Fatso love to talk nonsense. Why is he comparing his roots to Nnamdi's roots? What has that to do with ripping of Ekeweramadu's isiagu?

If you’re smart enough to break into a government server, you should be smart enough to cover your tracks.

It’s not one olaniyi somewhere applying for management job that you can easily track that will be breaking into high risk servers.

And of course, none of those breaking into those servers will be doing it on their personal devices or personal networks.

I put it to you sir that there are still some entities you yourself cannot track. When FBI cannot track some people is it now you?

Osama was caught because of a snitch, mind you. And if you know much of the high risk break ins like you say you do, you’ll know that they mostly work alone or in a tightly knit micro group.

You find someone who applied for a job doesn’t mean you have arrived.

There are people that will cripple all the bank networks in Nigeria, siphon funds and nobody will ever know who they are or even how they did it.

If a whole fbi still has to serve a warrant to get access to a resource they believe will aid their investigation, then who do you work for that has any power greater than that?

Tracing someone is not beans. It’s expensive, overwhelmingly expensive. imagine you have to trace someone who has bounced his connection through over 800 nodes, that’s more or less 800 ip addresses you have to trace(and please just don’t mention logging in on your personal device or anything, there are entities that don’t make mistakes), it can go to as much as 1500 nodes.

It’s even impossible if those nodes are outside the 5, 9 or 14 eyes countries.

I rest my case.

Bro, Ive not claim any credits for anything here. Ive not told you i serve anyone. I have not even claimed any skill or knowledge or any know how.

Cybersecurity and law enforcement is far deeper and concerned with big fish....those who have people on payroll and operate a syndicate. Not the puperized model you described who buys a non published number and a camera-less device. Thats not a security threat to reckon....thats just a wanna-be rat looking for money to steal so he could buy a gold necklace and a range rover....and then post on social media for bragging rights.

Dude, batteries on mac computers are sealed in, plus macs have device trackers. Assume your mac is stolen in PortHarcourt. You report it and its tracked to a specific address and house number in Lagos. Many people faced with this choice would be wise not to go retrieve the item. Some stewpid ones would see a cause and be passionate to go retrieve the stolen item. It is not wise to spend 500,000 naira to go retrieve an item whose value is only half that cost. This wisdom applies as well when chasing and investigating online fraud.

When serious case is on the target investigators throw everything at it to bring the culprit down. They will even bait you into a fake corporation and play along and allow you to steal data and valuables. Its necessary to convince judge "beyond reasonable doubt"

I also want to correct your knowledge, it appears you have mixed some cyber-myths with the facts.

1. All numbers are accessible to emergency operators like 911, 611, 411 and so on...but it is not possible for a non-registered number to place call across carriers. Your attempt to do so will result in error. Calls are made across trunks and a number that does not have active translations will not generate SYN/ACK session with a 200 resolution....and will therefore not work.

2. To target a vulnerability and exploit it you must first break into it. No server, even in its default setting and basic configuration will allow you in without registration and authentication.

3. The only way you can avoid tracking and detection of any kind is truly not to use smartphone or pc and never to jump in to social media.
Are you aware that when you use google assistant or siri or any other voice assist application your voice synthethis and signature is stored in the cloud? If you ever use a device with face recognition or finger recognition....your biometrics are stored?

Unatrac, who reported being scammed, failed to follow standard accounting procedures. If they did Obi would have found it tough to scam them. The standard procedure calls for approval check-balance; which means there would be more than one authorized approval for amounts above a certain value. If they had that in place the CEO and the Accountant would have discovered much earlier that something was not right..

The company itself was engaged in some questionable practices....they were advancing money irresponsibly and may have blocked transparency to avoid detection....and so a thief becomes victim to a thief.


Abeg make we no argue blindly on this issue. Bottom line is, yes its possible to dodge detection but you will also not be active online to do so. You cannot be actively using internet and expect your activity or its source not to be detected....anyone that believes it lives in fools paradise!

This was an ariya night probably somewhere in Ijebu. Ijebu can party on the moon make aso ebi out of space suit and helmet.

Not necessarily

I m happy with alot of sound minds on this thread I opened

Cheers to colleagues in the house like Basher8583 & MetaPhysical

Maybe we should talk about having a dedicated cyber security thread on this forum especially with the how advanced cyber crime is now

To my earlier comment there is actually a used code one can send offering any service once you open I can get all your info without you replying

The rabbit hole goes very far my friend Nigerians just don't know what's going one ...

