Six students from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies(UPES) at Dehradun in Uttarkhand have been working here since 8 am on Saturday to develop a software tool to prevent hacking of highly-sensitive online documents of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and divert the attacker to a random user. They were among 440 B.Tech students from 13 states , working on 21 different problems assigned to them by ISRO as a part of a two-day ‘Hackathon-2017’ — part of the effort to realise the “digital India mission” dream of PM Narendra Modi. The students, all from the third year B.Tech courses, have to complete their task in 36 hours and submit it by 8 pm on Sunday. The UPES students — Neeta Chaudhary, Shristi Jain, Shubhi Dixit, Simran Aggarwal, Devershi Chandra and Utkarsh Malik, pursuing Cyber Security and Forensic Science course — were developing a software, “Cyber Eye’’, which they claimed would identify address resolution protocol (ARP) spoofing and immediately hide the IP address of a computer or machine to which the hacker or the attacker wants to have access for stealing information or sabotaging operations.
