Microsoft Calls For 'Digital Geneva Convention' (usatoday.com)
Microsoft is calling for a digital Geneva Convention to outline protections for civilians and companies from government-sponsored cyberattacks. In comments Tuesday at the RSA security industry conference in San Francisco, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said the rising trend of government entities wielding the internet as a weapon was worrying. From a report on USA Today: In the cyber realm, tech must be committed to "100% defense and zero percent offense," Smith said at the opening keynote at the RSA computer security conference. Smith called for a "digital Geneva Convention," like the one created in the aftermath of World War II which set ground rules for how conduct during wartime, defining basic rights for civilians caught up armed conflicts. In the 21st century such rules are needed "to commit governments to protect civilians from nation-state attacks in times of peace," a draft of Smith's speech released to USA TODAY said. This digital Geneva Convention would establish protocols, norms and international processes for how tech companies would deal with cyber aggression and attacks of nations aimed at civilian targets, which appears to effectively mean anything but military servers.
Because theirs is by far the most architecturally broken and bodged, therefore most insecure and vulnerable OS.
If you want peace you need to start by committing not to attack the other side, only to ever defend yourself.

Maybe we should restore general law literacy first. The way things currently are, law is enforced strictly at the whims of the powerful.
or paraphrasing: "digital black ops teams and false flags for the win" wait - that's what we already have.
Requiem for the American Dream
Just as long as.... as unleashing Clippy on the world is deemed a war crime.
Why not a "digital land mine treaty" while we're at it?
Perhaps there's a good reason to call it a 'digital Geneva Convention' - It's basically a nice guideline to point to that the US browbeats others with, only to fail to ratify into law and enforce themselves.
Without an enforcement body, this is meaningless. Who would you trust to enforce it anyway, MICROSOFT? Why not just call it a digital waste of time.
Good luck with that, MS. The adversaries out there are not just nations who might have something to gain by playing fair or following rules due to game theory, but terrorist groups, criminal organizations, heck, even disaffected college students. Unlike conventional weapons that require expensive physical objects, a massive DDoS can be launched from a cast-off 486 as the top level command console as it can from a high-end supercomputer.
The main focus needs to be on "Great Wall of xxx", "xxx" being the country. If this isn't thought of now, it will be done by the government when some cyber-terrorism event happens that gets knee-jerk reactions going (think the USAPATRIOT act.) China has their Great Firewall. Iran is building their own Internet. Australia is in the process of building their nationwide firewall. Blocking attacks from other countries is going to be an issue sooner or later.
A second focus needs to be on LARTing IoT makers to follow a ground up security design. A hub (or hubs for redundancy) and spoke system, so IoT devices do their communication through a hardened hub that only allows the devices to communicate with what sites the signed manufacturer's manifest allows (and 0.0.0.0/0 is not allowed directly.) As it stands now, there is actually a punishment for IoT makers to design any security in their products. Mainly because if v1.0 has a security hole, when IoT maker makes 1.1, all the owners of Device 1.0 will upgrade or else face being pwned. If the IoT maker did updates, they would lose out on that revenue, plus to them, every dollar spent on security is a dollar with no ROI. Unless pressure is placed on IoT makers, we will be seeing exponentially worse DDoS attacks when every fridge, microwave, smart TV, sex toy, and doorbell be used for it.
sounds like some silly thing a big VP does to waste everyone's time. All MS employees better rally your goals around this...it'll help at bonus time.
Thanks to the NSA and CIA, and such "rules" will have so many back doors that they will be useless.
Rules get ignored and circumvented. Devices and software have backdoors. I don't see how to make sense attempting to apply the concept in one area to the other.

ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI!?
How do you enforce a digital Geneva convention?
You unfriend any nation state from your nation's facebook page if they break the convention? The regular Geneva Convention is hard enough to enforce, a digital one will be even harder because it's harder to prove an actor is really from a location or nation. Even if an assailant traced back to Russia is caught breaking the convention online and Russia "fails to catch" the person responsible they can claim he was a Ukrainian acting on behalf of Ukraine from within their borders.
Even the regular Geneva Convention isn't really respected anymore. You've got the US brazenly violating it in Gitmo. Iraqi troops during the gulf war were violating it. No-one really takes it seriously anymore.
"That's the way to do it" - Punch
Or law in general anymore. Law only gets enforced at the whim of the powerful. For that matter, it's hard to tell what anyone takes seriously anymore, as most people seem to be more eager to be ground underfoot than the people doing the grinding.
What about the legions of drone emo kids and disaffected nascar fans that are turned toward pushing state propaganda without even knowing that's what they're doing?
True, every Intel and AMD chip has hardware backdoor in them call the Intel Management Engine, it's not even x86, it's a ARC/RISC chip and runs Java, operate completely transparent to the OS.
The Intel ME firmware is inside the chipset so you can't even flush it with a BIOS upgrade, you have to buy a raspery pi and us GPIO to manually remove the backdoor firmware by using a clip to grab the chipset, downloading the rom, remove Intel ME from the rom with me_cleaner, then flush it back to the chip.
https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelme
Intel Management Engine (ME) #intelme
In Q3 2009, the first generation of Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) CPUs and the 5 Series Chipset family of Platform Controller Hubs, or PCHs, brought a more tightly integrated ME (now at version 6.0) inside the PCH chip, which itself replaced the ICH. Thus, the ME is present on all Intel desktop, mobile (laptop), and server systems since mid 2006.
The ME consists of an ARC processor core (replaced with other processor cores in later generations of the ME), code and data caches, a timer, and a secure internal bus to which additional devices are connected, including a cryptography engine, internal ROM and RAM, memory controllers, and a direct memory access (DMA) engine to access the host operating system's memory as well as to reserve a region of protected external memory to supplement the ME's limited internal RAM. The ME also has network access with its own MAC address through an Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Its boot program, stored on the internal ROM, loads a firmware "manifest" from the PC's SPI flash chip. This manifest is signed with a strong cryptographic key, which differs between versions of the ME firmware. If the manifest isn't signed by a specific Intel key, the boot ROM won't load and execute the firmware and the ME processor core will be halted.
Worse, powershell has api to connect to the firmware, all a hacker needs to do is tap into powershell and he'll instantly have KVM access and complete memory and disk control, as demonstrated by the video below:
Itâ(TM)s a sign of the times: the first day of the 33rd Chaos Communications Congress (33C3) included two talks related to assuring that your own computer wasnâ(TM)t being turned against you. The two talks are respectively practical and idealistic, realizable today and a work thatâ(TM)s still in the idea stage.
Untrusting the CPU
A proposal for secure computing in an age where we cannot trust our CPUs anymore
You can't trust your CPU anymore, it's rigged with NSA backdoor.
In the "real" world, it's reasonable to have governments agree to not attack each other in certain ways. There are practical limits to who all is able to field armies and artillery, fly bombers, etc. This stuff costs money, if nothing else, so that alone keeps it a relatively manageable-sized club. And it's detectable so most governments won't tolerate non-government entities having much of this type of power.
The club of potential offenders is small.
But of course, 9/11 did happen, so you see the limitations on trying to enumerate everyone who needs to agree that missiles have to behave in a certain way. And for decades (especially after the fall of the USSR) people have predicted, or at least feared, non-government nuclear armed powers. Good luck getting any of these types of people to identify themselves and agree to sign treaties. Even the in real world, we see the limits of social solutions.
Many forms of network attack don't really have high requirements. Anyone can do it, not just governments. Governments might have funds to be able scale up certain types of surveillance-oriented attacks, but I think it's settled that plenty of other people are able to scale up in certain ways, as demonstrated with every DDoS story.
Whoever does those DDos attacks is not going to sign your treaty, even if USA and Russia and China do. And by "whoever" I really mean "whoevers." So you're talking about some kind of agreement, where most of the involved parties are not going to be part of it. What's the point of that? Its analogous to a physical world where there are tens of thousands of anonymous nuclear powers.
If you lived in a world where there were tens of thousands of anonymous nuclear powers, you wouldn't take treaties or conventions as a serious solution to your problems.
The solution, if there is one at all, is to attempt to become effectively resistant to attacks, rather than futilely trying to prevent/discourage/deter them. Systems should be designed with the vision that they will be mercilessly attacked by anonymous, unaccountable parties, because that's the real environment into which they'll be deployed. You can't agree your way out of that problem.
We've vacuumed up and stored so much data on everyone at this point that if someone hacks our database, everything will literally be on fire.

