http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/11/13/russia-software-tycoon-us-cyber-tracing-may-not-work/ Here's the lead: """ U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta last month said his department is developing forensics to identify the sources of cyber attacks---addressing the longstanding and key concern that cyber attackers who hit the U.S. might be able to hide their identities. But the head of Russia's biggest antivirus software company isn't sure the forensics will work. Eugene Kaspersky, Chief Executive of Kaspersky Lab, whose products are used on more than 300 million systems worldwide, says users of the attack-attribution techniques that he is aware of can still be fooled. """ The thing about what Panetta said last month was that he didn't say it like that. It's better written down like this: U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta last month said his department is developing "forensics" to identify the sources of cyber attacks. See how those quote marks make it so much clearer? Defense Secretaries like to think they're beyond having to make quote marks with their hands to make themselves understood. Or, as the Wire would say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=E2Fv-nJCfrk#t=57s -dave -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference.
