Cyberwar guide for Iran elections

Not so sure that the govt there would agree with us though

The government has been wrong before and so has the media. The suggestion by so many that social commentary, organization to protest, and basically information operations using netcentric tactics is cyber warfare is woefully inadequate. As I've built my theory and gathered supporting evidence I've come to some startling conclusions.

1) Cyber-warfare is a separate domain that interacts with all the other domains (though i call them terrains).
2) As the domains/terrains are broad spectrum conflict so is cyber warfare.
3) People push small segments of cyber warfare that they understand as the totality of the battle space is extensive.
4) Cyber warfare isn't I/O it is Insurgency. I/O is PART of insurgency.

Right now on my blog five groups of graduate students with wildly differing abilities are investigating red teaming/penetration testing using a taxonomy I developed as part of my cyber warfare research. We've already pretty conclusively proven most peoples ideas of offensive cyber warfare are inadequate. People only look at one or two levels of a 9 level hierarchy. A current "cyber warfare" contest being put on by DOD is a good example of that idiocy.

ETA: Consider this. Just because a terrorist takes a ferry boat on the way to bomb the night club does not make it naval warfare. If he rams the ferry boat into a super tanker full of oil that is a bit different. People using the Internet to get ideas out or for command and control is NOT cyber warfare. If we use the telephone to call up a national guard unit we don't call it "telco warfare". But, the term is sexy so it gets over used.
