Shredding the Paper Tiger of Cyberterrorism
Richard Forno, 2002-09-25

Political posturing about cyberterrorism is a red herring that takes attention away from the real issues of information security.

Ive read through some of the articles and noted that people seem to think that a dam or powerplant is reachable hrough a dialin conn. However this is not the case these are seperate systems with no outgoing connection there for its not possible to communicate with the boxes that are used to lower the uranium cooling bars or something simular destructive if used as a weapon. Cb terrorisme would be used as means to gather info like building plans and other vital information before one would strike. in my opinion the most destructive thing would be a worm wich uses the latest port scaning tech and has a deadly payload that disables the isp servers rendering the web unaccessable now that would be a bad hair day or a good ddos atack or whatever. plenty of ways to lag out the web thanks to Micro$oft'$ PERFECT os....... - maybe people should use more linux instead of Microdorks os - ... TC and happy codings
