According to the Bureau of Police Research and Development,
more than 125,000 cybercrime cases were reported last year.
Out of which 25,000 charge sheets were filed,
and only 125 arrests were made.
Internal teams are facing a lot of pressure,
and lacking expertise.
This is why, the conviction rate is only 0.1%
Every phone and every screen is currently a potential crime scene.
But even today we are facing machine guns with sticks.
What do you want, Ashutosh?
Just some funds, sir.
Funds to start a parallel task force.
Parallel task force?
Should we resign?
Are you serious?
Diamond cuts diamond, sir.
We need people who eat, drink, and sleep technology.
Just like those hackers.
And where will we find these diamonds?
Why did you hack him?
Hit me again and I won't tell you.
- Trying to be a wise guy-- - Kamya.
No one will hit you now.
Speak.
Life is a program.
And God is the coder.
I guess in my case he forgot to debug.
And a virus got in.
After my father's suicide, my uncle Bhushan usurped our property.
And made us homeless.
They took our home and our identity.
I will take it all back one day.
Where did you learn hacking?
My mom worked as a cook in people's house.
And sent me to school with the help of an NGO.
I had a lot of time and was short on money.
So I took up a part-time job at a cyber cafe.
That was my real school.
One day... a guy was typing something weird.
I asked.
He said, "It is a code".
It seemed less of a language and more of chaos.
What was your enmity with Kulkarni?
He was having an affair.
Mom saw him cuddling up to another woman.
You cannot go inside.
- Why are you stopping me? - He was scared of his wife.
Accused my mother of stealing and banned her from the society.
But madam...
Get out! I said get out of here.
Mom lost her job.
So...
I hacked that scumbag.
The money in Kulkarni's account
was transferred to an NGO.
Why didn't you keep it for yourself?
It could have changed your life.
I am not a thief, sir.
I just wanted to teach Kulkarni a lesson.
What you did
was not teach him a lesson,
but a crime.
Screwed?
In a fit of rage, people first screwed the world,
and then themselves.
What do I do now?
Hey... what are you blabbering?
Who are you talking to?
How did she do it?
There is a refuge area above Kulkarni's flat,
where his Wi-Fi signal is available.
First I hacked his router,
then by using MITM I intercepted his Wi-Fi traffic.
I was saying... what was that MTNL?
MTMI...
DCP Hussain.
With three months of computer course,
he became the head of the cybercrime unit.
Why? How? Or what favours he had pulled in?
No one asked or cared.
It's not MTMI, sir.
It's MITM.
Man-in-the-middle-attack.
Yeah, right. Man-in-the-middle-attack.
So what is this MITM? How did she do it?
She is a sharp girl, sir.
She used Wire Shark.
Using this app, the hacker can monitor all the devices logged into the Wi-Fi.
Usernames, passwords, bank details.
Anything you access on your screen,
they can see it.
But transferring his money wasn't as much fun,
as leaking his romantic chats.
The money was transferred using Kulkarni's Wifi.
So that her IP address cannot be tracked.
Then how did you catch her?
You cannot go inside.
- Why are you stopping me? - Get out.
Are you crazy? Stop!
Why did you throw my mobile?
The laptop charger was repaired a couple of days ago.
Through the label, we found the cyber cafe,
and from the cyber cafe, we found her.
It's a different mind.
It's a dangerous mind.
ACP Kamya. She's a tough woman.
But later we realised,
she was soft like a coconut inside.
Another thing.
She has this dangerous inclination to prove herself right.
What did you say her name was?
Shakti.
Shakti Chaudhary.
I am sorry!
I am sorry! Leave me. Leave me!
My world changed in a second.
Have you ever seen a Hackathon?
Such advanced hacking is not your cup of tea.
If you fail this hackathon,
we'll know your story is bogus.
And you are a member of a bigger gang.
Not much... you're looking at three years of jail time.
I will personally inform your mother.
All the best.
All you tech-wizards from different parts of the country
are welcome to this Hackathon.
Shull.
India's leading security system.
And your task for today is,
to try and break into its server.
Whoever completes the task first,
shall receive Rs.300,000 prize money from Shull.
And the other two runner-ups will receive Rs.100,000 each.
So what are you waiting for?
Let's get ready to rumble.
Mr. Murthy.
Good stage presence.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Hussain.
Where do I begin?
She is trying SQL injection.
Structured Query Language, sir.
The hacker manipulates the website's backend data
and inserts their own code.
So they can access all protected information.
Who is this asshole?
He froze all the systems.
He almost took everyone out of the game.
Sir, he's checking the vulnerabilities of Shull's server.
He is trying a brute-force attack.
Now all he needs is the right combination of passwords.
The password is hashed.
It can be de-hashed.
But anyone can hack the server like this.
