So Michael Hayden gave one of the keynote speeches at BlackHat 2010 in Vegas. I
thought there were a few funny points:

"We are all Poland on the web." I.E. the offence right now is at a distinct
advantage. He had some funny things to say about how everyone was working to make
natural defensive barriers, but in reality, most people are trying to make toll booths.

Various other quotes:

"A consequence of the unique structure of cyberspace is that fundamental physical
precepts may not be applicable"

"In cyber you can never do anything in this domain without something going pop in
somebody's physical space."

"The characteristic of the domain is that all the advantage goes to the attacker".
This isn't really true - takes a lot of hard work to make it seem true though!

You can, of course, watch it here:
