a hacker group during the fighting as a team.

years, the U.S. will not only enhance the national security of cyberspace, a high degree of economic security, cyberspace will be treated as a new military field, tried to establish and maintain U.S. military dominance. The rapid development of the Internet today, the United States is trying to monopolize the global cyberspace dominance, and rules of the game single-handedly develop cyber warfare, network warfare to seize the high ground of the future.

5 17, the United States announced the “Cyberspace International Strategy Report”, for the first time a clear space for the network formulated the overall U.S. international policy, threatened to use force to protect networks at all.

In addition, Russia, Israel and Iran’s network with a trace of the mysterious forces that repeatedly hit the newspapers, the contest between the military branch networks are becoming increasingly fierce.

“140 force” to seize the high ground

2008 Beijing Olympic Games. When the world is immersed in the fierce competition in sports when a war has erupted in the Caucasus: in the real world, Georgia’s rocket to fly in two jump regions fighting for independence, Russian tanks in these areas are formidable protection; in the virtual world, like the Russian hackers storm also swept through Georgia’s website.

some experts, this is truly the first cyberwar.

“We see the armed forces of South Ossetia in Moscow embarked, at the same time, well-planned network of forces attacked the Georgian government’s communication system and the banking system.” Yin Dexter Nigel (Nigel Inkster), the London Association for Strategic and International Studies (IISS) The director of transnational threats and political risk, said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government is fully equipped to build their first network unit – the United States Network Command (USCybercom) – the U.S. generals and the soldiers knock on the keyboard can control the war.

Yin Baxter said: “The United States in conventional weapons, nuclear weapons and in a dominant position in space, cyberspace, they are seeking to achieve the same field dominance.” This is the United States recently announced a “network Space International Strategy Report “to pursue, the report claims that, in order to protect the U.S. network security, it resorts to force.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on June 4 speech in Singapore, was the first confirmation that the attacks from other countries will be “regarded as acts of war and to fight back by force.” A U.S. military source said, this strategy means that “If you turn off our power, we may be to your chimney fire a missile.”

Meiguo Wang Jun in progress

1988 年 11 2 April, an unknown computer virus “invasion” of the U.S. Strategic Defense System control center and command centers at all levels, resulting in 8500 Taiwan’s computer the emergence of various abnormal situations, resulting in millions of dollars in direct economic losses.

final survey found all this are the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University graduate student 23 years old Morris manufacturing. Even though the students are holding the mischievous mind, but the event also sounded the alarm to the U.S. military – as long as there is a computer connected to the Internet, it is possible to manufacture weapons of destruction worse than the injury.

1991 during the Gulf War, the United States sent agents to Iraq, the Iraqi air defense system purchased from France the use of printer chips put on a chip containing computer viruses. Implementation strategy in the U.S. air strikes against Iraq before the U.S. agent with a remote control activation of these chips means the virus, resulting in the Iraqi air defense command center program the host computer system disorder, the Iraqi air defense C3I system failure.

this action also allows the U.S. military have tasted the sweetness of information technology, network security began to be upgraded to a strategic level.

In fact, since the 1990s from the U.S. military has begun recruiting a large number of network professionals. In 1995, the Pentagon began to organize the first group of “hackers” in the cyber space and fight the enemy to carry out comprehensive information. Two years later, the first national “network warriors” to participate in the United States under the auspices of the National Security Agency’s secret exercise.

to 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush signed the “National Security Presidential Decree No. 16″, the formation of U.S. history, it may be the world’s first network of a “hacker” forces – “the joint network warfare function command. ” Force by the world’s top computer expert and “hackers”, whose staff consists of the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, FBI and other sector experts, the average IQ of all members in more than 140, it is also known outside as “140 units.”

2006 to end in early 2007, the U.S. Department of Defense has set up a new force – the network media warfare units. This forces the computer not only has a high level, also has a deep theoretical knowledge of public information, all of them are good “reporter.” They on the Internet “and strive to correct the error message” in order to improve the U.S. media coverage on the network’s capacity.

former U.S. National Security Agency’s Internet director, Netwitness’s head Ami Juhran (Amit Yoran) that cyber warfare is to “use information technology to lead the war.”

“is to use the Internet or network attack to destroy the system, so that they can not operate, while allowing legitimate users who at some critical point in time can not log system.” He said.

2009 In January, the U.S. Defense Department issued a “mission to assess four-year mandate”, the “network-centric warfare” as America’s “core competencies.”

