Mumbai to Keyloggers in all Cafes ...

[Sourabh]

Reminds me I was once dragged out of a Cyber Cafe because I cleared the IE cache.

If the compulsion on Identity card wasn't enough, here comes the key-logger news.

 

[freshseasons]

I am not Installing Any Key Loggers in my Internet Cafe'( What even if its in Nagpur), no. never.
I have a explicit Notice on the board that this Cafe' doesnt have any Key Loggers or Spy ware software ,in any of the 35 PC's that it has.
Internet Banking is the safest and i draw most customer on the trust.
For once i am going to Fight this law Tooth and nail.Thought i really don't have any idea how one fights it, tooth and nail.Ughh too much of clichés is bad .

 

[Choto Cheeta]

As for Kolkata, I am already Diging through Indian ACTs to see what gives me right to say no to install such if centraly GOV wants to impliment these crap options...

What the hell, is that how they treat customers there . Here they don't drag, just point a "Desi katta" on the head & say "chal bhag"

But seriously, nothing like this here. You can go where ever u want & no problem, most of the cyber cafes that i know here are someway associated with students which configure & play with the network like gpedit, or samba etc on it.

My friends cyber cafe is running from 4 years, still the same old hardware & XP, it rox...but still no such restrictions here, cos when the user goes to change something he gets error "Access denied" . Simple & effective, although cabins are not allowed here anymore

If the compulsion on Identity card wasn't enough, here comes the key-logger news.

ID card is good enough.

This plan won't succeed.
There is a cyber in my area where the speeds sucks(I sometimes think my dialup works fast ).What will happen if such software eats precious bandwith?
Also what is the state of broadband in India.Seriously pathetic.

 

[casanova]

Most of the cyber cafes have limited bandwdith. This will eat up their bandwidth, already low memory resources and cpu.

Speeds will be affected. Forget about the police getting our data.

What if a geek runs the cafe and uses the data collected by that softy.

Workaround:

Install your os in a portable hdd and boot through it. Hehe

 

[mavihs]

wats going happen 2 people who do shopping????
once i thought 2 install some keyloggers in some Cafes in my area as it was very easy 2 get through there system but dropped the plan as i didn't have the time & didn't no wat i would have done with the data.

This is an example of innovative use stupidity for national security.


I think id's are enough, keyloggers is over kill

This is what they have to say about privacy:

“The question we need to ask ourselves is whether a breach of privacy is more important or the security of the nation. I do not think the above question needs an answer,” said Mukhi. “

yeah, the monkey who cut off the king's head with an axe while attempting to kill a mosquito probably asked himself the question.

"The question we need to ask ourselves is whether some inconvenience is more important or long term protection from malaria, dengue and chickengunia. I do not think the above question needs an answer,”

cliches are usually used to cover up dumbness.

In Coimbatore,on a usual visit i went to a big cybercafe.I left there-reason they are asking for government ID card and address & what i am doing here...huh!btwn its one yr back.cybercafe guy said politely that police is looking their PC logs(means keylogger?) and visitors details in all cafe's in coimbatore that time.
TN Police is very strict esp in cities.
although i found a way to browse later that day!
and CBE is famous for a blast some 10 yrs back.

Most of the cyber cafe machines are resource hoggers and very poorly configured with no Firefox/Opera. The keyloggers will surely make them work on a snail's pace !

i think u people r simply raisin a hue and cry over a not-so-significant issue

i agree they will have access to every thing u type on d computer, and if needed they can use it to satisfy their voyeuristic urges (which i am sure many of d officers will definitley indulge in)

but considering the volume of data they would be recieving, it is quite certain that they would definitly be employing filters to flag only those contents that contain words like, say, Allah, bomb, Pakistan, Jehad etc

now taking the volume of data that they would come across into consideration, consider the probablitiy of they choosing your data for their cheap thrills, it would tend to zero

even if say by some stroke of misfortune d hawaldars manning the computers do manage to chance upon your mail, where you are describing in great graphic detail to your friends of the threesome you had last evening with your tution teacher and her daughter, or you proposing online (loser!!!) to your grilfriend, do you think they would turn up at your door-step to arrest you for this
These guys dont have enuf manpower to deploy for investigating crimes dat affect national interest, and u think that ur escapedes will bring them running to ur door-steps, high hopes
None of u r dat important d00ds :smirk:

If you still feel paranoid about d whole thing, you cud do wat i used to do not-so-long ago when i had to acces t net from a cafe

compose ur letters @ home or college lab and just copy paste it

do d same for d email-ids and passwords

and who d hell does online transactions in a cafe
if u still insit on doing it, just type in 0-9 & A-Z and copy-paste it (ida ripped from this months DIGIT ) as and when necessary,

c all ur problems solved

d police has thigs their way and u to have nothing to fear

and as 4 slow speed, that is d owners problem, to stay in buines and attrac customers they will have to ramp up theri infrastructure or run d risk of customers walkin down to d adjascent cafe with better speed

look at the /. article *yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/09/09/2011240.shtml

 

[Help~Is~Here]

What the hell? Pathetic Policing!! Trying to catch terrorist at the expense of people's privacy? I mean, what the hell are they thinking? keyloggers? Some illegal software used by cops? I haven't heard of a legal keylogger ever in my life!! If this was happening in developed countries, then the police would have got it on their face, but alas, this is india where cops take off your monitor but amazingly leave behind the CPU as a method of confistication!! This shows the amount of knowledge, not technical knowledge, the amount of knowledge our lawmakers and cops have! SAD!

For those of you who read this thread:

Now we know what they are doing with that money!! Invading people's privacy!

 

[Sparsh007]

they are also gonna take screenshots i think

 

[slugger]

well i can not say for you all, but i really wudnt mind if you take screen shots of my mail correspondences even if it contains detailed info about my *** life

and as for passwords, d solution is age-old, just copy-paste it instead of typing it

and if at all they gonna take screenshots den just dont use a cybercafe to conduct online financial transactions

 

[praka123]

what about a linux knoppix or any livecd or bootable usb and boot from cafe keyloggers logs what? provided internet u need to get up&running!(most may have dhcp?)
