Being Used as Weapons in Cyber Dogfights
There is a certain satisfaction for me in seeing this book published. When I
presented my "strike-back" concept to the security community years ago, I was
surprised by the ensuing criticism from my peers. I thought they would support
our right to defend ourselves, and that the real challenge would be educating
the general public. It was the other way around, however. This is why I?m happy
to see Aggressive Network Self-Defense published. It shows that people are
beginning to consider the reality of today?s Internet. Many issues are not black
and white, right or wrong, legal or illegal. Some of the strike-back approaches
in this book I support. Others, I outright disagree with. But that?s good?it
gives us the chance to truly think about each situation?and thinking is the most
important part of the security business. Now is the time to analyze the
technologies and consider the stories presented in this book before fiction
becomes reality.?Timothy M. Mullen, CIO and Chief Software Architect for
