When the student became the master-A tale of perseverance
During my first year in engineering college I attended a lecture on cyber crime by a guest faculty. It was my first foray into the subject. The possibilities as demonstrated during the lecture simply blew me away.
I started looking into opportunities to expand my knowledge and did a certification from Lucidius Tech,Delhi. Next step was to get some practical experience. The only way was to get an internship with the cyber crime department. That was easier said than done. Nobody in the history of that department had ever allowed an intern. The mechanism was simply not present and as a result the officers were reluctant to allow me to continue.
I used to sit outside their offices for hours in the hope that they would allow me to at least speak to them. It took me almost a month of waiting outside offices and pleading that I finally received all the necessary permissions. I was the first intern in the history of Bihar Police department.
Once the internship started, I discovered that the technical know-how available to them was simply limited to tracing IP addresses from network providers.
I taught them the latest developments and tools that they could use. In return they taught me how to deal with victims and perpetrators, how to investigate a case etc.
After the end of my internship I stayed in contact with the department and provided them with technical help from time to time.
The following year I got a call from the head of the department whether I would be interested in teaching cyber crime to their newly appointed police officers. He was impressed with the techniques I had taught to the department officers during the internship. I was ecstatic.
That my folks is the story of my journey from an intern to a guest lecturer on cyber crime for the police department through sheer grit and perseverance.
