released NSA document detailed by the New York Times, incidents of cyberwarfare are on the rise among nation states as countries forgo typical violence in favor of a more hands-off approach The report specifically refers to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, but this only scratches the surface of virtual warfare Russia, China and the United Kingdom are also major players in the emerging conflict With network vulnerabilities and encrypted code taking the place of troop movements and radio messages, this new battlefield is both subtle and potentially devastating but are countries the only ones at risk Here's a closer look at cyberwarfare, and how it could make its way into your network through vulnerabilities Evolved Criminals Cyberattacks are common just ask Target, Home Depot or JP Morgan The aim of the malicious actors behind these attacks is typically money, personal information or anything that makes a profit Cyberwarfare, meanwhile, is something different altogether According to a NATO white paper, it has the intrinsic properties of malicious code, as well as effects that classify it as a cyberweapon In other words, profit isn't the primary goal, but rather the destruction or damage of tangible property The NSA document claims this kind of violence between Iran and the United States made its way into cyberspace on a day-to-day basis David J Rothkopf, author of National Insecurity, argues this was because the potential cost of using nuclear weapons was so high that no one felt they could afford to use them Cyberweapons, meanwhile, could be precisely targeted for maximum effect and minimal splash damage It's clear the United States now takes the cyberwarfare threat seriously In fact, the White House recently approved the creation of a new agency the US Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center CTIIC The idea is to prevent the kind of siloing that often happens when individual agencies such as the FBI, CIA and NSA get credible information about threats but refuse to share When it comes to war, however, there's no room for lone wolves Crossing Over For enterprises, the spread of virtual warfare almost seems like a relief With nation states focused on one another, could businesses fly under the radar The New York Times, however, notes that in 2012 Iran likely launched several distributed denial-of-service DDoS attacks against large financial institutions, including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase More recently, North Korea was tagged as the prime suspect in the Sony Pictures attack There's also the emerging problem of mandated vulnerabilities, such as those now required by the Chinese government for all computer hardware imports As reported by The Register, new counter-terrorism laws in the country demand that all computers come with a backdoor which officials can access on a need-to-know basis The big issue Knowledge of these backdoors means not everyone is going to play fair both governments and malicious actors could exploit them for gain The bottom line for businesses New cyber battlegrounds are one more threat vector in addition to software designed to steal banking information or personal data, there's also malicious code being developed to exploit large-scale networks or impede system function The Devil You Know While it's tempting to point fingers at high-level hackers and clever coding, the reality is that cyberweapons make their way into enterprise networks in a much simpler way known vulnerabilities According to an article from Computing, almost half of all data breaches in 2014 came from known vulnerabilities And as noted by the Daily Caller, government networks aren't much better Over 500 vulnerabilities are deeply embedded in US Navy systems, while Microsoft just recently patched a critical issue in Group Policy that put computers at full risk of compromise, according to Computerworld Between these existing vulnerabilities and those purpose-built into systems at the behest of government agencies, enterprises need a better way to evaluate third-party software and hardware or run the risk of becoming collateral damage on the new battlefield So how do companies protect their interests The first step is vulnerability detection that is, what already exists in a network that could give malicious code an easy way in Next is end-to-end application security What's being developed, both in-house and by third parties, that could open new avenues of attack Think of it like reconnaissance Companies need a way to see what's coming before it's too late Nation states are finding new, more subtle ways to attack their enemies, and enterprises could get caught in the crossfire In a world of evolving cyberwarfare, cyberdefense must be a priority Photo Source Wikimedia Commons http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/566195.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/566195.shtml 2015-04-05 04:22:14 - Hackaday : A while ago, nsayer was

