DARPA Cyber Range Project Doomed to Failure

carusoj writes "Former black-hat hacker Noah Schiffman details why DARPA's National Cyber Range project is bound to fail. The NCR is proposed as a simulation of the Internet, including replicating 'human behavior and frailties.' Schiffman argues that if the Defense Department is really building something of this scope, it might as well use the actual Internet."

With a simulation you can always try out various senarios from the same starting condition. Which on the real Internet would be impossible. As to the cost of building said simulator being as the net itself is 'well' documented and is in essence all software then building a simulator should be no problem. It is certianly not a $30B project. Unless of course the Government and its favorite contractors are involved.