Damn near back to back! Does Slashdot give as many props to Apple?
And this while your President Trump remains so glib in the middle of a crisis...
Given the asymmetry of force against Ukraine, the Ukranians most certainly should have engaged in vicious economic warfare on Russian soil.
how about an agreement that forces the OS makers off the user's data? No? You mean you'd have to significantly alter Win 10 to pass those new rules?
Hey, Microsoft!
Start making secure software, redesign the piece of garbage you call an OS to actually have security as something that's not just tacked on and an afterthought and you wouldn't have to cry for mercy now.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
A guaranteed right for civilians to strike back against state-sponsored attacks that should not be targeting them should be enshrined into law. All forms of warfare. Collateral damage? No fucking longer, because it will be your ass.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
If your business is working for a warring faction, like say the government of USA, you are as threatening as any enemy combatant.
I'd rather prefer protection from greedy megacorps like... Microsoft.
Does that mean that NSA, FBI, IRS, etc. would not "attack my server?" This is the most
idiotic idea that anyone ever not thought through. Its a total non-starter. I thought even
Clintonite Democrats from Washington and California were smarter than that.
Would this make any serious impact though? Vast majority of cyber attacks aren't the life-and-death ones like bringing down the power grid. They are the more gray areas, espionage and theft, that nation-states may not be as quick to sign up for. If anything, many nations, including Western ones, view economic espionage as a civic duty in a global economic zero sum game. Why would they sign up for that? In addition, you nation-states already tend to use "non-state" actors to give them plausible deniability. Oh those hackers who hit your grid - just some vagrant teenagers.
If you aren't running Insider builds you really aren't looking after your own interests. That's what I do. I also handle things for my Mom, but she mostly uses it to play Facebook games and other Facebooky things. She does what in her world amounts to "serious stuff" on an Android phone I picked out for her. I also picked out her "Facebook computer".
Maybe I "enable" my mom too much.
If you take the United kindom as an example. Here many non front line defence services are being outsourced to companies. Very shortly the the only cyberwarfare will be companies tasked by government. How do you differentiate between companies and government when you have a government who's primary objective is privatisation.
I've twice tried to submit a story where we could all get together and issue our friendly challenges regarding Slashdot but they were declined. Eventually I'll likely work up the gumption to try again. Anybody else like to have a go?
Enemy fighters are only protected when they fight in uniform, as a traditional military force would do. ("name, rank, serial number?")
According to the Geneva convention, we can do anything we want with the random fighters we tossed into Gitmo. We can break their bones, then toss them in a pen with starving pigs. It's all good.
Rules get ignored and circumvented. Devices and software have backdoors. I don't see how to make sense attempting to apply the concept in one area to the other.
Sorry, poor terminology choice. I should have said "exceptions" or "loopholes."
I actually want a Home product that is maintainable. I have health problems though, so my cash is at a premium. I try to make use of Home, but there are features of Pro that would make my life easier in maintaining my and my mom's computers. Then there's no product for maintaining home devices. For that matter, diagnostic messages and recovery procedures of devices and software are garbage. My phone today would attempt to connect to my home network and then not do it. No error message or anything.
All right, so you have 32-bit Windows. It puts stuff in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. You then bolt on 64-bit Windows. Do you put the 64-bit stuff in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM64? Not if you're Microsoft. For them, the correct answer is to put the 64-bit stuff in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and put the stuff for 32-bit programs that turn them into 64-bit calls into C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64
Hoped I helped. Society is already badly frayed and this is an area which could result in Tower of Babel levels of falling out if we don't tend to it.
Comparing a desktop operating system. especially one for home use, to a server operating system, is not useful.
I have a saying. National sovereignty is a violation of personal sovereignty. I need to further develop my philosophy, but you gotta start somewhere.
Originally Windows was essentially a shell over MS-DOS. At that time, Windows was 16-bit and SYSTEM was the directory. Some stuff kind of still wants other stuff there, and this matters in the 32-bit versions of Windows which can still run 15-bit Windows programs and many DOS programs. The transition to 32-bit was not the major compatibility breaking change you say it is. 16-bit calls were thunked to 32-bit routines just as 32-bit calls are now thunked to 64-bit routines in 54-bit versions of Windows.
.. that such a convention would not be followed by the United States at the very least.
Our intelligence and governments are beyond control at the moment, and even if laws are brought in to prevent such activities, they will just do so secretly and do whatever they can to silence whistleblowers exposing these activities.
In a country that does not respect the Geneva convention and likes to torture innocent people until they confess to be guilty.
First, anybody with an ounce of historical knowledge knows that very few have ever truly lived up to the Geneva Convention. When nations who are signatories figure that adherence will not cost them a war, they live up to it to some extent for good PR. When nations feel that adherence may cost them more than the good PR they do not adhere to it. It's also important to remember that many of the world's worst actors are not signatories and thus are not subject to it. Example: while the Americans and the Brits adhered to in in WWII and the NAZI Germans sort of pretended to with their American and Brit POWs, the Japanese killed and ATE some of their American and Brit POWs.... so much for the Geneva Conventions.
Second, if companies like Microsoft would simply stop peddling buggy and vulnerable CRAP (and bribing/propagandizing governments to use it for the public interest) then there would be no NEED for a "gentlemen's agreement" to behave properly. Rather than publicly pushing for the computer equivalent of voluntary gun control (getting the best people to promise to be more polite while doing nothing about the truly bad actors and leaving those guys fully-armed), and in doing so further fooling the public into thinking they have security, Microsoft should stop importing so many bad Indian H1B coders and actually FIX THEIR VULNERABLE AND BUG-RIDDEN PRODUCTS.
Are security protocols that broken at larger organizations or is it just Microsoft asking for government protection from improving and finding bugs in their software?
It's easy to defend against a security attack, you could use perhaps a large amount of sites small enough to be managed by a 2 or 3 man team and then connect those sites with a network that takes different routes around when one goes missing. We could have ARPA develop the thing and call it ARPAnet.

