Hi folks, Came across this paper "On the Rules of Engagement" from Symbiot Inc proposes that a strong network defense system is not deterrent enough. They suggest countermeasures by "returning fire" against the attackers network, basically attack the attackers networks. If I am not mistaken, this is the first time such an approach has been formalised. Its gonna be worth seeing how this is taken forward. http://symbiot.com/media/iwROE.pdf Heres an interesting interview by onlamp.com with the writer of this paper http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/security/2004/03/10/symbiot.html Regards Steven Rebello MASTEK "Making a valuable difference" Mastek in NASSCOM's 'India Top 20' Software Service Exporters List. In the US, we're called MAJESCO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opinions expressed in this e-mail are those of the individual and not that of Mastek Limited, unless specifically indicated to that effect.
