First, Col Williamson is a Staff Judge Advocate, commonly known as a JAG officer, not the head of some c yber force. I am struggling to think of a weapon that is only defensive. Right after the shield was invented some guy beat another guy to death with it, I'm sure. Wasn't it von Clausewitz that wrote that the best defense is a good offense? - Paul - _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