Unfortunately only these criminals fraudsters are making strides


They travel to China and Taiwan to get high level decrypters and spoofers

Gentle men are you aware there is an illegal network run in Lagos , Abuja , Bayelsa and Kano here in Nigeria ?

There's guys have hacked into MTN and Globacom masts and broadcast their uw network hence running simcards , doing wire transfers and aiding Terrorists and corrupt politicians move funds around?

Anyways the FBI and.interpol are on it , a young man who helps with running this was picked up in nyanyan in Abuja last week.

Basically the network infrastructure is placed around the city in some people's apartments and they fit a generator an inverter and a laptop for the admin to ensure the network stays up

They have their own network , not mtn, not glo not Airtel or 9mobile

They use this network to do all their correspondence

Cheers

If it's for educating and raising people awareness Im for it. Like i said in previous posts, ordinary citizens should not be cowered and alarmed with fear about online and data usage. We must not restrain ourselves from living because people are out there to harm us....instead, criminals must be forced into alarm and fear of getting in trouble.

If the cybersecurity discussion is to enlighten good people...and perharps also convince bad people under the perception that their activity is invincible to give it up and use their knowledge for positive growth and achievements.

ConqueredWest:
How The Security System Tracks Criminals:

1) Get the phone number from Facebook Google Twitter etc.

2) Go to the local network company to get the owner of the number.



How Criminals Bypass Security Check:

1) Use a dead man's number to create fake social media accounts and a new phone filled with false information or better still a stolen phone to lead the security team to a wrong person



The only people that can reveal the real phone numbers of their users are google Facebook Twitter etc

NGRsenate

illitrate do you still think some criminals can't get away if they apply this method.?

Bro,
STOP!

Any "publicly networkED" device registers itself for tracking, simple!

Notice i said "public" and i also said "networked"....and not "network" There is difference between the two.

If you are networked and access open infrastructure you submit yourself to tracking.

Nobody is looking to track you....you yourself willingly surrender your ip and the network your ip came from (which can be geo-tracked) to SS7 database and as well to numerous registers.

The duty of investigators is to access those databases, nodes and registers and find one person out of trillions of records. The cost is monumental and if a criminal activity has no value, even though it broke laws, more than likely it will be ignored.....but for reasons of forecasting a particular instance might be tagged.

Example - if I break into Ministry of Transportation Microsoft Exchange server and start snooping on email traffic but not doing anything to them...like stealing the files. This is unauthorized access and exploits. Its a violation of law. If there is no other instance of access it could be dismissed as a glitch and no one will come after me but nonetheless I will be tagged as a possible violator to watch for. If I could break into Ministry of Transportation I could break into Defense server....I could break into Aso Rock server.

So for anyone to come looking for you is a waste of valuable resource ....unless of course your exploits has considerable value that can influence commercial or security interests. But even at that....no one Agency has all the information to nail you. Your footprints are scattered as dots.......all over the internet and those dots needs to be connected together to build a case beyond reasonable doubt to get conviction. The dots are distributed into different proprietary resources and so all the owners of these resources collaborate and piece the dots together and the whole picture then emerges.

Let me share a secret with you since we are on this topic. If you think your smart phone is totally off network when you power it off you are a joker!

When you turn your phone off it still pings cell tower. Even if you dont send SMS, no multimedia (whatsap, twitter, fb, ig...), no talk, no data, .....your phone reports your whereabout to the cell tower. Given enough interest to come after you, security will penetrate your invicibility and snatch you up.

I agree wholeheartedly with FG and NBC.

A rule was passed few years ago in America and banned real time broadcast of award night presentations and thus mandated they are delayed behind real time to allow directors a review and approval before it hit the screen.

Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake were to entertain on the stage at the live BET award night. The dress on her had a prop in the chest as part of the drama on stage. Justin pulled the prop. If successful the upper fabric of her dress in the chest area will separate revealing a color-contrasted second covering underneath. No skin should show. This act was in real time. Well, the wardrobe prop failed. What resulted when Justin pulled the prop was both the upper and bottom fabric peeled off and Janet's br3ast was right there in front of camera beamed to millions of viewers all over the world. This embarassing indecent exposure changed the rule on "real time" broadcast and also made "wardrobe malfunction" a popular known word.