Then, U.S. President Obama ordered a nationwide network of 60-day security to carry out a comprehensive assessment, and announced the establishment of “network czar” this position will oversee the management of national network security, network for the future prepare for war.

2010 年 5 21, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the official launch of Network Warfare Command. Network Warfare Command under the U.S. Strategic Command, which indicates that the U.S. will fight as a global network of combat to look at.

network in London recently held meeting of the war, Dr. Kurt believes that one day will be the Pentagon’s computer experts and pilots or naval commanders on an equal footing.

“and the power of weapons compared to their weapons ‘precision destruction’ may become more efficient, more accurate, less destructive threat to personal safety and lower arms.” He said.

seven 101 Airborne Division

looked out from London’s Canary Wharf, Kurt Daniel (Daniel Kuehl) just a point opposite the Tower Building . National Defense University in the United States before the information operations experts, who had been involved in planning the first Gulf War air raid deployment.

“assume that somewhere there is a building network system, strategy must be to get rid of it.” He asked, “Do you think the best way to eliminate it is? Is gently knock a few keyboard, or on the third floor laser-guided bomb to blow it to pieces it? “

” We are very experienced in the second method – but the first method may be more favorable for us. “library Seoul said. In his view, increasingly powerful as the U.S. network warriors, they are likely to become the dominant power of the war the key to victory.

Daniel Kull is not the first attention of the network by U.S. think tank. Although the U.S. military has never released the number of troops fighting over the net, but according to expert assessment, at least 3000-5000 were U.S. information warfare specialists, 50,000 -7 million soldiers involved in cyber warfare. If the original electronic warfare officer with the U.S. military’s network should be 88,700 troops fighting around this size, the equivalent of seven 101 Airborne Division.

Currently, two different network warfare center under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Strategic Command to run. These two forces form the American network warfare and network attack defense shield and spear.

so-called “shield” is a global network of joint forces (Joint Task Force-Global NetworkOperations), is responsible for protecting the Pentagon in the U.S. and worldwide network of systems to cope with hundreds of thousands every day from trying to attack U.S. attacks into the network; and “cyber warfare capabilities constitute the Joint Command” (Joint Functional Component Command NetworkWarfare) is the U.S. military’s “spear”, was responsible for launching attacks on the enemy. For example, the rapid invasion of the enemy in wartime, the computer network system, so that the enemy’s command networks and weapons systems rely on computers to run full paralysis.

At the same time, the two networks headquarters will cover all four military services, the four military services of the networks division – the 24th Air Force, Army, Navy 10 fleet, the Army Network Warfare Command, Navy land Network Space Command’s war team, will also be reverted to a department in one by one.

early 24th Army Air Force set up readme as a “war to run the organization,” the organization to establish, operate, maintain and protect the U.S. Air Force network, and attack a threat to their network.

the 24th Army Air Force headquarters in Texas, the entire organization, including a total of 3339 soldiers, 2,975 civilians, 1,364 contractors and a key force – 67th network warfare wing. 24th Army boasted “in addition to the demilitarized zone Antarctica, in every continent have troops stationed abroad.”

deputy commander of 24th Army Brigadier General Charles Sugar (Charles Shugg) that the Air Force needed a strong network protection is normal thing. He said: “We rely on our information network to complete the task when that information system has greatly enhanced our ability to work, they will become our enemy a very important goal.”

and Not everyone recognizes the network headquarters of the U.S. military value. A U.S. official to attend the London meeting, said the network war, if war is a network of weapons of mass destruction, that it is merely a “weapon of mass destruction, not destructive.”

However, this view does not hinder the U.S. military building in the network has invested heavily.

Northrop Grumman (Northrop Grumman) is one of the major U.S. defense contractor, is responsible for its intelligence systems Daniel Allen estimates that each year $ 10 billion the federal government network security into the bottom line. In order to capture the network security field contracts, major U.S. defense contractors have begun to participate in the hacker “talent” competition among.

good sea tactics

Speaking of war, no one can ignore Russia.

the Soviet Union was the world’s most powerful intelligence machines, many members of the Soviet KGB only idle for some time, then join the new network battlefield.

network in Russia generally have several traditional battle tactics were “flood attack” (that is paralyzed opponents with large amounts of data packets the server, usually a large number of infected computers with a virus first, then the composition of these infected computers “zombie army”, the collective data packets sent), hacker attacks, and use the Internet to spread false information.

web spread rumors, for example, in 2000, defected to the United States, former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Tretyakov a U.S. correspondent PeteEarley interview that he often went to send some of the intelligence New York Public Library, and then various forums and websites to post and to the many U.S. agencies and celebrities email. For example, “a Russian scientist to tell you the new research and the like.” These messages most of the information is true, but it will always be a place inadvertently mixed in some “contraband”, so that Russia will help the reader generate ideas.

mentioned and Russia on the network warfare, or goes back to 2007, “Estonian cyber warfare” and 2008′s “Network of South Ossetia war.”

as one of the three Baltic states of Estonia have been many times in history the Russian annexation of strong domestic anti-Russian (Soviet) complex.

