Here is the article I found,

You can watch his speech right here;

He is a pretty good speaker, I kinda liked his jokes..

I would recommend listing to the speech very interesting information, I think in the next few years this is going to be a very large and public theater of operations for most nations.

Apparently there is a “smoking gun” floating around that proves this program.

There story is being updated, currently I am on the fence.  It’s been a week and the fallout is less then what I would expect if this was true, rather then a misinterpretation of the screen.  It does seem pretty strait forward, a US IP and a button that says “Attack” ( not that I can read that part ).

Thing is Cyberwar is used to describe something, and I like what it’s used to describe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare

“actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation’s computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption.”

So what do we  have going on mostly right now on the Internet between groups like anon and other hacking groups or persons?

I think the best term to describe what is going on is Guerilla warfare, I think adding the term cyber to these actions is a waste of time.  The combatants and targets all exist in the cyber arena so adding the term to is is redundant.

Guerilla warfare is a perfect term,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare

“a form of irregular warfare and refers to conflicts in which a small group of combatants including, but not limited to, armed civilians (or “irregulars”) use military tactics, like ambushes, sabotage, raids, the element of surprise, and extraordinary mobility to harass a larger and less-mobile traditional army, or strike a vulnerable target, and withdraw almost immediately.”

Everything is cyberwar, a DOS attack, a DDOS attack, or skype goes down for a day CYBERWAR!

Is it really?

Forget the ‘Cyber’ part, does this look like war to you? a DDOS? Thats like everyone jumping queue in front of you for coffee.  Is it annoying? yea, war? not so much.  Really the term war is referring to two or more organized groups participating in organized conflict.  In the terms of the cyber acts people are talking about there is hardly more then one organized group (the target), if you are lucky, most targets are hardly considered organized.  Also the groups doing the attacking a either a single bot net controlled by one party or something like anon does.

So I think it’s time for another phrase to describe what is going on.

I find his opinions on things very interesting and he has a habit of approaching things totally differently then a lot of other security guys and limits the sky is falling talk.

The link is a good 25 minute talk, worth listening to, or watching.
