You may have heard about "cyber warfare" in the news, but do
you really know what it is? This book provides fascinating
and disturbing details on how nations, groups, and
individuals throughout the world are using the Internet as
an attack platform to gain military, political, and economic
advantages over their adversaries. You'll learn how
sophisticated hackers working on behalf of states or
organized crime patiently play a high-stakes game that could
target anyone, regardless of affiliation or nationality. Inside Cyber Warfare goes beyond the headlines of
attention-grabbing DDoS attacks and takes a deep look inside
multiple cyber-conflicts that occurred from 2002 through
summer 2009. * Learn how cyber attacks are waged in open conflicts,
including recent hostilities between Russia and Georgia, and
Israel and Palestine
* Discover why Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal,
Vkontakte, and other sites on the social web are mined by
the intelligence services of many nations
* Read about China's commitment to penetrate the
networks of its technologically superior adversaries as a
matter of national survival
* Find out why many attacks originate from servers in
the United States, and who's responsible
* Learn how hackers are "weaponizing" malware to attack
vulnerabilities at the application level
