A Few Cyber Warfare Resources

The Cyberwars begin is ranked number 1 with Foreign Policy in the top ten stories of 2007.

In late April, Western experts were caught off guard when a barrage of cyberattacks emanating from Russia crippled the banking, police, and government offices of Estonia. Many called it the world's first full-scale cyberinvasion. Then in June, Pentagon officials accused the Chinese military of hacking into a computer network used by top aides to U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

This emerging threat may explain why in September the U.S. Air Force quietly decided to form a Cyberspace Command. The new Cyberspace Command, due to become fully operational by October 2009, will be charged with helping to guard against such threats.

The Air Force has also just graduated its first class of cyberfighters, trained in network warfare. More than 20 years after the founding of the Internet, the next "revolution in military affairs" may be online.

I know one thing. When I changed my dissertation to cyber warfare as a form of low intensity conflict a whole lot of people started throwing money at me. I've gotten some interesting emails based on a little paper I published at a technology and society conference (LINK).