Although details of the program are scant, Snowden tells WIRED in an extensive interview with James Bamford that algorithms would scour massive repositories of metadata and analyze it to differentiate normal network traffic from anomalous or malicious traffic Armed with this knowledge, the NSA could instantly and autonomously identify, and block, a foreign threat More than this, though, Snowden suggests MonsterMind could one day be designed to return fire automatically, without human intervention Snowden raised two issues with the program the source of an attack could be spoofed to trick the US into attacking an innocent third party, and the violation of the fourth amendment since the NSA would effectively need to monitor all domestic network traffic for the program to work Also in

video game named Battlezone In it you drive a wire-frame tank around a landscape, shooting enemy tanks, UFOs and missiles The US Army even commissioned a version of the game as a training simulator I remember spending many hours and a significant amount of my pocket money trying to defend against the enemy onslaught Today I do much the same thing, but now it s done by educating businesses on the cyber-threats that they face, and helping them develop the best-practice process and technology required to safeguard their people, productivity and profits Good security practices are no longer optional or just nice to have The age of naivety has well and truly passed, and businesses that continue to operate with a head in the sand attitude are not able to effectively maximise the returns on their assets assets that are increasingly digital, portable, and greedily desired by competitors and developing nations alike A recent Akamai State of the Internet report has shown that the combination of Indonesia and China represent 71pourcents of the global attack traffic This is not stereotypical dysfunctional teenaged hackers, this is targeted, industrialised intellectual property theft One of the biggest blockers to effective security management is the belief that it is an IT problem, and that IT will solve it If this were true, then there would be no spam, no viruses, and no cyber-crime Yet 20 years of the best minds in the best IT companies, developing the best products has left us where we are, heading upstream without a paddle Security is a people problem, and until it becomes just business-as-usual, integrated into every business process, we will make little headway We already know how to deal with safety safety is everyone s problem We just haven t realised that information security is business safety, and is also everyone s problem The security foundations are able to deal with yesterday s problems patching, antivirus and firewalls but they are no longer enough to keep us safe from today s problems Today we live in a portable world, where the ability to work anywhere, anytime and have complete connectivity whilst doing so has meant that the implied protections of the past no longer exist Home networks are not as well protected as business networks Portable devices are left unprotected in airport lounges Social networks allow us to connect to our attackers in unimaginable ways Every protection we have built can and will eventually be bypassed It is no longer if but when The planned Data Breach Disclosure legislation in Australia will help us to help ourselves The intent is not to blame the victims, but instead give businesses incentives to protect their own assets, and break the culture of silence A company director is more likely to support a security improvement programme if they are the one who will be held personally liable for a data breach, the average cost of which in Australia was 213M last year Just like the Battlezone game, we need a radar to tell us when attackers are approaching, not discover it when having to clean up the mess Most businesses spend too much on protecting from attack, and not enough understanding the threat landscape they operate in, and detecting when the protections have failed In a video game we can just insert another coin, press start and try again We don t have that luxury with our

The Atlantic To put a finer point on my disagreement I am against the demystifying of cyber weapons to show they have humanitarian value Cyber weapons do not have peace keeping or humanitarian value The inconsistency of cyber weapons means that they are not integrated into an order of battle meaning, to be effective they have to be in use all the time and the results gained can be used to plan operations If an operations commander were to go to a cyber warfare group and ask for something that a kinetic team could accomplish, perhaps turning off the lights in a city at midnight tomorrow to send a message or support a planned operation, the likely answers would be 1 Let me see if we already own something there This means that the target has been compromised in the past and a rootkit may have been left behind Of course there is no guarantee because the rootkit could have been discovered, the machine that was infected could have been replaced or even egress firewall rule changes could block access 2 We can attempt to gain access, but no promises This means the cyber warriors will have to collect data on the target and attempt a cold notice infiltration Unless there are servers with sql injection or easy to hit buffer overflows, exploitation will not work 3 We can deploy some high speed commandos to place a key logger on someone's computer, and nab a password that will hopefully get us access to the important systems Think about the game Splinter Cell This could work - but you would already need operatives in the area briefed and ready to breach the facility IMAGE Hey buddy, whats you PGP passphrase 4 Don t you have guys for that I keep reading about these JSOC commandos This equates to we cannot get the job done in the allotted time, please look for other solutions to your warfighting needs The demystifying part is what really gets me Cyber weapons rely on secrecy to work The POTUS can t go on TV and say We will go with a cyber solution utilizing rootkits we have intalled over the years in their military network That just sounds bad It confirms the now widely-held notion that we are the world's Cyber-overlord and we're constantly looking for ways to put the rest of the world under our Cyber-thumb Announcing the intended use of Cyberwar tools ahead of time is just bad strategy the target would suddenly start scrubbing critical machines, changing passwords, and tightening firewall rules Do you remember the first Gulf War where plenty of jokes were made about Iraq getting all of its useful intel from CNN A repeat of the fiasco would occur if the government tried to demystify its cyberwar capabilities It isn't hard to imagine a scenario where a forewarned adversary will prepare systems to observe an infiltration, and thus gain invaluable knowledge of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures used by friendly forces In the cyberwar world, giving away your methods is a good way to see them turned back on you It would also invalidate your DOPE IMAGE I wouldn't be here if people just ignored patches and clicked on everything in emailbut noooo DOPE is an acronym used by trained marksmen around the world, meaning Data On Previous Engagement This means the operator of a kinetic weapon system, such as a sniper and his rifle, have prepared ballistic data on the effect of his projectile on a target at a predetermined range and with consideration for atmospheric conditions, as well as target attributes such as movement and vulnerability In cyber warfare a cold notice infiltration means you don't have any prior data on the target so you do everything from footprint and recon to exploitation in one step often in a very short timeframe This is opposite of a hot notice infiltration which means all the steps to infiltrate a target are done individually and with a lot of prep time We could also talk about the usefulness of a kinetic option to deliver a cyber payload but I feel this blog post has already hit the point of over

