Update on Drone Hacking - The Best Defense Against Cyber Insurgents is a Good Offense
2009-12-25
"Ask a cyber soldier what it means when the enemy is using specific tactics to infiltrate your lines of communication, and you might notice a slight smile cross the soldiers face. When the enemy is in your lines it means bad news in traditional military terms, but in the asymmetrical world of cyber warfare this development should be seen as an opportunity.

#11  "There was a soldier, a Cyber Soldier,
Who wandered far away, and cyber'd night and day..."

Grunter: LOL! We will have to get Alex Beaton to sing that one!

#10  Last night I saw upon the net
A cyber-soldier who wasnÂ’t there
He wasnÂ’t there again today
He said to stop calling him that.

#9  Now, now, Pappy, there are some of us Airdale types that have "gotten our boots muddy" a time or two. Some of us have even been shot at (and returned effective fire).

The stuff downloaded from the TR-1 (and a few other birds) is all encrypted. I'm sure the data from drones is not encrypted because the encryption equipment is pretty cumbersome - it has to be to be effective. Still, something as simple as PGP could have prevented this kind of debacle.

#8  So how many "cyber soldiers" have you spoken with lately?

No "soldiers" - just Marines. A few, if you count "within two weeks" as lately.

And they don't refer to themselves as that. "Cyber soldiers" sounds like an Air Force term.

#5  So how many "cyber soldiers" have you spoken with lately?

No laughing matter actually. Many are former soldiers, retirees, contractors, etc, stuck away doing God's work in basement offices and complexes. With a few PhD's and super geeks sprinkled in, these sites are cyber technology incubators. Very necessary these people and their work.
