Actually I for one am not convinced that cyber warfare is the way to go. The one off hacking events that have happened (e.g. Pentagon) etc, are I believe just due to the fact that agencies around the world do not give priority to safeguarding against cyber warfare. Once it becomes a sizeable threat, they will, and I believe it then will have a very short span of usefulness.
I think we would need a huge jump in IT intellect before we can think about undertaking cyber warfare. But again, I may be wrong as after all my IT knowledge is not that awesome.
well i would have to agree with you on certain issues and they creat a flaw in my mind sometimes .
what is disappointing me in this thread is the lack of research the members are facing and most of them are posting their personal views tough i respect them.
Sir the Cyberwarfare is constantly been ununderstood , Its not Hacking we are talking about.
Hacking a computer system is a WALK IN THE PARK:
Cyberwarfare is a phantom of actions taken to achieve an Ultimate goal , based on different aspects of using Cyber as a battlefield.
Explanation what Cyberwarfare consists on!
Hacking:
Virus:
Spamming:
DOS attacks:
Search engine alterations:
BOT attacks:
Spying:
malwares:
torjans:
e-mail spams: & much much more .
They all must be used in a series to acheive a common goal
Where the battle would take place?
The cyber warfare terrain includes all aspects of the Internet from the
backbones of the web, to the Internet Service Providers, to the varying types of data communication mediums and network equipment. The terrain does not end in a field, mountain range, or a coastline, rather the cyber warfare terrain encompasses the cities, communities, and the world, in which we live. The 21st century battlefield is comprised of many components that include the Internet and all things that connect from a computer to the Internet. This would include: web servers, enterprise information systems, client server systems, datacommunication media [i.e., Cable, DSL, T1-T3, OC12-OC48, frame relay, ATM, varying types of satellites, oceanic cables, etc.], network equipment, and the desktops/laptops that are in our businnesses and homes. The terrain will also encompass information systems like the electrical grids, telecommunication systems, and various corporate and military robotics systems.
Does it makes any sense ???
Hope done so the question , by the way i dont agree that USAF is not concious about This warfare please look at Airforce.com
And yeah US has put 5 billion dollors in to provide security to the network systems ..i think its enough to understand what they are upto!
