EMANY01: You are mostly correct but you fail to consider that there are various levels of secret weapons. The weapon you would use against China, Russia, or Iran is different from the one you would use against NK, Venezuela, or some other 3rd world country. Whatever was done to NK is not that sophisticated in the grand scheme of things as it seemed to be related to shutting down the power needed for their routers. There is ALWAYS MAJOR top secret weapons being developed and improved in response to EVERY single country's capability. Take a look at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), whose motto is "Creating and Preventing Strategic Surprise." http://www.darpa.mil/default.aspx Currently, if you have unique knowledge/idea for a product or service that relates to cyber security, you'll easily get funding by the private sector and/or the government to develop it. I would even go a step further; if you want to become the next billionaire, develop a solution for corporations that prevents hacking. EDIT: By the way, you can easily jam satellites by just swamping the bandwidth with very loud "noise." It is even better to send confusing info or wrong info by pretending to be the satellite or the person commanding the satellite. |

XketchDesigns:Yes, that's not supporting sony. That was an act of cowardice from sony, so he was angry with the ceo of sony. He later rebuked the ceo of the way he presented the movie. The ceo of sony wasn't happy with obama. He was interviewed yesterday, I watched the whole interview. He felt bad that obama didn't stand by him. |

I Honestly think the Americans the rest of the west and East are a major bunch of C.UNTS. I just hope that they all destroy each other while Africa hides in the shadows and grows stronger and gets better. |

That boy in North Korea is on some psychoactive prescription medication. He recently murdered his uncle, killed ALL of the man's relatives, and then made the AUNTIE, his father's sister, a high ranking official in the government. He's doing his thing. |

The country is at the center of a confrontation with the United States over the hacking of Sony Pictures, but several U.S. officials said the U.S. government was not involved in any cyber action against Pyongyang (korea). source : reuters |

Wallie: You are correct although when all things are considered the difference between the systems & tools that would be employed in information warfare / electronic warfare(as you well know they are quite different although they generally will be applied together) against countries like Nigeria,SA,Argentina and N.K would be several iterations different in magnitude from the tools to be employed against say ; India,china and Russia. I don't think Iran really rates here. The challenge and fine line to walk here for a western power (read France,Uk Israel and the US), would be to :calibrate the systems/tools to prevent a scenario where a peer state will gain access to observe the damage done using those tools and extrapolate to get a marginally fair assessment of what suite of offensive systems/tools are in reserve and intended for them. Its the way the world works in the case of strategic weapons and intelligence:you have this awesome new weapon just developed and tested(hopefully without details of the weapon leaking to the oppositions intelligence services). The quandary is now a scenario where a minor or just above minor conflict/threat/situation more likely not involving the "main enemy" (at first) develops. That new weapon may just be the magic bullet that could help a commander in chief to resolve /neutralize the situation or threats in a cost effective( fewer [conventional ],platforms and lives of soldiers/seamen/airmen or Marines) manner with minimum risk of escalation .The problem is, that weapon was designed to contain and hold at risk the military strategic capacities of the main enem(ies). The question for the CIC !/do you" use that new secret weapon, rapidly and easily resolve that emerging situation/crisis containing a possible escalation that can occur when some crisis are not immediately resolved or !/do you "Use the current tools you have ,capabilities of which are well known although marginally superior which may give you unpredictable results"? The decision matrix is complicated by the fact that things could go spectacularly wrong in either case with serious political consequences for the CIC either way. Examples of this scenarios include the loss of the F-111 , in Serbia which was essentially a "brush fire war" in American parlance.It gave the world (read Chinese and Russians) the first close up look at Americas' super secret stealth plane .Even though it was the carcass of the plane they were examining it gave the opposition a fundamental idea of what the new secret weapon was about and even if they could not build it, they began from there to build information/knowledge required to invalidate the threat posed by the new weapon. Same scenario goes for the stealth helicopter lost in Abottabad in the operation to kill Bin Laden.The Chinese were there almost as soon as the American touched home base to take a good look at the downed chopper and if I recall correctly were trying to buy the fuselage from the Pakistani military/government. In the case strategic intelligence the decision matrix is the same, consider this some historians claim that in 1941 before the Pearl harbor attack, the OSS had a spy embedded within the Japanese top political hierarchy who actually warned about a possible planned attack by Japan but the decision makers in the top levels of the OSS held on to that information not to sabotage the US but because if the information spread within the us war structure,it would lead to the Japanese overhauling their counter-intelligence essentially cutting of their only reliable sources of intelligence in the Japanese government.They had calculated rather wrongly that if they released their information within a specific time period before the Japanese actually attacked the Pacific fleet would be ready for the Japanese without tipping of their hand.Problem is the timed things rather too close and badly.They got the warning our but the warning came just as the attack fleet crossed into Hawaiian airspace. So the question framed in a simple way is "so you use your secret weapon/intelligence for a medium/moderate level crisis and tip you hand or do you continue to conceal what you have until maximum benefit can be gained from using it? Follow up question,how and when do you determine maximum benefit? Shout out to Frankie....LOLLLLLSSS. |

Re: USA Shuts Down North Korea's Internet After Sony Hack by princedoz: 9:35pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
US has not claimed responsibility for the attacks as at 11am today. However, if the us are responsible, they gat no right to shut down a nations internet gateway. US has and continually hack computer systems of other nations. They tried hacking even into Russian Intelligence. They may even have hacked into China or Nigeria as I type. What gives them the right to hack and not be hacked? |
Re: USA Shuts Down North Korea's Internet After Sony Hack by Weah96: 9:41pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
princedoz: Dude, they hack everyone. Don't let anybody deceive you. Didn't you hear what Edward Snowden said or do you think the man was only exaggerating? Every phone line in the US is tapped, as a start. They can also remotely assume control of the cameras in your laptop and phone. That's why rule one of terrorism is not to fck with electronic transmissions. |

XketchDesigns: What about free speech? I completely support Obama in this. North Korea should not be able to regulate the movie industry of another country, that is bullying!! If I wanted to make a comedy insulting Obama, I should be able to because that is what freedom is about. It's not about someone's feelings, as a public figure, people will make fun of you. So get over it!! That movie would've flopped based on the bad script and acting but because Kim threw a tantrum like a child people are going to go watch it making it a success!! |

BrownKnight: Yes it's in poor taste but to hack and threaten is cowardly, he should take it like a man. People are allowed to make a movie about anything they like, that is freedom to express |
Re: USA Shuts Down North Korea's Internet After Sony Hack by Nobody: 7:11am On Dec 24, 2014 |
fulanigirl:North Korea insists it didn't hack Sony systems. Yes people have freedom of expression, and that exprssion shouldn't be misused. There is a limit to everything. |
