Delhi Police goes ‘stick’ shopping to fight Porn

With Delhi Police’s new step towards fighting cyber crime, one would have to do much more than just deleting the porn material in computers. In a technical move, Delhi Police has decided to use 'porn detection sticks', which are USB devices with special software to bring back pornographic content, even the one that has been deleted.

Other than fighting cyber crime, it would also be used to catch paedophiles, exes playing revenge porn, and sex criminals who use photos and videos of their victims for extorting money or other blackmails.

The said software can scan computers for porn images, videos and chats, no matter if they are present in the system or not. While detecting and analysing faces, flesh tones, shapes and curves, it leaves no trace that it was used, making it immensely useful in a developing case that requires secrecy.

The cops are presently shopping for these sticks, and after three months, they would have a better handle on cyber crime. The Cyber Cell is going to be revamped, and state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure will be used to investigate cases effectively. They would also procure EnCase Forensic, computer forensics software of global repute, forensic workstations, email examiners and digital intelligence servers.
