Two Dimensional Thinking and APT
January 30th, 2010 admin
I expect many readers will recognize the image at left as representing part of the final space battle in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. During this battle, Kirk and Spock realize Khan’s tactics are limited. Khan is treating the battle like it is occuring on the open seas, not in space. Spock says: He is intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking. I though this quote could describe many of the advanced persistent threat critics, particularly those who claim “it’s just espionage” or “there’s nothing new about this.” Consider this one last argument to change your mind. (Ha, like that will happen. For everyone else, this is how I arrive at my conclusions.) I think the problem is APT critics are thinking in one or two dimensions at most, when really this…

A Tiny Apartment Transforms into 24...In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer."

Joe's Apartment (Original MTV Short...This is the original MTV short film "Joe's Apartment" that eventually spawned the full length movie of the same name. The short first aired in 1992 as filler between breaks. I uploaded this because I thought people who enjoyed the film might want to see where it all started. If MTV insists that I take this down then I won't argue, I just want to preserve some history and share some nostalgia. I got this film from a torrent site that wishes to remain anonymous - I don't want to take credit for it, it wasn't me that ripped it so I don't deserve any credit.

AFCERT circa 2000...This video shows the United States Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT) in 2000. Kelly AFB, Security Hill, and Air Intelligence Agency appear. The colonel who leads the camera crew into room 215 is James Massaro, then commander of the Air Force Information Warfare Center. The old Web-based interface to the Automated Security Incident Measurement (ASIM) sensor is shown, along with a demo of the "TCP reset" capability to terminate TCP-based sessions. We have a classic quote about a "digital Pearl Harbor" from Winn Schwartau, "the nation's top information security analyst." Hilarious, although Winn nails the attribution and national leadership problems; note also the references to terrorists in this pre-9/11 video. "Stop the technology madness!" Incidentally, if the programs shown were "highly classified," they wouldn't be in this video!

I found the new 60 Minutes update on information warfare to be interesting. I fear that the debate over whether or not “hackers” disabled Brazil’s electrical grid will overshadow the real issue presented in the story: advanced persistent threats are here, have been here, and will continue to be here. Some critics claim APT must...
This has been the week to discuss the advanced persistent threat , although some people are already telling me Google v China with respect to APT is “silly,” or that the attack vectors were what everyone has been talking about for years, and were somewhat sloppily orchestrated at that. I think many of these critics are missing the...
Nice essay by sociologist Frank Furedi on worse-case thinking, exemplified by our reaction to the Icelandic volcano: I am not a natural scientist, and I claim no authority to say anything of value about the risks posed by volcanic ash clouds to flying aircraft. However, as a sociologist interested in the process of decision-making, it is evident to...
Today the Ponemon Institute announced results of a survey they conducted titled Growing Risk of Advanced Threats: Study of IT Practitioners in the United States .

Space terrorism? Yes, space terrorism. This article, by someone at the European Space Policy Institute, hypes a terrorst threat I’ve never seen hyped before. The author waves a bunch of scare stories around, and then concludes that “the threat of ‘Space Terrorism’ is both real and latent,” then talks about countermeasures....

In my last post I mentioned the need to take threat-centric approaches to advanced persistent threat .

There’s finally some good reporting on advanced persistent threat appearing in various news sources. A new Christian Science Monitor story, one by Federal Computer Week , and one by Wired are making progress in raising awareness.
