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