for Finnish-based F-secure said we are ill-equipped to battle the growing threats coming out of government cyberhacking divisions We can protect against the everyday criminal threats, he explained, citing banking trojans These, he says, are the equivalent to petty criminals stopping cars at gunpoint to steal passengers' wallets they don't care whose card they steal, as long as they get it In comparison Stuxnet one of the viruses Hyppönen and F-secure took down did not look like that gun-touting street criminal -- Stuxnet looked like James Bond James Bond has unlimited resources and training, if James Bond wants to kill you he will kill you It doesn't matter if you want to run and hide, he will kill you It doesn't matter if you have a helmet, he will kill you That's why it's so hard to defend against these viruses, given the resources building these attacks -- we're not giving up, but it's very hard Viruses like Stuxnet, he explained, attack programmable logic controllers

cyber-warfare can physically inflict serious damage upon any infrastructure in the world, even without an internet connection In the words of former CIA Director Michael Hayden The rest of the world is looking at this and saying, Clearly someone has legitimated this kind of activity as acceptable international conduct Governments are now alert to the enormous uncertainty created by cyber-instruments and especially worried about cyber-sabotage against critical infrastructure As US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee in June 2011 the next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber-attack that cripples our power systems, our grid, our security systems, our financial systems, our governmental systems On the other hand, a lack of understanding about instances of cyber-warfare such as Stuxnet has led to confused expectations about what cyber-attacks can achieve Some, however, remain excited about the possibilities of this new form of warfare For example, retired US Air Force Colonel Phillip Meilinger expects that a bloodless yet potentially devastating new method of war is coming However, under current technological conditions, instruments of cyber-warfare are not sophisticated enough yet to deliver a decisive blow to the adversary As a result, cyber-capabilities still need to be used

hosted by US Cyber Command at Fort Meade, Md Attorneys and scholars face a variety of complex legal issues arising around the use of this new technology, Cyber Command chief of staff Rear Adm Margaret Klein said at the conference However, she was quick to add, as other speakers also added, that basic agreed-upon legal principles exist For example the United States government believes that operations in cyberspace should follow parallel rules for military operations in the real or kinetic world Klein said that although the leap to cyber warfare represents a shift in the way that the military carries out its operations, it is not dissimilar to other technological leaps that were also accompanied by a lag in the development of related legal norms Unfortunately, the world is now moving at a much faster pace, and glacial development of the laws of cyber war is not something Klein wants to see We don't have that much time, she said