2007, the country’s outbreak of World War II Soviet memorial statue to remove the event, causing serious public opinion between the two countries and diplomatic conflicts. From April 27, 2007, a large number Estonian web site was attacked and paralyzed. Three goals, including the focus of network attacks: Estonian presidential and parliamentary sites, government departments, political parties, six major news organizations in the three, the two largest banks and telecommunications companies.

the main form of attack is mentioned before the “flood attack”, this attack is reminiscent of Russia’s military tradition – human wave tactics.

then Estonia continue to pursue, we found that the original attack directly from Russia, part of the domain name to Russian President Vladimir Putin also registered in the name. But Russia has repeatedly denied and events, and attacked Estonia’s allegations are fictitious.

one is at 2008, Russia and Georgia’s South Ossetia war broke out between the two countries during the network war. August 5, in the year, that is, to seek independent grid Army scored three days before the South Ossetian Autonomous Region, two Russian news Web site was hijacked, log jump directly to a Georgian TV station “AlaniaTV” website. Followed by the Georgian side face strong retaliation, the parliament and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website is compromised, log into a page after Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Adolf Hitler’s face comparison chart. Meanwhile the country and neighboring Azerbaijan have suffered other computers and websites, “flood attack.”

in the network during the war, there is a strong anti-Russian sentiment of several countries Estonia, Poland and Ukraine for the Georgian government to provide network assistance. The network in Estonia during the war, NATO member states because there is no war on the terms of the network, the other NATO countries to send observers to Estonia can only do a limited assistance.

later, Russia’s “usual” denied that the government launched a war of this network, but only in Russia attributed to a number of individuals.

is no rookie

“Mrs. Clinton (referring to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton), you would like to hear those in the heart of the U.S. voice of the oppressed countries do ? the Islamic world will not believe the United States shenanigans! We demand the U.S. immediately stop interfering! “

these words do not come from the Iranian Republic News Agency manuscript; not” base “organization sent the videos; not from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s roar. On the contrary, it is from the famous “Voice of America” ??Web site home page to see them.

For these, the Internet security field will not strangers, they know, the famous “Iran network army” again.

3 22 “Voice of America,” the site suddenly been tampered with, and damage was also 95 related websites. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency subsequently issued, net of Iran confirmed the implementation of the military “offensive”, the message also said, “This action is in response to Voice of America as represented by Iran’s subversive activities in the U.S. media error reported. “

the same time, this year, including Iran, Middle East and North Africa region there has been widespread social unrest, in a series of events reported in the media war is heating up. Do not have much voice in the international situation, the net forces become important to counter the Iranian government weapons.

in Iran, the military has long been officially recognized network, and even listed in the “Islamic volunteer militia,” the system. Official Iranian Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted the “Basij” deputy commander Alifazi in (Ali Fazli) as saying: “As we face an enemy attack on the network as to receive skill training ‘Kaspersky’ teachers , students and clergy are also online counter our enemy. “

” Basij “in Persian language means” mobilization “, whose official name is” Nirou-ye Moqavemat-e Basij “, that “resistance mobilization”, the Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini founded the volunteer paramilitary forces (militia), established in two Iraq war.

attacks, the “Voice of America” ??and the other caught quickly repair their own website pages, Voice of America also said there has been no data loss situation. But the U.S. network security expert Jeffrey Carl (Jeffery Carr) said that the military should not be taken lightly on Iran network, “there are many hackers group activities in Iran and abroad, Iran’s military is only one of a network, they are very strong, not a rookie . “

Karl referred to in a foreign hacker group, often some of the Indians and Russians. Particularly in the development of IT technology for the state’s industrial base in India, has a large number of outstanding computer experts and students. Many of them were willing to fight in the network act as “mercenaries” role. Network in India and Pakistan in 2010, the military has “fight.” Because then the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, had a heated debate between users, so the two sides began to net a lot of damage each other’s military government website.

attack on the Voice of America is Iran’s recent record of the military network, Since 2010, it has several high-profile of his face. December 17, 2009, many users find they can not log on Twitter, its home page was hijacked to a new page, leaving the following words: This site has been hijacked Iranian military network. The United States that they control the Internet. But they did not! We use our own power control and management of the Internet. Do not provoke the Iranian people. Who sanctions us who sanctions! Take care!

targeted by the Iranian military network in the Netherlands include the Persian Radio Zamaneh site, Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, and news sites Jaras and so on. Iran’s army who the enemy is net? Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili said, “Iran’s enemies sponsored the 874 website to subvert the Iranian government.”

