DARPA Cyber Range Project Doomed to Failure

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the long-way-behind-the-power-curve dept.

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."

    If I had a simulation of the entire Internet, it'd be all over for me. I mean, there would then be absolutely no reason for me to leave my house. I'd just sit inside all day playing with this simulation of the Internet.

    I beg to differ with you on that.

    I took the lead, and went ahead and created the Internet. Now DARPA is trying to rip me off. Luckily the Earth is going to self-combust here in a matter of 12-18 months, so DARPA probably won't have enough time to pull off this dastardly deed.

    The fundamental cyber attack:

    1) get enemy's AIM s/n and post it on a public chat room with a cute profile picture.
    2) Soon enough all of enemy's supercomputers will be flooded with trillian windows with "a/s/l" and "wanna cyber?" messages
    3) ???
    4) Profit!!!

    Cheers!