The NSA isn't snooping on Facebook and Gmail because they expect to find Chinese and Russian military secrets there. Almost all active conflicts now are asymmetric warfare where at least one of the parties aren't enrolled in regular armies of any kind, it's just people. They don't dress up in uniform, they don't have any particular military infrastructure, they hide among the civilian population in civilian buildings and use civilian tools. The general population's freedom, privacy and anonymity will come under attack again and again. I can wave a convention at the NSA all I want, they don't care. What we need are hardened tools, better transparency and more control. And the legal protection to be able to use those tools freely.

Trying to make sense out of this strange proposal:
To date, the Geneva convention works great for countries with something to loose, but small fry ignore it.
Don't see why it would be any different is the new fangled 'cyber space'.
That says that any agreement is not for small fry.
Still, it might be nice to have some expected rules of war so that a cyber attack taking out the power grid does not cause a real, nuclear return fire.
ps:
More likely idea behind this:
Cyber attacks require vulnerabilities (IE, bugs) to attack.
I can see that this might make sense to the folks who have single handedly created the most attack surface on the planet.
pps:
It's interesting that in the above abbreviation for 'that is' is also the the name of Internet Explorer. (take out the comma after IE, and it may be a more valid sentence?)

where all the signatory companies agree to spend a minimum percentage of gross profits on making their products secure. And, they could agree to cooperate with other digital defense treaty companies on security matters.
I hate Window$ and most Micro$oft products, but even Satan was once an Angel and though many many many Linux users have tried to get people together and have a serious discussion regarding privacy, many of our open source licenses fall short in regards to how the software can be used, including how Window$ steals code all the time and adds backdoors. Well, a lot of people like Window$ and know nothing of Linux's existence (sad). So, feelings aside, this may actually be the first thing they've done that I actually like and may help if they really try to include everyone and it not just be a bunch of Window$ and Mac users scratching each others backs. Linus Torvalds better be there.

"Meanwhile, as I've proven (and as Microsoft has proven) time and time again, HOSTs is bypassed by the OS and browsers AT WILL. You fucking moron" - by Khyber (864651) on Thursday February 16, 2017 @10:16AM (#53879751)
Where do hosts get bypassed no mind? Windows Update ONLY stupid fuck!
Even our other /. peers KNOW that but you don't https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=9452517&cid=52602309/
The only way a browser can 'bypass' hosts is hardcodes internally OR using IP addresses vs. hostnames (who the f is stupid enough to do that? Not most).
Lastly: Each of the security/web experts I quoted say hosts = good speed & security + plenty of our /. peers support my work liking & using it unlike YOU, blowhard!
Some of them even HOST & RECOMMEND my work (not yours, loser).

* You're resolving slower - nothing's faster than hosts locally resolving the way MY program makes it for host-domain names @ TOP of hosts cached in RAM & faster when I tweak the registry too as shown below turning off the broken w/ large hosts file USERMODE SLOWER defective dnscache service (going PURE kernelmode to kernelmode TCIPIP.SYS to kernelmode diskcache subsystem)
The ONLY way a browser can bypass it is IF you use IP addresses - tell me: HOW do you do that when you don't know an IP address? Slower is how, see above.

See subject & as to your california connection? I see it's jailtime for YOU http://www.cadailysun.com/news/california/man-jailed-on-multiple-counts/11506041.html & protection of hosts being overwritten for Windows Update = smart (my program protects hosts above & beyond WFP/SFP + ACL windows uses for that w/ hardcoded windows update servers for WinUpdate).
