that you do not require an OTP so just

that you do not require an OTP so just stealing the password would have been

stealing the password would have been

stealing the password would have been enough so now talking about other and

enough so now talking about other and

other based payment it turns out that

other based payment it turns out that you know if you look at the way this

you know if you look at the way this

you know if you look at the way this happens there is a huge possibility of

various kinds of cybersecurity

various kinds of cybersecurity activities and competitions so that

activities and competitions so that

activities and competitions so that there is a you know awareness as well as

there is a you know awareness as well as

there is a you know awareness as well as there is an interest so that people

there is an interest so that people

so we have to either create enough technology and enough methodologies to

technology and enough methodologies to

technology and enough methodologies to actually safeguard ourselves from cyber

actually safeguard ourselves from cyber

actually safeguard ourselves from cyber attacks or we have to do something

attacks or we have to do something

attacks or we have to do something called a resilient system design so we

called a resilient system design so we

called a resilient system design so we have to design our systems resilient to

have to design our systems resilient to

have to design our systems resilient to cyberattack which means even after the

cyberattack which means even after the

cyberattack which means even after the attack happens we should be able to

attack happens we should be able to

attack happens we should be able to detect it very very fast and then we

detect it very very fast and then we

detect it very very fast and then we have to segment part of the system it’s

have to segment part of the system it’s

have to segment part of the system it’s like you know amputating your your part

like you know amputating your your part

like you know amputating your your part of your body so that you can the rest of

of your body so that you can the rest of

of your body so that you can the rest of the body can survive so we have to be

the body can survive so we have to be

the body can survive so we have to be able to do that resilience built into

able to do that resilience built into

able to do that resilience built into all our systems financial systems power

all our systems financial systems power

all our systems financial systems power systems industrial manufacturing systems

systems industrial manufacturing systems

systems industrial manufacturing systems so all kinds of systems have to have

so all kinds of systems have to have

so all kinds of systems have to have built-in resilience so that that’s a way

built-in resilience so that that’s a way

built-in resilience so that that’s a way we have to solve this problem and and we

we have to solve this problem and and we

we have to solve this problem and and we have to solve this very very urgently in

have to solve this very very urgently in

have to solve this very very urgently in a war footing because this is something

a war footing because this is something

a war footing because this is something that is coming very very fast towards us

that is coming very very fast towards us

that is coming very very fast towards us and we have already been a little bit

and we have already been a little bit

and we have already been a little bit delayed here in India so that’s all I