West DEFCON-18-West-Laws-Cyber-Warfarepdf https wwwdefconorg images defcon-18 dc-18-presentations West DEFCON-18-West-Laws-Cyber-Warfare-WPpdf This paper argues that the current rules of war are adequate for addressing the unique issues that are encountered as a result of conducting and defending against cyber warfare The author begins by giving a survey of the laws that have the biggest impact on cyber warfare Next, the author describes several paradigms that have come about as a result of cyber warfare, followed by a direct rebuttal The author then asserts five reasons for why the US should not enter into an international treaty for cyber warfare 1 combatant commanders already have proper guidelines for conducting warfare even in the information age 2 fields of law are seldom demarcated by technology 3 an unintended consequence of a cyber warfare law is that it may pose an undue limitation on a primarily non-lethal strategic deterrence 4 our adversaries are unlikely to comply and 5 the rate of technology growth will outpace the ability for an international cyber regime to produce responsive policy, while the flexibility allotted by the UN Charter and laws of war are able to absorb technological advances The author concludes that the current UN Charter and Laws of War should continue to govern cyber warfare and that creating an international treaty or law for cyber warfare would do more harm than good and seriously cripple our ability to conduct war IMAGE http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/364427.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/364427.shtml

Cyberspace , the Pentagon states that while the threat to intellectual property is often less visible than the threat to critical infrastructure, it may be the most pervasive cyber threat today Pervasive, yes but not necessarily the most dangerous In 2003, I founded my company, with the help of the federal government s Small Business Initiative Research SBIR program, to develop products to counter these advanced unknown, stealth cyberthreats today often referred to today within the security community as Advanced Persistent Threats APT While the APT threat is significant, the attacker can take months or even sometimes years to steal the information However, the recent attacks made by small hacking groups illustrate a highly more tangible, immediate, and potentially more severe form of economic damage It is appropriate to classify these acts as asymmetric warfare, and possibly as a type of cyberterrorism In contrast to APT threat actors and other traditional cyber criminals, cyberterrorists are not motivated by monetary gain Instead, the cyberterrorist wants to cause grave harm or economic damage as quickly as possible, and to get attention for it Attacks may be economic, political, or even shutting down the power in the dead of winter The technical aspects of the attack may be similar to APT, but the intent and goal is wholly different Cyberterrorism first was a buzzword in the late 90 s associated with power outages and explosions orchestrated over computer networks These types of attacks seemed like the digital equivalent of IED s While traditional terrorists clearly use the Internet to recruit and communicate, we operate under the assumption that the ground of action is still the physical world think suicide bombers But, recent events have shown that attacks don t have to be kinetic to cause damage The ground of action can be entirely in cyberspace and damages can be measured in billions of dollars of stock value and the threats to persons are very real Edit There are different views on the definition of cyberterrorism In 'Computer Attack and Cyberterrorism Vulnerabilities and Policy Issues for Congress', Clay Wilson defines two forms of cyberterrorism Effects-based Cyberterrorism exists when computer attacks result in effects that are disruptive enough to generate fear comparable to a traditional act of terrorism, even if done by criminals Intent-based Cyberterrorism exists when unlawful or politically motivated computer attacks are done to intimidate or coerce a government or people to further a political objective, or to cause grave harm or severe economic damage Since the early 2000 s, electronic jihadists ie, Younes Tsouli, Mohammad Peerbhoy, etc and other hacking groups many can be researched on wwwzone-horg have been content with web defacement and the occasional DDOS But, these actions never gained the media attention like the recent spree of hacks in 2011 This is, in part, due to the advent of social networking Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once stated Publicity is the oxygen of terrorism Anyone studied in matters of terrorism knows that the primary goal of terrorism is media attention The act is secondary to the message Younes Tsouli and Mohammad Peerbhoy, both criminal hackers working with Islamic extremist groups A small sampling of criminal hacking groups operating in the Middle East All of these groups are at least as-skilled as the current Lulzsec Anonymous hackers, as evidenced by similar techniques, use of SQL injection, etc The myth that traditional terrorist groups don't have access to hacking skill is simply outdated In the words of William Gibson, Terrorism is ultimately about branding Every press release, tweet, and claim is part of that brand to raise awareness for their cause or message And, the media can function as an extension of the group s propaganda machine As TechCrunch columnist Paul Carr recently pointed out in his piece on the media coverage of the now defunct LulzSec group, most journalists were all too happy to hop aboard the Lulz Boat and parrot propaganda verbatim without a hint of criticism and provide celebrity fluff reporting Paul especially calls out online journalists and bloggers as downright shameful for showing support for these criminal hackers Gene Spafford, the professor and director at Purdue University and a leading security expert, has also objected to how reporters romanticize criminal hackers, drawing a parallel to computer virus authors in the early 90 s portrayed as swashbuckling, electronic pirates pointing out that their legacy is now costing billions in damages Even in recent days, reporters have used lofty, inconsistent terms such as masked crusaders, a loose hacker movement and an online activist group to describe Anonymous The fear of retribution by the criminal hackers within this group is real No one wants to become a target News organizations need to take a step back and take a close look at how they are covering these incidents and make sure they aren't enabling these groups propaganda machine Edit as a case in point, notice the significant lack of the word 'criminal' when media reports on Anonymous Lulzsec To illustrate, here is how reporters bloggers described Anonymous in the 24 hours following the Monsanto Booz Allen Hamilton attacks Online activist

