The Internet (ARPANET), was started in 1960s,


established its first connection in 1969, was spread
across the US by 1971, and reached Europe by 1973

ARPANET’s Legacy
• It all starts with a handshake
– Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
& Internet Protocol (IP)

• Well designed with many different


paths to a destination, where
routers constantly monitor the
integrity and select the best path,
making it robust in the face of
severe physical damage

Despite its apparent good design, the Internet


was not originally conceived with internal
security in mind, making it vulnerable to attacks

“Criminal acts using computers and networks as tools or


targets”

“Traditional crimes conducted through the use of computers”

Modern Computer Crimes


• Can be based on malicious code such as a
virus, email virus, worm or Trojan horse.
– a.k.a. Passive Attacks
• Or actively perpetrated by
knowledgeable individuals,
who attempt to exploit network,
computer, and software flaws
– a.k.a. Active Attacks
Cyber criminals

Cyber criminals come in


many forms. The most
harmful can be malicious
insiders, and discontented

professional criminals like
hackers, organized crime, who
make a living off of their well
sharp skills and criminal
attempts.

governments and terrorists
will also use the internet to
improve their position or
further their cause
