Architecture and Background

SensePost - Putting The Tea Back Into CyberTerrorism Putting The Tea Back Into CyberTerrorism Many talks these days revolve around cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. Some experts suggest such attacks could be effective - others say that targetted country-wide cyberterrorism is just for the movies...or a Tom Clancy book. In this talk we look at very practical examples of possible approaches to Internet driven Cyber Warfare/Terrorism. The talk will include an online demo of a framework designed to perform closely focussed country-wide cyber attacks.