changing, we must continue to highlight that a real criminal is at the other end of the keyboard, and that he is persistent and will keep coming back While the DoD outlines some important initiatives

Allow us to explain what is going on You can see and read us, we cannot get to you Out bound email is also a possible problem so email rbnexploit gmailcom if and when you can to get messages out and we will relay them to their destination To explain to everyone else this is a full cyber siege of Georgia s cyber space As an update within the community, our friends in Germany had managed to pierce the siege and gain a direct routing to Georgia via AS3320 DTAG Deutsche Telekom for a few hours this afternoon For the time being AS8359 COMSTAR Direct Moscow region network CJSC COMSTAR Direct Smolenskaya Sennaya Sq, 27 block 2 119121 Moscow, Russia, have intercepted this and are redirecting this route of cyber traffic via their servers The good news is other German servers are now also attempting to access Georgia servers directly We are receiving further offers to help reroute traffic which is underway in an attempt to lift the siege Further offers are welcome For those of a technical nature we show the latest server routing map see diagram below which clearly shows the Russian based servers AS12389 ROSTELECOM, AS8342 RTCOMM, and AS8359 COMSTAR, controlling all traffic to Georgia s key servers For example here AS28751 CAUCASUS NET AS Caucasus Network Tbilisi, Georgia AS20771 DeltaNet Autonomous System DeltaNet ltd 0179 Tbilisi Georgia Even the Turkish often RBN controlled server AS9121 TTNet is now being blocked via COMSTAR, we understand via colleagues in Istanbul, the Turkish authorities are trying to regain control of these servers and provide direct routing to Georgia At this time all Georgia government web sites are unobtainable from US, UK, FR, and DE cyber space, as examples All blog colleagues elsewhere please contact us if you are able to gain direct web access inbound We also relay, as requested, the warning not to depend on any web sites that 'appear' of a Georgia official source, but are without any recent statements ie Friday

Airport The Government of Georgia confirms that at 19 00 local time, Russian aircraft bombed the civilian airport in Tbilisi There is no military activity of any kind at the airport The attack occurred several hours after Georgia offered a formal ceasefire to Russia, via Russia's Ambassador to Georgia, and declared Georgia's readiness to immediately start negotiations with the Russian Federation on the termination of hostilities The Secretary of Georgia's National Security Commission, Alexander Lomaia released the following statement The attack on Tbilisi Airport offers further evidence that Russia's invasion of Georgia is not about Abkhazia and South Ossetia The goal of the Russian Federation-which today also blockaded our Black Sea ports and is relentlessly bombing civilian sites throughout the country-is to overthrow the democratically elected government of this small European nation The following graphics please click to enlarge released today show the extent