And you are not worried, Mr. Murthy.
No.
Because this is not Shull's original server.
It's a diversion. A honey pot.
You mean...
honey to distract the bees.
Right, sir.
It's a clone server.
The hackers will hack it,
and we'll know our weaknesses.
And without any risk.
- Yes! - There we have the first winner.
And we have the second winner.
And the third winner.
And now let's welcome the cyber crime team of Mumbai.
I would like DCP Hussain to hand over the winner's cheque.
Someone's hacked our system.
- What? - Yes, sir.
What's wrong, Mr. Murthy?
Someone hacked Shull's server.
And now you are worried, Mr. Murthy.
Not the honey pot, sir.
Someone hacked Shull's original server.
What? Who?
When I observed the coding pattern of the server,
I learned there was no traffic on it.
It was a honey pot.
How the hell did you get into the actual server?
Shull's server is connected to their third-party vendors.
So I got a list of vendors from the internet.
Apex has been Shull's stationary provider for years.
Meaning full-on trust.
- Hello. - Sandip ji.
I am speaking from Shull's account department.
This is about the two pending payments.
If you can confirm it, I can immediately send the payment.
Okay.
Can you please confirm your email ID?
Is Sandeep with "ee" or is it 'i'?
No, it's 'ip'.
It's sandip@apexstationary.com
Yes. Great.
I've sent you an attachment of the bill. Can you open it, please?
As soon as Sandip clicked on the attachment,
I got into Apex's server.
How did you send a mail from Shull's ID?
Not from Shull, but an ID similar to Shull.
I just replaced the 'l' with '1'.
Phishing email.
Sir, Apex and Shull's connection is like a tunnel.
I got in Apex first which led me straight to Shull's server.
The hackathon was your 'Roadies' audition.
And you were selected.
What do you mean?
I mean we are setting up a cybercrime task force.
And you will work in it.
Hack the hackers. Solve cybercrime cases.
Are you offering me a police job?
Not the police.
Official Resource Person.
You will get 25,000 as a stipend.
What if I say no?
Is it because you've a long queue of people waiting outside to offer you a job?
It's not about the job, I don't trust people in uniform.
Something in the past.
And I can't work with people I don't trust.
So thanks, but no thanks.
Get lost!
What happened?
- What happened? - Forget it!
But dinner...
I met Sameer on the way.
He said, "Pay the rent or vacate the place".
That...
Shobha...
She will speak to some people for a job.
Sweeping and mopping.
What about your back?
I can manage for a few days. It's okay.
Take it.
When your mind is fucked,
the whole world seems fucked up.
"One day... one day."
"Wait and watch."
"I'll take what's mine... "
"This is my time."
"Wait and watch."
"Made myself tough... "
"For mom's happiness, I can give my blood."
"I'll take what's mine... "
"This is my time."
"Wait and watch."
"God wrote this program... "
"which I hacked."
"There is not a single code... "
"which I didn't crack."
"Eyes on justice, and vision's black."
"Mom's tears, father's dead body... "
"I get flashbacks."
Pay the rent or vacate the house.
Sweeping and mopping.
What about your back?
I can manage for a few days. It's okay.
"I want to touch the sky... "
"Come give me a try."
"Injustice is what I want to hack."
"The dark web is where my soul is trapped."
"Like a soul I see the light, I don't see God."
"Conditions were rough, Conditions were tough."
"Wait and watch."
"Never stop, never tire."
"Never look back."
"Stay away from the world's prying eyes."
"Whatever my heart says I do."
"Never give up."
"No food to eat."
"Those leaders on the street are fake, they only lie."
"The government's hollow."
"Burdened with debt."
"My poor mother is doing all the work."
"Her daughter is in pain."
"Life seems like a joke to me."
"Forward I march but with pressure on my shoulders."
"Wait and watch."
Hello.
Fine.
I am ready to trust you.
I am ready to trust you...
Sir.
Yes, sir.
Sonam ji, does this book mean you're retiring from acting.
No, Shekhar.
I am not retiring from acting.
But yes,
I believe what's above,
important and fulfilling job than acting, is parenting.
In fact, my new book "Indian Parenting Bible"
focuses on these issues.
The values we impart to our children today,
will serve as a base to shape their future.
- Ma'am Please - Thank you. Thank you.
Ma'am, one photo.
Will you excuse me? Thank you, guys.
Hi, son.
Ayaan, what's wrong?
- Ayaan? - Mom.
What's wrong, son?
Ayaan?
Ayaan. Talk to me.
Ayaan, talk to mama.
Ayaan.
Ayaan!
What is the matter? Why do you keep calling repeatedly?
This opportunity didn't come easily, dear.
Give it your all to the job.
Do I ever listen to you?
- Don't yell at me - So why do you bother?