I say this to highlight that even in America, the land of freedom and home of liberty and individual choice, indecency in broadcast is censored by govt.

If BBN was broadcasted in America showing foreign values (unAmerican values) it would not come on national channel and it would not make mainstream reviews EVER!

Youths want leadership roles....youth must demonstrate leadership skills. Let us support FG on this issue. No serious civilized society puts sex on its mainstream broadcast. Some people say it would not be popular or draw appeal if the theme is changed. Humans respond to dramatic acts. If the producers are creative, the drama minus the sex, will draw crowd. We dont want a society that sex sells as a medium for appeal....Nooo!

Bashar,
Thanks for sharing that.

Image 1, in addition to what Bashar shared, in blue is data encryption containing headers and source ip. Someone in same network can decrpyt and see his username and password. Hopefully he is using TLS to shield, which makes jailbreaking the data very strenous....but not impossible.


Image 2, the exact model and type of phone that particular stock browser came from.



I like this because guys thinking they are invincible, you better be careful. Overall, this is to advance humanity and we ought to support its wise and positive applications. Criminals should be the ones warned to desist and watch their back, not good citizens going about their legitimate business. We have right to enjoy life without fear.

NGRsenate:
I know all that

But For instance; you buy a new internet enabled phone that does NOT have camera(s). Buy a new sim card that’s NOT registered (let’s say before the era of sim reg, I don’t want to use the era of sim reg so that I don’t give people new ideas). You bought this all cash.

Now on this phone, you will never login to your personal fb, email account, other social media accounts, bank accounts etc.

Create a new email address, sign up to a bunch of sites, write a bunch of posts and then throw the phone with the sim in the lagoon.

Now on your personal phone, apply for a job with your personal email, phone number, bla bla and NOT with the email or phone number in the phone you just threw away.

Now write a short note on how op can connect you with the posts you made with the phone you threw away in the process of vetting you for a new job.

Guys, you all need to stop this nonsense abeg. OP gave a good awareness, those who need will apply, those who dont need it should move on. Stop testing and stressing his knowledge and skills. Thats not what his thread is about.

What you describe here as a scenario does not fall into the area cybersecurity professionals are concerned. Their job calls for identifying vulnerability and shielding it from exploitation....or in the case of forensic examiners, inspecting retrieved hardwares or softwares and its footprints for evidence of crime. My guy, if you want to test your visibility use that gaddem camera-less phone to penetrate a network in surveilance and start stealing data. Na dat time you go know say your invicibility is porous.

Is that the clothe he wore to the event

Ekweremadu habadashered ZOO coat of arms into isiagu and had the audacity and the temerity to flaunterize it to an event popularized and parambulazoned by BIAFRAN heroes? Chineeekeee!!!!

He invited the pulverization by his self act, no one to blame. Lessons learnt...dont wear zoo paraphernalia to event for Biafrans.

Did ohanaeze actually say that? E donn kpafuka now now!!

We already know who and why. Its waste of bandwidth to report it.

Kwenu! Kwenu!! Kwenu!!!

The idea that soldiers are untouchable is still very alive in the consciousness of our society. Many people see soldiers as an institution to be feared and obeyed at all cost....or at the cost of life if disobedience is chosen.

The soldiers on the other hand see themselves with unlimited privilege and civilians as a stock to be exploited....and if their privilege is denied bullet will settle the score.

This guy raped the student as part of the privilege of exploits....it was premeditated!

They stopped the bus and he looked in inspecting for a desirable female. So he was selective of his victim.

Insane person would not have mind to select or chose. The guy should posted back to Borno and put on war theater immediately. Let bokoharam get a taste of his insanity abeg!

Hello all ,

Looking at the recent arrest of high profile Yahoo boys Obiwanne there have been alot of conspiracy theorist about how his nairaland account played into this and I want to help.seperate facts from fiction.

Before I go further let me drop a bit of a clue into why I am doing this. I know someone who helps with digital forensic profiling or individuals, for NGOs, Embassies, law enforcement and such

For instance a recuritment firm hiring for an international NGO like Oxfam might want to vet the final list of candidates and this recruiting firm will send such a list to.him to screen out the red flags like , Religious hate, tribal hate, anti-Semitism , Homophobia etc..

Sometimes embassies who receive asylum applications from individuals claiming to be gay or whatnot send such lists to certain firms who engage my services to vet..

