US Air Force Launches Newest Cyber ​​Attack System

57
The US Air Force began to use a new system that protects computers departments from hacker attacks, reports TASS the message "The Wall Street Journal".



The Pentagon announces the new product as "armory system ”, one of the most powerful of its kind, capable of protecting up to a million users.

“In simple terms, this is a very solid barrier,” the newspaper quotes the words of Colonel VVS Pamela Vuli. “It allows you to check the incoming flow of information for the presence of any computer viruses and block them.” The system is constantly updated.

“It is becoming more complex every day,” Vuli added. - The new tool in the Pentagon’s digital arsenal is intended only for protection and cannot be used to attack other people's computers. We are not currently trying to use the cyber sphere for military purposes. "

“We are definitely not trying to operate outside the Air Force network,” she said.

According to the newspaper, weekly committed "several billion attempts to establish an unauthorized connection with the US Air Force computers." According to the military, their "networks are constantly under attack in the cybersphere."

Due to hacker attacks, the Pentagon is currently looking for a suitable option to create additional cyber units, staffed by officers.

“Together with the National Guard and reserve forces, we are looking for a way to recruit and mobilize them, how to manage them. Many incidents happen. Not that they are needed for a year, they are usually needed for about ten days, ”said Edward Cardon, head of the US Cyber ​​Command Command.

Now in the structure of the Pentagon, 133 of the cyber squad function, in which 9 thousand military men serve. This year their number is planned to increase to 41 thousand.

      And on the part of the US Air Force, trying to establish an unauthorized connection with the computers of the Air Forces of other countries is, in principle, not prohibited at all, because they, the Americans, are "chosen ones"! They can - they have already allowed themselves this long ago. Do not even doubt it!
      Thus, the US Air Force computer system will work both on defense and on attack! And why should people hang noodles on their ears? Would be silent better.

      I don’t know if it’s upsetting you, but ciphers already exist, hacking them will require so much resources and time that there simply isn’t any real information for such a value, in particular, just imagining a system where the key is several times longer than the message itself.

      According to the read comments - weak prepared comrades confuse hacking systems with writing malware, searching for system vulnerabilities and creating vulnerabilities are two different things.

      According to sabzh, the weakest link is not a machine, but a person, it is often much easier to "hack" it - social engineering, neuro-linguistic programming, negligence.
      So a million "protected" users will fix it themselves))

        I’m talking about what, in the 80s, a circular grinding machine from Siemens came to the plant, so our engineers, so as not to bother with air conditioning, air filtration, plus positioning. A few days broke their heads and circuits, and started the machine.

          Well, getting around blocking a big mind is not required. And what, positioning is also disabled ??? laughing Well ... But seriously, how did this affect the accuracy of processing and increase the flow of equipment failures? All my life I worked on the repair of CNC machines and I know what I’m talking about (though I didn’t do such things myself, but I know how it happened at other enterprises). It would seem: obana! It works without filtering and without cooling! It’s only after a couple of months that it turns out that the accuracy does not give and the electronics began to pour in. That saved on air conditioners ...

      Offended student hacked the St. Petersburg exam site (1 screenshot)
      Posted by: TriniBot
      17-06-2012, 21:46


      "The official website of the St. Petersburg Unified State Exam (ege.spb.ru), which published the results of the state exam,
      was hacked by an unknown hacker who did not pass the exam :)
      In the afternoon of June 15, a message appeared on the site: “After passing the exam, I don’t have enough points to enter the computer security faculty. They will have to provide work for those who have entered. ”
      Also on the website of the exam was posted images of a man in a mask of Guy Fawkes,
      characteristic of the hacking movement called Anonymous. "

      Old information about "safety" but actual. There is no true endings in the style of "everyone is happy and satisfied". And it's not clear how the guy with the exam is. And if you imagine that he has already graduated from the university, it is too early for Americans to rejoice hi .

    The most reliable system from external cyberattacks is disconnecting servers from the system. I pulled out the cord and that’s all) Not a lock that can’t pick up a key. If the key is not selected, then the lock can be broken! right?)
    Bullshit is all that. It seems that in all spheres of human activity they are trying to incorporate certain rules of use. And even after that, the implementers are sure that it will be according to these rules that everyone will act.
    Tell me, which one of you will puzzle us to open a padlock on a barn with a lost key? they simply knock it down or cut it off. then buy a new one
    Similarly, in data protection systems. Hacking the system makes sense when there is a need to "hijack" some data so that the enemy could not find out about it for some time. When the task is to "drop" the server, there are already other methods. There is no need to strive to preserve, you just need to break.
    Here in American films, the cliche is very common, that if a thief crawls into the house, then for some reason he crawls through the glass door, trying to open the lock that locks it? Why, when can you just break the glass? Or is the thief worried about the order that you must definitely leave behind?)
    All protection systems are designed for non-professionals. A professional will always solve the problem.