Such temper in the morning
Okay, bye.
Life had taken such a flip.
Ayaan Sharma.
Age; 19 years.
Cause of death; acute substance abuse.
The substance was couriered in these packets.
Any return address on the packet?
- It's a fake. - I am sure it's fake.
But where did he order these drugs from?
Sir, GammaRoad.com
It's the biggest platform for drug dealers.
Ayaan Sharma ordered this substance from a drug dealer called Bubblegum.
You mean, type 'gum maro' on Google and buy drugs.
Not Google, sir. Dark web.
I know, but it is still on the web.
It's a huge part of the internet, which is hidden from us.
it's called the dark web.
My memory is eluding me. How do we access the dark web?
Using the TOR browser.
TOR. T O R.
Yes, sir. The Onion Routing browser.
Here the sites end with 'dot onion' instead of 'dot com'.
Why onion?
Because like an onion,
information is encrypted in multiple layers in TOR,
and every user's ID and IP address is hidden.
So how do we track this bubblegum?
Sir... bubblegum is just a fish.
We want the entire pond.
Meaning?
Meaning, sir, we need to find the person running GammaRoad.
Because once we find him,
we can decrypt the identities of all the dealers.
But again, how will we find him?
I guess it's time to test...
your precious finds.
What is this?
Seeing how you hacked Shull's system,
you seemed to be playing from the criminal's team.
If I was playing for their team, I wouldn't be caught by you.
- Hey... - On your laptops.
Pick your desks.
Hello.
You, hero!
Get out.
- Why? - Leave.
Girish. Ashutosh sir's distant cousin.
A topper in computer engineering.
But failed IPS exams three times.
The poor thing is confused.
Should he be a cop like his ancestors, or a hacker like us.
This is my chair.
And the toilet is that way.
Don't forget to pull up the handle after using the flush.
Otherwise, the water will keep dripping.
Okay, sir.
Did you do their induction?
Yes, sir. I told them everything necessary.
Shakti.
- Find vulnerabilities. - Yes, sir.
To find the dealer's identity,
we must hack GammaRoad's backend.
Yes sir.
Girish, here's what you do. Make a list of all the dealers on GammaRoad.
Maybe one of them is the admin.
- Jigar. - Sir.
Set up a buyer's account on GammaRoad.
- Okay. - Give a cocaine order to Bubblegum.
Okay, sir.
- Som bhai. - Yes.
Did you put salt in the food?
I did.
But Amey told me to use less salt.
Amey.
These days you're trying to be my father, not my son.
These days you've been showing more attitude.
Look, I will not compromise with my food.
And I won't compromise your health.
What if you die like mom?
Nothing will happen to me.
Bro.
The main frame will die in this heat.
Are you serious? Really?
Updates?
Sir, I've put together a dealer's list,
but I'm not sure who's the admin.
Sir, even I opened a buyer account on GammaRoad.
But no response from Bubblegum yet.
There's another website called Hippy, where he has an account.
But no response there either.
How many active users are on Hippy?
Around 10,000, sir.
Not worth it. Forget Hippy.
If he isn't selling to us, then we'll sell to him.
Girish. Figure out which drugs he's dealing in.
Okay, sir.
Shakti.
Did you find any vulnerabilities?
Still trying.
Sir... I was saying,
without an AC, the mainframe will heat up.
If you can do something, that will be good.
Are you serious? Really?
I have put in an application.
Better pray that it arrives before the mainframe blows up.
Thank you, sir.
Preaching to the world, unaware of her own.
90's actress Sonam Sharma's 19-year-old son
was found dead in his room on Sunday.
The cause of death is said to be substance abuse.
What's shocking is that during the incident,
Sonam herself was enlightening people on parenting.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Can you hear me? - Yes absolutely.
As I was saying...
Our top-selling incense sticks are sandalwood and rose.
Which ones do you want?
Both.
Both?
Nice. Nice.
I'll send one carton of each.
That is too much.
Keep it. Can I be of any other service?
- Nothing. - No? Okay, fine.
- Hanging up now. - Okay.
Okay. Jai Sri Krishna.
Jigar. You can take a Gujju out of Gujarat,
but never Gujarat out of Gujju.
His poor naive parents don't know,
that in reality, he is a hacker.
What?
It's our family business.
Papa handles it offline and I handle it online.
Elon Musk of incense sticks.
Forget it.
Progress?
Sir, heroin, cocaine, hashish, we tried everything.
But Bubblegum isn't ready to talk.
We'll need some time to win his trust, sir.
Shakti?
Did you find any vulnerabilities?
Still trying, sir.
Need more time?
Yes, Sonam ji.
Sir, any information about those drug dealers?
Still trying.
Need more time.
Sir, these bastards need to be behind bars, sir.
