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?

Gravedigger Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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.

gimmeaplane Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 "we've got a shit ton of mountain dew cans and pop-tarts laying around, but the operators are achieving some great things." This. 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.

gimmeaplane Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 From Vanity Fair http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2011/09/chinese-hacking-201109 Pollet says the victims knew that something strange was going on because they kept getting locked out of their e-mail accounts for no apparent reason. 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.
