Funny you should mention that. This is the latest article from the US Army mad scientist blog. It is analyzing recent articles by Chinese military analysts: https://madsciblog.tradoc.army.mil/225-the-pla-close-combat-in-the-information-age-and-the-blade-of-victory/ On Wed, Apr 8, 2020 at 13:24 Dave Aitel <dave.aitel () gmail com> wrote:
So when I worked at the NSA I worked with some Booz Allen Hamilton people, and they were extremely helpful but wore suits all the time so it was a bit confusing. But I think that time has changed me in the sense that I kinda read and watch everything like it is SIGINT. For example, imagine if you could get access to the latest Russian government vulnerability research - you would definitely DO that right? You'd watch it and take notes even if the video had crappy sound and the presentation was super boring and in broken Google-translated English. And yet, people will put up an entire YouTube channel from PHDays and it'll have like 4 views on any given video. In that same sense, I've seen almost no analysis or discussion of the BAH paper they released a little while ago that goes into how the GRU uses cyber operations to support national interests: https://www.boozallen.com/c/insight/publication/the-logic-behind-russian-military-cyber-operations.html If they had put classification markings at the top, it would have gotten a lot more attention I think. But it's also the only paper I know of its kind. I got a lot out of it, but largely a feeling for the HUGE scope and scale of the GRU's cyber capabilities. They have a lot of success in the field! It must be a team of hundreds, just looking at all the different targets they are hitting, with all the different tool chains. In any case, I highly recommend spending the couple hours it will take to give it a deep read. You get to understand a bit more about what the Russian cyber norms really are: and it's a harsh picture. -dave _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
