One of the West Point strategists wrote a whole article on how you should not use smart phones if you're a strategist. You can read it here. http://www.modernwarinstitute.org/1258-2/ Likewise, you get people who say that Cyber is not different - that "war is war". These people are all super wrong. That's like if someone came up to you and said "Business really isn't different, it's about the people, cyber didn't change that." But then you say "Everything about how you talk to people has changed." And then, if you're me, you add "LOL" to the end of that, just to be annoying and point out how backwards your new friend is. But it starts by understanding how to change terrain in cyberspace - and that starts by learning how to move a file from point A to point B, covertly. Until you've gone through that basic effort, it's hard to take a strategist seriously. Would you take an Army strategist seriously who has never dug a trench? Of course, the next generation of EINSTEIN will no doubt offer "QUANTUM-like" effects against bugs you find in your adversaries toolkits. This allows for attribution, which gives you understandable deterrence. But you can't follow any of those paths just by sitting and thinking at the creek. https://prezi.com/zayyak66yyia/what-is-a-cyber-weapon/ Of course, if any of them want to discuss this over beers at INFILTRATE <http://infiltratecon.org/>, we are more than happy. :) -dave Note: Clay Shirky was ahead of his time thinking about this stuff, and is still worth a read: http://www.shirky.com/
