Companies Go on the Offensive
June 26, 2012 Added by:Mark Baldwin
Being the victim of an attack is not fun and it is easy to understand why businesses would like to take a more active stance against the attackers. Unfortunately, businesses that go down this path are likely to run into technical and legal problems. Let’s examine some of the possible outcomes...

Information Warfare and Cyberspace
May 30, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
Why do I keep running into the phrase Information Warfare? If the discussion is about cyber and warfare in cyberspace, why use the phrase Information Warfare? Has cyber ‘anything’ become so overused that we need to resort to using a much broader term to interest people in a cybersecurity discussion?

Off Topic: What to do about Conspiracy Theorists?
May 21, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
I received an alert recently about an article dealing with Electronic Warfare or EW. Since EW has always been one of the components of Information Operations I decided to take a look. Mistake. My very first indicator, before I even had to think, was that the title was in ALL CAPS...

AQ, AQAP, BVD Bombs, CIA, INSPIRE, Media, Moles... Oh My
May 09, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
Al-Qaeda has a plan to leverage the internet even more than they already are. I believe they will continue to put the magazine out and perhaps inspire others to make clones. The ubiquitous nature of the internet will only serve to allow their propaganda to be loosed upon us all...

Applications Targeting Apple Products
May 03, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
When I was told of a new mobile application distribution system which avoids Apple's scrutiny, my alarm antennas began quivering. Now combine this with who is doing it - Russian developers - and I get an even more dreadful feeling in the pit of my stomach...

The First Cyber Shot in a Chinese Jasmine Spring
April 01, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
This does not look like a US military action against China, that is certain. Whoever put the message together seems to be dumbing it down to aid in translation. It’s as if it’s intended for an American audience, but nobody in their right mind would or should do that...

Jihadi Information Warfare: The Next Wave
February 14, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
There have been tutorials on SQLi and Metasploit online for a long time, but only recently have we seen them translated into Arabic and placed on the technical forums. This means that even the low end of the technically capable Jihadist's can now boot up these tools hack a site…

February 10, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
They can use the most elegant of solutions and nimbly change their tactics, on the fly create/edit code to defeat the defender's tactics, and use the most simplistic of attacks in the effort to gain access KEEP it as long as possible to succeed in their own ends...

China’s Cyber Strategy – Too Much or Too Little?
January 10, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding

Neuromancing The Cyberwars
November 17, 2011 Added by:Scot Terban
It’s pretty damned hard to determine who did what and where on the net. Digital forensics only gets you so far - compromised machines can be tampered with in so many ways to make it look like someone did something, and these guys want to launch cruise missiles against nation states over a DDoS?

Should We Strike Iran? How About the Information War?
November 16, 2011 Added by:Joel Harding
A pre-emptive information strike would only cause the Iranians to involuntarily spasm and deploy suicide teams to attack US and other targets worldwide. Anything less would just be posturing for political purposes and could possibly result in more senseless deaths...