This individual traces digital foot prints and profile you... Even if it's one of your numerous Facebook, Nairaland, or Myspace account where you commented on how you hate bobrisky or how you wish gays are killed or how you wish , yorubas are wiped out by fulani herdsmen or how you believe ibos are pigs or how you think hausa fulani are all evil ... depending on what your applied for or the information the company is looking for
It will all show in your report ...

Sometimes companies request for certain information, like how this candidate leans in regards to violence against women.. so if you have ever made a post with one of your nairaland accounts in the romance section saying how some women deserve to be slapped or beaten well it will be found

I know you are wondering how possible this is when you may have even closed these accounts hence they read as nobody or deleted the posts on Facebook or opened over 200 accounts so you think surely it can't be traced ?

It can and it is very easy to do if you know how.. I won't go into details because that way you will know how to be totally anonymous hence making the person's work.harder so no.

But just know that you should keep track of people who follow you on this platform

Some of you whom I follow know why I do that.

My point is , all these TRIBALISM and Religious hate posts you make will only work against you in the ever competitive Nigerian employment market

As at last week Sage announced to their staff they are leaving Nigeria, so you have more professionals coming to join the unemployment market .

Alot of you who are in school posting tribal hate thinking for now you don't need a job just an internship well... Don't get discouraged when you don't get called up or retained afterwards

My advise start censoring yourself or live with the consequences.cheers


Cc: Mynd44 OAM4J

This is a good call out but i think you omitted some pertinent points.
As a forensic expert you should encourage people and reassure them of safety. Lets not heighten fear unecessarily. Yoruba will say "eni ti o je gbi, ko le ku gbi!" That is, those who do not swallow risks, cannot be consumed by risks!

On the opposite side to what you call hate, tribal bashing, religious intolerance there is also "venting".

You can say all you want to say online under your privilege for free speech but following it with action is what society discourages. As much Ibo and Yoruba heat up the social media and promise wiping each other out when have you seen Yoruba go attack Ibo settlements or Ibo attack Yoruba settlements? Never! The two are engaged in vents, and it should not go beyond social media. This is why i dont like Nairaland shutting down threads when Yoruba and Ibo go at each other. If we discourage it on social media they will find other avenues to exhale the heat....God forbid they take to street because they are chased out of internet.


On forensic investigation, I support your take completely. First, every person owe an obligation to support and grow society positively. A good society is a place of harmony for our individual family units to thrive and plant our evolution and strong value systems. Nonetheless bad elements must exist. In usage, what used to be proprietray technology and in the hands of few is no longer so, much of every aspect of technology usage today exist on open source platforms. Which means a truly bad element, those out to harm society, have as much access to apply technology in evasion tactics as forensic investigators have in detecting and tracking them. Those who go about simply building society should not be bothered with intricacies of cat and mouse game between criminals and law enforcement.

Let me give you a very simple overview of the dangers we live in. Airports and malls are convergent points for very high human traffic at any single moment. They are also hubs for commercial activities. Now you can enjoy free open wifi in most airports and malls. Well, wifi of any kind, free or private, encrypted or not, are penetrable and downloadable applications are available for free (or nearly free) that people with bad intention could use to sniff into packet streams. Imagine our vulnerability in airport or mall when we use open wifi with sniffers present in the same network and watching us swipe cards or enter username and password into bank accounts. The open wifi is a great step forward for society but good citizens should be enlightened on its wise usage.

I want to reiterate here that Marshall Ward, the Fbi agent had reached a dead point in his investigation, even with all the tools at his disposal. He was rescued by the informant software developer. Cybersecurity tools like NIDS using algorithms to flag signature footprints reported "iconoclast1960" and gave the investigation new life. But in retrospect, you can appreciate the depth of layers of covers Obi had in place using evasive and diversionary tactics to not draw attention to himself.

People, share this Giddy's post on twitter and fb.

Govt officials are "touchable".

gidgiddy:
2016, herdsmen slaughtered over 500 people in one Local Government alone called Agatu, in Benue

2018, over 3000 people were slaughtered all over Nigeria by armed killer herdsmen that year

2019, hundreds of Nigerians are already dead from the actions of the marauding herdsmen

Senator Ekweremadu goes to an event in Germany and he is bundled out of the place to his car, guess what?