2005 years, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard for the first time planning to set up networks and the rapid development of military . The U.S. Department of Defense under the agency “defense science and technology bureau,” Iran as the world’s five most powerful countries of the hackers, and estimate the net forces Iran $ 76 million a year funding.

However, the Iranian general network characteristics of the military attack instead of just hijacked the domain name server itself. Some experts pointed out that this action shows every time he is very short, and time is very tight. To attacks on Twitter, for example, Iran’s military network in fact is just hijacked a staff member of the company’s computer, and through his e-mail to reset the domain’s control panel. This is a 2005 Iranian hacking NASA (NASA) Web site of the replica.

layout of the fifth dimension

Media reports indicate that Iran has long been victims of hackers. Network with Iran Army “brush a slogan, shouted a slogan,” compared to his main rival the United States and Israel, the destruction caused by hackers is needle see blood.

2010 in June, called “shock web” (stuxnet) worm was found in Belarus VirusBlokAda anti-virus company. In fact the source of the virus can be traced back to June 2009. Finalized, “shock web” virus compile time about February 3, 2010.

“shock web” virus is unique in that this is the first ever to target key industrial infrastructure of the worm. The total use of computer system vulnerabilities for the seven, five of them for Windows, 2 个 against Siemens Industrial Control Systems “SIMATICWinCC”. “Shock web” in Iran virus infected more than 62,000 computers, Symantec (Symantec) Security Response senior director Kevin Hogan (KevinHogan) pointed out that in Iran, about 60% of PCs are infected.

United States to record the greatest hacker is undermining Iran’s Natanz (Natanz) uranium enrichment facilities. First half of 2009, there have been official recognition of Iran’s major nuclear accidents, Iran, the IAEA director Gholam RezaAghazadeh resign. According to foreign media reports the whole process is like a science fiction movie: As the virus infection, the video control room has been tampered with. Monitoring personnel to see is no different from the normal picture, but actually inside the centrifuge nuclear facilities in case of accelerating out of control and eventually destroyed.

“shock web” and complexity is very rare, the virus writers need for industrial processes and industrial infrastructure is very understanding. Systems engineer at Siemens 埃里克拜尔斯 (Eric Byres) told the U.S. technology magazine “Connect” (Wired), “write the code needs a lot of people work a few months, even years.”

soon there is news that “shock web” source of the virus is Iran’s rival Israel and the United States. Principal investigator of the virus Ralph Langner (RalphLangner) in September 2010, publicly stated, “I believe this is the source of the virus in Israel.” In the Saddam era, the Israeli air force had bombed Iraq’s nuclear weapons factory raid, a modern air war history of the classic examples, and now the Israelis may well create a “fifth dimension of war,” a classic examples.

But in February this year, Lanna interview revised view, “I think one of the Mossad involved, but surely there is another behind a superpower.”

Meanwhile, the well-known Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab (KasperskyLabs) issued a statement that the “shock web” virus “is a very effective and terrifying weapons of the prototype network, this network will result in the world of weapons new arms race, arms race in a network era. ” It also believes that “unless there is state and government support and assistance, it would be difficult to launch attacks of this magnitude. Among Israel and the United States involved.”

5 months, the White House security adviser Gary Samore asked about the earthquake network in question laughed language, and then said meaningfully: “We are very happy to hear they (the Iranians) and centrifuged machine is a problem the United States and its allies will end ‘to provide the necessary technical advice’。”

and according to the British “Daily Telegraph”, retired former chief Gabi Ashkenazi Israel Defense Forces In his article suggests that “shock web” virus is a masterpiece of the Israel Defense Forces.

Israel is the world’s first networking unit in the world. But the force’s role in national defense, or in recent years only to get attention. 2007 Israeli raid on Syria nuclear facility, the network has successfully closed the Syrian troops prevention and control system. Despite Israel’s military network is still very mysterious, but the army in 1952, “8200 Digital Intelligence Unit” is considered to undertake the relevant tasks.
