Cyber Capabilities
Example
IT 298 / Bohman
January 6th, 2014
Cyber Capabilities – U.S.
Offense
Aggressive espionage through the planting of logic bombs in
foreign countries’ infrastructure in preparation of potential
cyber warfare
Exploitation of system vulnerabilities and ability to create back
doors using cyberweaponry
Pretargeted cyber weapons
Global connectivity maps giving rise to “network situational
awareness,” which shows geographical location, software,
potential malware infections, and exploitations
Defense
The Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland
Security, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Task forces and cyber squads specially trained to identify and
combat detected computer and network intrusions
National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace:
http://www.defense.gov/home/features/2010/0410_cybersec/doc
s/cyberspace_strategy%5B1%5D.pdf

(U.S. Department of Justice, 2013)
Cyber Capabilities – China
Offense
Implementation of logic bombs in countries’ systems that have
potential to be a threat in the future, or countries whose
information is worth taking
Asymmetric Warfare – Using obsolete forms of weaponry and
combat against one more advanced
Knowledge syphoning leading to leaps and bounds in
technological prowess
Defense
Information Dominance – The country with the most gathered
information is the country that prevails
Ability to cut off sections of power to forego an entire blackout
to a better extent than the U.S.
Lowered dependence on network systems
(Clarke & Knake, 2012)

Cyber Capabilities – Russia
Offense
Heightened espionage and exploitation abilities that are rarely
exposed
Broad view of information espionage that is integrated in
military tactics
“…intelligence, counterintelligence, deceit, disinformation,
electronic warfare, debilitation of communications, degradation
of navigation support, psychological pressure, degradation of
information systems and propaganda.”
Perfected Distributed Denial of Service attacks and botnets
through test runs
Defense
Integrated military tactics are within the boundaries of Russian
law
Three main security objectives:
Protect strategically important information
Protect against dangerous foreign information
Instill patriotism and values in citizens
Uses youth groups to enact risky actions for added security and
diminished pay
(Smith, 2012)
Cyber Capabilities – Others
“Other nations known to have skilled cyber war units are Israel

and France. U.S. intelligence officials have suggested that
there are twenty to thirty militaries with respectable cyber war
capability, including those of Taiwan, Iran, Australia, South
Korea, India, Pakistan, and several NATO states.”
Cyber Capabilities – Others
Offense
Australia – Developing offensive techniques that could destroy
systems, exploitation of cyber power
(Joye & Kerin, 2013)
North Korea – Training for youth to become professional
hackers, No. 91 Office (for computer hacking), espionage,
DDoS attacks
(Paganini, 2012)
Defense
Australia – Attractive target for attackers, Cyber Security
Operations Centre responds to large threats
(Joye & Kerin, 2013)
North Korea – Lab 110 (technology reconnaissance team)

Who Might Win in a Real Cyberwar?
It is difficult to say who would win in the event of a cyber war,
as victory would depend on numerous factors that are difficult –
if impossible – to predict. A country must display prominent
tactics regarding both the offensive and defensive capabilities,
unless a one-hit offense were enacted at the very beginning.
Armed with the best possible reaction times and defense plans
in a cyber crisis, to allow for recovery and counteraction to take
place, has potential to offer stability in a nation hit by a cyber
attack. In the end, however, it is all a matter of who is left
standing after the damage has been done.