Abike Dabiri
Chief John Nwodo
Ayo Fayose
Orji Uzor Kalu
Kayode Ogundamisi
Shehu Sani
South East Governors forum
And many more



All now have something worthwhile to comment on. Now they have something important to condemn.

Had it been herdsmen who struck yesterday and killed people, would all these people be rushing out in condemnation like they did with Ekweremadu?

Had Ekweremadu been a common Taxi driver based in Germany, would these people have bothered to condemn what happened? Or is it because he is a highly placed Senator?

So it takes the 'roughing up' of a Senator to get these peoples attention? Suddenly these people are asking the German Police to get the people who bundled Ekweremadu out, but they can never call on the security forces to save the people being slaughtered in Nigeria.

When armed Nigerian Soldiers were shooting and killing unarmed IPOB protesters, these people didn't care

When people are being slaughtered in Nigeria, you will hardly hear from these people

Ekweremadu gets bundled to his car and all these people suddenly know what is right and wrong.

Maybe attacking Ekweremadu was not the best way IPOB could have handled it but it seems that it is the only way to get these Nigerian politicians to understand that the people are not happy

This thread should be on FP.

This post is a national question and I support the OP for truthfullness and raising awareness on the issue.

Good job 'Giddy!

Follow me to get more ibo news.

Leading who?

oranmiyan, oduduwa, ogiso ... Those are fables, made up stories. Your claims are laughable. The Oba of Benin is 100% Edo. Yoruba never ruled over any non Yoruba, most Yoruba were even led by non Yoruba: brazilian slaves, Dahomey kingdom, Ilorin ...

Before the arrival of the British, ife had almost no architecture while Benin city, the capital of Benin kingdom, had beautiful houses and city walls.

Many of the people now calling themselves Yoruba are recorded to have been citizens of Benin kingdom in the precolonial era.

What you are doing is claiming Edo heritage and then turning back to say Edo are proud of your belongings.

It is weird to see a people A claiming an other people B's king, claiming B's art, claiming B's history, claiming B's everything and then saying B has nothing, their pride is what we offered them ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2Tac1gNPU

You have a son of fabled ancestors ruling over you. Omo n' Oba is the scion of Eweka, son of Oranmiyan.

We dont call him Omo n'Oba for nothing.

Edo ancestors roamed forests unclad when Ife established first dynasty on that land and slowly gave them civilization.

On Oranmiyan's arrival they were still very primitive and backward.

Even now, after centuries of cultural mingling...still backward!

The only pride is their foreigner King, in essence they are proud of Yoruba ruling over them.

Ask them to share anything native Edo has ever exported to influence other cultures. Nothing!

After he finishes as Commissioner next posting is to SE to bring Ibos under APC..

biafranation:
I don't support violence on anyone but why would you agree to go to IPOB strong territory like Germany? Sounds like the people who brought him there to the Igbo meeting, brought him there on purpose to be beaten. I watched the video and none of those guys that invited tried as hard to protect him. I just don't get it. Painful to watch, seeing him scamper for safety in a foireign land! The Way Igbos Attacked Ekweremandu In Germany Shows Igbo Society Is indeed an Egalitarian Society.

Show egalitarian values across Africa and abandon crime.

I have about 3 of them already. When my toilet paper for hous finish na this paper i go mash till hin sof take wipe butt. I promise you.

Sell me the one you have make i add to stack here.

What will person not see in Nairaland....from Evans to Evictus Obi and now Ekweremadu.

Then Fayose blew his top and had to put things in perspective.

Ahhh, wooo...Ibo matter don tire me jare.

How come Igbo are everywhere in Nigeria but only Igbos in SE are topping WAEC? The result is not of smartness....but shows SE tops exam malpractices in Nigeria.

If it was about Igbo smartness Igbo students everywhere will be top of class whether in Funtua or Idimu or Afikpo. Correct!

In SE you get away with frauds and malpractices that are disallowed everywhere else.

Even at that -the bolded part above- the killings will not stop though I hope the situation never gets to that deplorable state. The sad reality here is the fact that since all these killings have been going on, not a single fulani herdman has been been arrested and jailed as a deterrent to others. Shows me that the will (to truly resolve the problem) is non-existent. we are just kidding ourselves here.

It's preposterous that the solution they offered, is for the same alleged perpetrators of these crimes should now be made to provide security in those affected areas.

Absolute truth brother! . God bless you!!
