I refuse to buy classics which are out of copyright unless I happen to

Who's more posh, Clausewitz or Sun Tzu? I hear Rommel wrote a book

I haven't been able to locate it (yet).

Subject: [funsec] The attacks on Estonia by Russians (or Russia?)

People have been wondering why I've been keeping quiet on this issue, 
especially since I was right there helping out.

A lot of people had information to share and emotions to get out of 
the way. Also, it was really not my place reply on this - with all the

work done by the Estonians, my contributions were secondary. Mr. 
Alexander Harrowell discussed this with me off mailing lists, and our 
discussions are public on his blog. Information from Bill Woodcock on 
NANOG was also sound.

As to what actually happened over there, more information should 
become available soon and I will send it here. I keep getting stuck 
when trying to write the post-mortem and attack/defense analysis as I 
keep hitting a stone wall I did not expect: strategy. Suggestions for 
the future is also a part of that document, so I will speed it up with

a more down-to-Earth technical analysis (which is what I promised
CERT-EE).

In the past I've been able to consider information warfare as a part 
of a larger strategy, utilizing it as a weapon. I was able to think of

impact and tools, not to mention (mostly) disconnected attacks and 
defenses.

I keep seeing strategy for the use IN information warfare battles as I

write this document on what happened in Estonia, and I believe I need 
more time to explore this against my previous take on the issue, as 
well as take a look at some classics such as Clausewitz, as posh as it

may sound.

Thanks,

  Gadi.
