The following month, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will meet with contractors who would like to offer a "revolutionary technology" of cyber war. Experts are worrying that this practice will unleash a global race "computer arms". On this background, Iran creates "halal" Internet, and China has "Golden Shield". But Russia has not proposed any countermeasures yet.
U.S. prepares for cyber war "Plan X". In the next five years they will spend $ 110 million to create the technology that develops a "high-tech" worm, futuristic malicious software with ultra-new monitoring tools, as well as a huge visual map for cyber war. To discuss the ambitious project government officials and contractors will be attract in a middle of October, there will be a seminar about the information technology innovation.
New York Times expert call this step "a turning point". He believes that it will take a lot of time, because 12 from the 15 largest armies in the world have each cyber program. "If we are talking openly about offensive nuclear and other media, why not just talk about cyber resources?" - Said James Lewis from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Now it is about to "lift the veil", to demonstrate the importance Washington attaches "future wars", and set its own rules on the cyber fight. However, the director of the Association of Arms Control Daryl Kimball warned: this may cause other countries to join the race cyber resources. They determine that the Pentagon wants to unleash a cyber-war, and therefore created a "Plan X".
In fact, this process has already started, for example, in the confrontation with Iran. The other day Tehran announced it was developing new protection in the event of cyber-warfare, which, according to the military, is "more dangerous than a real war." The U.S. and Israel have tried to disable Iran's nuclear facilities by the worm Stuxnet, and, according to some analysts, as opposed to the possibility air bombing on this path is a reachable perfect result. To protect them, Tehran, for example, is developing a national Internet, which has been nicknamed "halal". There are reports that its first step was launched in government departments on September 21. By the beginning of 2013 all the Iranian universities will be connected to the Internet. And in light of the appearance of anti-Islamic film "Innocent of Muslims" Tehran has blocked access to the resources of Google and Gmail, not to mention the fact that about 5 million sites (including such popular in the West, social networks like Twitter and Facebook) in Iran have been closed for a long time (He ranks fourth in the world for censorship). The decision to get out of the World Wide Web Iranians among others justify the need to protect the "religious and national values", they may also be undermining cyber-war stage.
China chose a similar path. In a country where the population has long been put into "cyber-war" position, information is filtered by a censorship mechanism called "Golden Shield," also known as "The Great fire-wall." Despite the coverage rates for the Internet (less than 40% in China, 78% in the U.S. and 82% in the UK) and the international status of English, due to the huge population China breaks first. According to the most recent forecasts, by 2015, Chinese online English surpasses the number of users (in May 2011, the ratio was 565 to 510 million people, or 27 and 24% of the network).
Thus, during the "Arab" scenarios and "who emerged from the social networks," the Iranians and the Chinese take into account the political cyber-war factor. Now try to understand the problem in Russia. Thus, the report "Runet today," prepared by the Civil Society Fund, shows the potential role of western resources during elections in the years 2016-2018. It turned out that the destabilization of society technologies that were used in the Middle East, has already been "tested" on the Russians and the main instruments were the Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It's about sending invitations to the opposition campaign on social networks, mass purchase of entertainment communities and their transformation into a political protest, political spam mailing, the document says.
The fact that five of the twenty most popular sites Runet in origin not Russian (it's Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter) caused anxiety and therefore, "while maintaining the trend a few years may be a situation where a large Runet part will be controlled by foreign service. " Considerable importance is the fact that foreign companies are actively "crushes under a" domestic giants Runet by investing in relevant concerns. For example, the search engine "Yandex" has been registered in the Netherlands.
What will be the domestic response to cyber threats, so subtly bordering on civil liberties, is unclear. According to the President of the Civil Society Fund Konstantin Kostin, we "ascertain fairly obvious trends, and in any case do not call anyone to any action.
I hope that the actions will be positive. "
Americans want to make a revolution in the technology of cyberwar.
