Internet Usage Monitoring for Crime Detection

Though Internet has huge contribution to Society’s development; In recent time Internet has been used by Criminals, Terrorists, and Hackers for mal-activities. Open environments for Internet access such as publicly used Internet cafe’s and university/school laboratories are becoming a platform for Criminals and newbie Crackers. The major reason behind this is lack of proper authentication, insufficient logging & usage monitoring system in these environments. We propose Internet Usage Monitoring for Crime Detection (IUMCD) system for detection and prevention of criminal activities and intrusion attempts happening from such open environments. The IUMCD is a proactive system which monitors all User activities when User is accessing Internet from an open environment. We observed that IUMCD system is able to detect and report many different types of Criminal activities and Intrusion attempts while maintaining User’s private information inaccessible to others.
