the militarization of cyberspace
Among the intelligence and part of the info-sec community the rumbling word is Cyber War, some of the most prominent cyber war mongers are arguing the 2009 attack that targeted Google and at least 20 other major corporations can be considered the cyber 9/11. I’m hearing a lot about cyber war insanity, such cyber war non-proliferation. Does it mean that some cyber command can send a drone and blow up my bedroom since they discover that I’m writing an exploit ? Will be illegal to install and use nmap? Tools like metasploit will be considered weapons of mass destruction? The “Kill Switch” would give power to the US president to turn off the domestic internet, considering that the main root name servers are hosted inside the USA, what would be the consequences for the worldwide internet traffic?
The sad true is that this cyber hysteria will be used to lock down the freedom on the internet and give to the military unlimited power in the fifth domain.
Quoting Mr. Bruce Schneier, i advise everyone to Refuse to be Terrorized from such creepy and sensational news such this:
You achieve security only with real security !