RELEASE Monday, August 11 - 20 20 Tbilisi, Georgia UPDATE URGENT Russian Ground Forces Invade Georgia, Georgian Army Retreats to Defend Capital Government Appeals for Urgent International Intervention At this hour, the invading army of the Russian Federation has entered Georgian territory outside the conflict zones of Abkhazia and South Ossetia The Georgian army is retreating to defend the capital The Government is urgently seeking international intervention to prevent the fall of Georgia and the further loss of life We no longer know the limits of the invading Russian army Russia seems intent on overthrowing the democratically elected government of Georgia and occupying the country, said Alexander Lomaia, the Secretary of the National Security Council As a consequence, the National Security Council has just decided to bring the Georgian army to Tbilisi in order to defend the capital and prevent the fall of Georgia European political leaders, including Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, are in Tbilisi meeting now with the President of Georgia to seek a way to stop the Russian onslaught The Government of Georgia announced a unilateral cease fire on Sunday morning, withdrew its forces from South Ossetia, and sued for peace Despite the ceasefire and withdrawal and in defiance of outraged international criticism of its invasion of Georgia Russia is continuing its fierce offensive that has left hundreds of civilians dead and thousands injured Relayed - Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE

servers is starting to show signs of weakness or rather weaknesses are being exploited Just as in The Great Escape there are always methods to bypass even the most sophisticated virtual fences Fortunately long term study of RBN Russian Business Network or Russia s FSB Cyber Warriors techniques assist Conventionally they are normally adept at trying to hide their true origins For such a siege on the scale of this one they are openly showing more of their routing than they would like to, which will assist us now and in the future In this case it helped pin point some obviously forged web sites, which are now offline, and assist in rerouting Good lessons for future cyber wars To our many readers on LentaRu we would like to stress we are not anti-Russian We have Russian based supporters and contributors However we are anti cyber criminal, hackers, and cyber war, hopefully Russia will realize this simply restricts all Internet users , including themselves, from the freedom of speech There was rightful indignation as the cyber war has extended to where the Russian news agency RIA Novosti was offline by DDos attack for 10 hours over Sunday night and Monday morning Georgia Web Status Russian based servers AS12389 ROSTELECOM, AS8342 RTCOMM, AS8359 COMSTAR and with the more recent addition of AS8631 Routing Arbiter for Moscow Internet Exchange, are still in a commanding position AS9121 TTNet of Turkey still remains routed through the Russian servers, not directly to Georgia But alternative links have been made to AS35805 UTG AS United Telecom of Georgia and other servers based in Georgia Due to this at this time the Georgian Foreign Ministry mfagovge is back online consistently and presidentgovge is also now online and showing recent announcements To demonstrate international solidarity, the web site of the President of Poland was also carrying Georgian state communications as a courtesy One interesting aspect has been presidentgovge using a US based name server, which was also offline due to DDos from Thursday and until Monday pm This could be considered a transgression by the FSB cyber warriors Russian forces on US soil Note we still show

Further attribution highlighting specific RBN Russian Business Network leadership and RBN directed spam botnet observations Specific RBN Attribution The individuals with direct responsibility for carrying out the cyber first strike on Georgia is a RBN Russian Business Network operative named Alexandr A Boykov of Saint Petersburg, Russia Also involved in the attack was a programmer and spammer from Saint Petersburg named Andrew Smirnov These men are leaders of RBN sections and are not script-kiddies or hacktivists as some have maintained of the cyber attacks on Georgia Mr Boykov has been engaged in criminal activity for some time He best known for distributing the malware VirusIsolator which downloads trojans to take control of the victims computer He has been directly involved in financial crime, and operated scam sites including Harbor Lending, Oakwood Lending, and Capital Lending Mr Boykov is also a purveyor of porn spam Mr Smirnov is known for operating a number a scam sites including canadian-pharmacy-support and canadiandiscountmeds Mr Smirnov is known to hold Russian nationalist views, and supported cutting off natural gas supplies to the Ukraine The Ukrainian authorities should note that he often travels between Russia and the Ukraine According to Spamhaus SBL64881, Mr Boykov operates a hosting service in Class C Network 791351670 24 It should be noted that the pre-invasion attacks emanated from 7913516722 Presently, there is a large-scale spam campaign underway purporting to be from the BBC which accuses the President of Georgia of being gay When
