So these are great videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/USNavalInstitute/videos You'll notice the one by General Cartwright (which we twittered/posted earlier) has about 2000 views, and all the others have like, 10. But that could just be because his video is awesome. Panels are always hard to get value out of (*cough* RSA *cough*), so watching this <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHDmiFaNi3A&feature=plcp> you get weird bits of good value and then on the other hand tidbits like "we should concentrate across the board". Who can concentrate *everywhere*? Autistics, I guess. Is the US military full of autistics? I think not. But if you have to take something away from this panel it's these three things: 1. Finding ways to get value out of cyber warfare that reach the front-line operators is very difficult. People like to talk about devolving it as a weapon down to the front-line units, but noone seems to have any idea what that looks like. 2. Bandwidth remains the single biggest problem for people in the field. 3. Situational awareness is a huge problem for people used to thinking in "maps". Imagine getting "situational awareness across the Internet". What would that be visualized as? (If you answered "Google" you might be right.) On another note, does anyone remember a science fiction series/book where the first thing they did was throw power/bandwidth blocks everywhere in the battlefields they were going into? -dave -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference.
