You could actually say that from the attacker points of view, you should change your methods permanently to avoid tracking / fingerprinting.

- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoExactly; even individuals know that good opsec means changing your footprint; why would full state actors not do so?
- ryanlol 9y agoBecause it would almost certainly diminish their offensive capabilities.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoI suppose considering the cost (time, money, effort) it would have to be used somewhat carefully, but I would expect it to improve offensive capabilities to be able to make attacks that don't look like you. But agreed that it would have to be rationed out, in order to not lose ground in redoing things.
- ryanlol 9y agoSuch capabilities obviously exist, but are almost never worth deploying. Attribution rarely seems to be a significant concern for the people running these ops.
- Kalium 9y agoAdditionally, human beings are lazy. Getting people to stick to what look like pointlessly complex processes is not a trivial matter.