I can only imagine what you are going through.
You can't.
You can't, sir. Nobody can.
Sir, I failed.
I failed!
But you don't fail, sir. Please!
We are trying our best.
I beg you please.
Sir, which drug is rare to get in India?
Sir.
Amphetamine.
What are you doing?
Selling amphetamine to Bubblegum.
But why?
Because people often want things that are short in supply.
If he places an order, he will also come to collect it.
Yes, sir.
Sir. Got a reply.
Very good.
He was not as dumb as I thought he was.
No, sir. I've been sitting here for two hours.
Guess I'll fall off any minute like a ripe mango.
Jigar. Ask him why he didn't collect the packet.
Why are you wasting your time?
You are sure there are no vulnerabilities.
There isn't, but I got to find one.
Are you looking in the wrong place?
"Because I don't like monkeys."
What is he saying?
You've been called out, Shinde.
Come down.
Bubblegum slipped through our hands, sir.
But he couldn't give me the slip.
There are no vulnerabilities on the GammaRoad website, sir.
- Then? - But there are in Hippy.
And I used that vulnerability to decrypt Bubblegum's chat.
Bubblegum is Hippy's admin.
So Bubblegum runs Hippy, sir.
And his identity?
- Found it. - Let's get to work.
Why don't you like monkeys?
Stop.
You go, sir.
I'll keep him hanging all night.
Mario!
Once we put Bubblegum in jail,
he revealed the name of Gamma's admin.
Sir.
The admin/password given by Bubblegum is correct.
It's now in our control.
Great.
No, Shakti. This is just a dent in the drug market.
We want to make a hole. We want to find Mario.
Sir, we checked all the forums on the dark web,
but nothing is linked to his identity.
Neither Mario nor Spartan.
Now what's Spartan?
Sir, his nickname was Spartan66.
After he started GammaRoad he changed it to Mario.
But if everything is anonymous on the dark web,
then why change his name?
Unless he used this name somewhere else.
Girish, get details of all chatrooms with spartan66
and localise the search.
Check on dates before GammaRoad went active.
I already checked.
Not in the dark web. On normal internet.
Six months before the GammaRoad website started,
a user called spartan66 put out this ad on the internet.
And that's where he got f-- I mean screwed.
He used his real email ID.
William Francis.
GammaRoad's admin,
How are we sure that William is Mario?
Mario on Gamma Road and William on the internet,
are always online at the same time.
And also offline.
Find his address.
- Is Mario logged in? - Yes, sir.
Shakti, we must take control of this website at any cost.
- Team ready? - Yes, sir.
Roll sound.
Roll camera.
Action.
Hey... are you blind?
Driving like a madman.
What is happening to me? Something is happening to me.
Drinking and driving.
Get him out.
Come out.
- Are you crazy? - What have you done?
- See... - Come out.
Are you crazy?
My heart is beating so fast.
Come out.
- What if someone had got hurt? - Come out.
I didn't do it intentionally.
How can you say that?
- What have you done? - You crashed the car.
Come out.
Are you drunk?
What happened?
Sorry, sir. Sorry, sir.
I mistakenly put the gear in reverse.
It's okay. It's okay. Did anyone get hurt?
Give me the phone!
Tina!
Shakti, what are you doing?
Get her.
What happened?
She initiated a server transfer, sir.
You need to stop this, Shakti.
I am trying.
Can't stop the transfer, sir.
Shakti, just focus.
What should I do?
- What happened? - I had to terminate GammaRoad, sir.
What?
I had no option, sir.
Are you out of your mind?
Are you serious?
You had to take control of it, damnit.
Dealer's identity, evidence, everything is destroyed.
There were two convenience stores in our area.
One big one small.
One day the big store closed down,
so everyone started going to the smaller store.
Hippy is that smaller store, sir,
which we have control of.
Now, we won't go to all the dealers, they will come to us.
Our new Cyber Crime task force
has conducted one of the biggest crackdowns
on the online drug market.
Drugs worth millions were seized,
and dozens of dealers were arrested.
This is a warning to all those criminals,
who think they can hide in the dark web behind a mask.
Now we will catch you.
First, we'll break you
and then send you to jail.
Now, you can ask questions.
- Sir... Sir... - One by one! One by one!
One by one! One by one! Ma'am, you please.
Sir, who is on this new team you assembled?
I am sorry, papa.
But why do you feel this isn't suicide?
From the network provider, we got her call data records.
Scanned Ruhi's social media.
But didn't find anything suspicious.
Why was she taking such pictures?
- Ma'am, Piya can't be found. - What nonsense.
No one can help me.
For all we know, the guy is already blackmailing her.
- Then how do we track him? - The same way he tracks his victims.
Damn, I'm crushing on him.
