    I worked counter-cyber @NSAGov using pre-reform mass surveillance. Problem is attribution can't happen unless the adversary makes mistakes.https://twitter.com/jeremiahg/status/927975743165833216 …

    I was on a panel w/ Gen. Hayden who wanted power to respond kinetically to cyber-attacks, after we discussed the difficulty of attribution.

        In routine CNE (hacking) ops, adversaries don't care that much about getting caught. They reuse tools and C2 infrastructure which ID them.

        ...Because there are no meaningful consequences for getting caught relative to the effort of developing a new ops kit and infrastructure.

        If govs launch kinetic attacks in response to hacks, even the laziest CNE operators will use misattributable kit & C2. Sound good? It's not.

        And obviously when a spy agencies carries out an attack it prefers to first hop onto some network it had hijacked, e.g. North Korea's

        Not to mention that once kinetic response is authorized, the game will be for attackers to divert attribution to their enemies.

        And it would be woefully simple to frame a hack. And be able to use the US military to perform kinetic attacks on a hackers behalf.

        This is critical for non-tech folks to understand. Any state actors WILL obfuscate their actions or leave fingerprints of other actors.

        Vault 7 showed us CIA could conduct a cyber attack, leave Russian fingerprints and then use that as justification for Kinetic retaliation

        Not that they would or would not but this is the abuse that is possible with what Hayden argues for while attribution isn't reliable.
