July 22, 201114 yr You Hack, We Shoot: Pentagon Discusses Armed Counterstrikes To Cyberattacks ...To that end, some senior defense officials are increasingly pushing for the US to retaliate against cyber-sieges with counterstrikes – that could ultimately include launching a “land-based attack” on the perpetrator...
July 22, 201114 yr This is an absolutely appropriate response. People need to know we will not tolerate any malicious action taken against us.
July 22, 201114 yr This is an absolutely appropriate response. People need to know we will not tolerate any malicious action taken against us. While I agree for attacks we can prove came from another government or state-sponsored agency, who do you shoot when someone like anonymous or lulzsec hacks critical infrastructure and does real damage?

July 22, 201114 yr Here comes the war with China... That's the best plan I've heard yet on how to solve our debt with them.
July 23, 201114 yr I'm in! You're joking, right...? Take a looksy at their IADS and tell me how much tac airlifting you'll be doing?
July 23, 201114 yr You're joking, right...? Take a looksy at their IADS and tell me how much tac airlifting you'll be doing? He'll be tac airlifting in survey teams to check out the effectiveness of our nukes. I might be breaking OpSec, but ICBM > IADS Good. Let's get it over with. Inevitrable
July 23, 201114 yr You're joking, right...? Take a looksy at their IADS and tell me how much tac airlifting you'll be doing? The sexual tension with us and china has been a slow boil for decades; time to fuck and get it over with.

August 3, 201114 yr Hahaha, nice hoodies Rainman! Last year at the AFSPC WEPTAC, one of the new network operations squadron commanders spoke about how things were going. The line I remember most was something like "we've got a shit ton of mountain dew cans and pop-tarts laying around, but the operators are achieving some great things." A lot of these guys were recruited from couches and lazy-boys from around the country, but they are doing some good shit. I would highly recommend that everyone try and get in on a secret or TS cyber warfare brief if you have the chance. The line between domains is fading quickly.

Also, I'm fairly sure they aren't the first nerds in the AF. Doing S word now and see all the people file through the cyber courses. They're different. I don't care how they do what they do, I just don't want our stuff showing up in our enemies' inventories. Even better if we get on and stay on the offense.

But the Adversary stayed under the radar by making an ingeniously malevolent move: taking control of the companies’ virtual I.T. help desks, impersonating their I.T. help-desk staff, and answering employees’ service complaints themselves. “Attackers want to be a parasite, want to make sure the host is happy,” says Pollet. “So if they know the help desk is going to get overwhelmed with complaints, they decide, ‘Let’s just solve these problems ourselves.’ ” So, if you're help desk suddenly starts being helpful...you've been hacked.
