Book excerpt: Conflict in cyberspace is not a new phenomenon, but the legality of hostile cyber activity at a state level remains imperfectly defined. While the United States and its allies are in general agreement on the legal status of conflict in cyberspace, China, Russia, and a number of like-minded nations have an entirely different concept of the applicability of international law to cyberspace. This e-book presents the opposed views of USA and Russia on cyber security. Ultimately, you can find out from the official report how cyber-attack can jeopardize national security in the latest attack performed by the Russian hackers in order to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections.

Book excerpt: “A prescient and important book. . . . Fascinating.”—The New York Review of Books No single invention of the last half century has changed the way we live now as much as the Internet. Alexander Klimburg was a member of the generation for whom it was a utopian ideal turned reality: a place where ideas, information, and knowledge could be shared and new freedoms found and enjoyed. Two decades later, the future isn’t so bright any more: increasingly, the Internet is used as a weapon and a means of domination by states eager to exploit or curtail global connectivity in order to further their national interests. Klimburg is a leading voice in the conversation on the implications of this dangerous shift, and in The Darkening Web, he explains why we underestimate the consequences of states’ ambitions to project power in cyberspace at our peril: Not only have hacking and cyber operations fundamentally changed the nature of political conflict—ensnaring states in a struggle to maintain a precarious peace that could rapidly collapse into all-out war—but the rise of covert influencing and information warfare has enabled these same global powers to create and disseminate their own distorted versions of reality in which anything is possible. At stake are not only our personal data or the electrical grid, but the Internet as we know it today—and with it the very existence of open and democratic societies. Blending anecdote with argument, Klimburg brings us face-to-face with the range of threats the struggle for cyberspace presents, from an apocalyptic scenario of debilitated civilian infrastructure to a 1984-like erosion of privacy and freedom of expression. Focusing on different approaches to cyber-conflict in the US, Russia and China, he reveals the extent to which the battle for control of the Internet is as complex and perilous as the one surrounding nuclear weapons during the Cold War—and quite possibly as dangerous for humanity as a whole. Authoritative, thought-provoking, and compellingly argued, The Darkening Web makes clear that the debate about the different aspirations for cyberspace is nothing short of a war over our global values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference work examines how sophisticated cyber-attacks and innovative use of social media have changed conflict in the digital realm, while new military technologies such as drones and robotic weaponry continue to have an impact on modern warfare. Cyber warfare, social media, and the latest military weapons are transforming the character of modern conflicts. This book explains how, through overview essays written by an award-winning author of military history and technology topics; in addition to more than 200 entries dealing with specific examples of digital and physical technologies, categorized by their relationship to cyber warfare, social media, and physical technology areas. Individually, these technologies are having a profound impact on modern conflicts; cumulatively, they are dynamically transforming the character of conflicts in the modern world. The book begins with a comprehensive overview essay on cyber warfare and a large section of A–Z reference entries related to this topic. The same detailed coverage is given to both social media and technology as they relate to conflict in the 21st century. Each of the three sections also includes an expansive bibliography that serves as a gateway for further research on these topics. The book ends with a detailed chronology that helps readers place all the key events in these areas.

Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses in varying detail the realities of the twenty-first-century battlefield environment. Unless practiced by large nation-states against each other, conventional warfare is a dying platform by which asymmetric warfare and terrorism have replaced the conventional warfare dynamic. Asymmetric warfare is defined as the blurring of the lines between politics, economics, combatants, civilians, and their context in the prosecution of war on an ever changing battlefield. Inclusive in this dynamic is cyber, communications, terrorism, the use of civilians as human shields and as both offensive and defensive weapons. Fourth generation warfare, as asymmetrical warfare has come to be known, is not new. It has existed in every war since the dawn of man. What is different is the total application of asymmetric components on a battlefield as a means to fight. The population-centric model, as espoused by the United States Army and Marine Corps, has now made it into the lexicon of air operations in Iraq, a segment of war prosecution it was never designed for. As a result, the Air Force has been subjected to mission paralysis and ultimately, mission failure. David Galula gave future military commanders guidance, not hard and fast rules. Rules of engagement have come to favor the enemy, and if the reality of war does not return to those in command, the United States may never win another war.

Book excerpt: This book delves into the fascinating world of cyber warfare, a modern-day conflict fought on the digital frontlines with far-reaching impacts. As interconnected networks intertwine nations and their critical infrastructures, the risk of catastrophic fallout is great. Governments, corporations, and even lone hackers attempt to exploit weaknesses within a continuously evolving landscape.The key players in this high-stakes game are diverse and mysterious. Nation-states, such as the United States, Russia, China, and others, compete for supremacy. They use their cyber armies as geopolitical tools, partaking in covert operations, intelligence collection, and sabotage. In response, they invest heavily in offensive and defensive strategies, thus instigating a never-ending arms race in the digital world.Non-state actors, including hacktivist groups and criminal organizations, have also risen as substantial forces. Driven by ideology or financial gain, they wreak havoc on public and private targets, causing everything from disruptive cyber protests to extensive theft of sensitive information and extortion.Cyber warfare history is rife with significant events. The Stuxnet worm, supposedly co-created by the United States and Israel, targeted Iran's nuclear program, setting a precedent for the use of offensive cyber tactics to disrupt critical infrastructure. The WannaCry ransomware attack of 2017 highlighted organizations' vulnerability to vast cyber onslaughts by infecting computers worldwide and demanding ransom payments.However, the risks and damages tied to cyber warfare grow each year. The potential fallout extends beyond the digital world. Nations find themselves in a web of shared vulnerabilities, with the threat of escalating conflicts. Theft of sensitive military or intelligence data can upset power dynamics, and disruption of critical infrastructure can debilitate entire countries.Governments and corporations grapple with the swift evolution of threats, with cybersecurity frameworks often trailing behind and a lack of skilled personnel posing significant challenges. Even when vulnerabilities are found, slow patching leaves critical systems vulnerable.Thus, as the cyber warfare narrative continues to unfold, it calls for the concerted efforts of governments, organizations, and individuals to navigate the treacherous waters of cyberspace. It's a call to action-a necessity to understand, adapt, and defend against the dangers lurking within the expansive digital frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What Valeriano and Maness provide in this book is an empirically-grounded discussion of the reality of cyber conflict, based on an analysis of cyber incidents and disputes experienced by international states since 2001. They delineate patterns of cyber conflict to develop a larger theory of cyber war that gets at the processes leading to cyber conflict. They find that, in addition to being a little-used tactic, cyber incidents thus far have been of a rather low-level intensity and with few to no long-term effects. Interestingly, they also find that many cyber incidents are motivated by regional conflict. They argue that restraint is the norm in cyberspace and suggest there is evidence this norm can influence how the tactic is used in the future. In conclusion, the authors lay out a set of policy recommendations for proper defense against cyber threats that is built on restraint and regionalism"--
