Black Hat Talk on Chinese Cyber Crime Pulled
- rick_2047 16y agoWe all know this info is going to get out in some way or the other, but I won't hold my breath coz it may take too long.
- mdwrigh2 16y agoDoes anyone know what "open source attack tool" they'll be talking about?
- 16s 16y agoReading the article, it talks of Cyber Army and Cyber War. Reminded me of a quote from this months Crypto Gram: "... in what the media has mislabeled as 'cyberwar.' The attacks against Estonian websites in 2007 were simple hacking attacks by ethnic Russians angry at anti-Russian policies; these were denial-of-service attacks, a normal risk in cyberspace and hardly unprecedented. A real-world comparison might be if an army invaded a country, then all got in line in front of people at the DMV so they couldn't renew their licenses. If that's what war looks like in the 21st century, we have little to fear. " -- Bruce Schneier
- tsally 16y agoFor that it's worth, the DoD doesn't actually define "cyber warfare". In fact, in 2006 it depreciated the concept of "information warfare" (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_13.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_13.pdf). The closest concept the DoD has is "cyber operations" which are meant to "operate and defend the Global Information Grid" (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp1_02.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp1_02.pdf). Personally I don't think Scheiner focused enough on the fact that "cyber war" is essentially a media construction.
