Since Stuxnet emerged in 2010, cyber warfare has truly entered into public discourse. But what is cyber war and what do we really know about it? Much has been written about the topic that has taken a solely information assurance perspective or a purely policy perspective. The former tends to focus on low-level technical details that are already described extensively in computer security books, whereas the latter emphasizes high-level policy decisions that most readers can do little to affect. All the while, details of the highly interesting cyber incidents are often overlooked. As a result of this omission, the current literature leaves a very basic question unanswered: how have human beings conducted cyber-warfare?
In this book, we seek to close the gap and provide the reader with numerous case studies highlighting what we felt were some key aspects of cyber war. Our interdisciplinary approach includes plenty of technical information assurance details, although these are not the sole focus of the book. In each case study, we also attempt to highlight relevant military, policy, social, and scientific issues at play. We hope that reading this book is a great learning experience for the readeras writing it certainly was for the authors.

The concept of cyber warfare has now become a regular part of public discourse. It dominates the contents of popular technical outlets such as Wired and SlashDot; it often appears in the more general media such as CNN, it has become a political priority in the United States, and a major concern for militaries around the world. But what do we know about this new dimension of conflict? There are many pundits that would have you believe that cyber warfare has put the world on edgeat any moment, the worlds computer systems can be sent into chaos by a clever teenager at a keyboard. On the other extreme, there are those who think that cyber warfare is overhypeda minor issue exaggerated by computer security firms and defense contractors to line their pockets. As with many issues, the real answer lies somewhere in between. While it is true that cyber weaponry can potentially cause great damage, we must also understand that when these weapons are used to further political means, the actors in question operate under certain constraintsand cannot wield these hi-tech instruments without encountering various consequences. So then the question becomes how are cyber warriors using these weapons in a political conflict? This suggests the need to study a history of sorts. Such a history of cyber is exactly what is presented in this book.
This book is a one-of-a-kind anthology of cyber case studies. As the cyber domain of warfare is very technical in nature, such details, mainly regarding information assurance, are a must. However, as the Internet has grown in a way where it touches many facets of our lives, studying cyber warfare in the vacuum of information assurance would lead us to place the incidents out of context. As this domain evolves, so must cyber warriorsand these warriors will need to look at problems in this area from many dimensions. Paulo, Jana, and Andrew are truly an interdisciplinary team, and this is reflected throughout this book. Relying on Paulos computer science background and military experience, Janas expertise in the social sciences and violent conflict, and Andrews industry experience as a security practitioner, this book weaves together the requisite interdisciplinary threads to allow the reader to appreciate the tapestry that is cyber warfare.
Cyber is a hot area today and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. As societys dependence on technology is a given, its dependence on
