Recently, we are all highly alert to the situation where the US military launched the "Doom Plan" and used it as a sign of war preparation. In fact, the United States' "Cyber War Doomsday Plan" has quietly started. The so-called entry of the "Pearl Harbor Moment" in the United States also reminds us of the former US Secretary of Defense's vigilance against "Cyber Pearl Harbor" and "Cyber 911".
Cyber Warfare is called a nuclear weapon in the Information Age by Rand, a famous American think tank!
Judging from the current practice of cyber attacks, cyber warfare is already a nuclear weapon that can explode. The US cyber strategy has moved from deterrence to action. Last year, the Venezuelan power grid was paralyzed on a large scale. Trump directly declared war on Iran to attack its military accusation system. Pentagon officials revealed malicious code lurking in the Russian power grid that can be paralyzed on a large scale. All of this shows that the US military's cyber warfare is still in wartime even in peacetime! Whether war is declared or not is in war!
From the current US cyber war readiness, the meaning of the network "Pearl Harbor Moment" seems to be not on defense, but on offense!
power system is the main target of cyber warfare. The paralysis of Ukrainian power grid and the large-scale paralysis of Venezuela's national power grid are all warfare cases
. The more dependent and clear, the more fear it is. The United States has been strictly guarding against "Net Pearl Harbor" and "Network 911"
The United States is the creator of the Internet and the initiator of cyber warfare. It is the country with the earliest preparations for cyber warfare, the most practical network combat, and the strongest network power in the world. In 2012, US Secretary of Defense Panetta warned that the United States may face a "Cyber Pearl Harbor" incident. "Cyber attacks can destroy the operation of passenger trains, pollute water supply or shut down most of the electricity supply in the United States. It can be called the online version of the "Pearl Harbor incident". It will cause a large amount of physical damage and casualties, paralyze social operations, shock the public, and create a new sense of fear. "
In fact, the mechanism and transmission methods of biological virus and cybersecurity virus are very similar. The "Shocknet Virus" in 2010 paralyzes more than 1,000 centrifuges that can be associated with nuclear leakage, demonstrating the accuracy of attacks by cyber weapons; the ransomware "Eternal Blue" in 2017 highlights the great damage of cyber weapons; the US-Iran confrontation at the beginning of 2020 declares the courage of cyber weapons to participate in the war. In this sense, biological viruses and online viruses have extremely similar devastating threat paradigms. To summarize: First, it is based on the rapid and widespread spread of the Internet, whether it is a social network or an information network. The second is to generate a large-scale network shock wave effect. The third is the multi-domain effect of the information domain, cognitive domain, and social domain, which can create a tsunami-like nonlinear butterfly effect. Fourth, it is difficult to quickly understand the mechanism of virus attack, that is, the agnostic or post-intellectual nature of the attack mechanism. Fifth, it caused large-scale panic and even casualties, resulting in social chaos, stagnation of production and rapid decline in the national economy.
2. In-depth analysis of the US "Cyber War Doomsday Plan" and "Continuous War/Front Frontier Defense" to see clearly the offensive rather than defensiveness of the so-called "Doomsday Plan"
The US "Cyber War Doomsday Plan" report pointed out that major cyber attacks on national critical infrastructure and economic systems will cause chaos and lasting damage, which is more than the damage caused by California fires, floods in the Midwest and hurricanes in the Southeast. To prevent the above from happening, the report outlines a new cyber strategy and proposes more than 75 action recommendations. The report proposes five basic concepts: : First, cyberspace deterrence is possible; second, cyberspace deterrence depends on a flexible economy; third, cyberspace deterrence requires government reform; fourth, cyberspace deterrence requires private sector entities to strengthen security situations; fifth, election security must become the top priority. The
report proposes a new strategy called "Tiered Cyber Deterrence" aimed at reducing the possibility and impact of major cyber attacks.The report said that deterrence is the lasting strategy of the United States. The "hierarchical cyber deterrence" strategy is bold and unique. There are two main factors: is that the strategy lists denial as the top priority of deterrence, and especially enhances cyberspace defense and security through resilience and public-private cooperation; 2 is that the strategy integrates the concept of "pre-defense" to reduce the frequency and harm of non-major cyber attacks. The above-mentioned cyber attacks are not enough to trigger an overall retaliation response, including military response.
In addition, the latest article published by the US Cyberspace Commander in recent years, " The US Army Builds a "Long-lasting Operation" Cyber Warfare Force" pointed out that global political, economic and military competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and has now become the main challenge for US security and prosperity. In these competitions, the focus of 's competition for power has shifted to cyberspace, from open conflict to competition below the level of armed attacks and it is clear that the US military's cyber warfare power has evolved from "responsive force" to "persistent force", which will destroy infrastructure and other resources, and clarify that "combat forward" on a large scale in the position of the US opponent.
Commander of the US Cyberspace Command, author of the article "The US Army Builds a "Long-lasting Operation" Cyber Warfare Force",
3. Highly attach great importance to the Pearl Harbor incident in the United States, the Pearl Harbor moment in the epidemic and the vigilance of the Pearl Harbor in the Internet, and is on the verge of the US cyber war force that implements the "Cyber War Doomsday Plan"
Pearl Harbor moment seems to have become the patent for the US to be vigilant. From the Pearl Harbor incident, the Pearl Harbor moment in the epidemic and Pearl Harbor in the Internet, this awareness has been integrated into the US's "Cyber War Doomsday Plan". The most important thing is that the United States has the most powerful cyber warfare force in the world.
The 133 cyber warfare troops in the United States have been deployed in place long ago. The US Department of Defense issued a statement on October 21, 2016 saying that 133 cyber warfare units reached the "milestone" of combat capability on the same day. These troops include 13 national mission forces, 68 cyber protection forces, 27 combat forces and 25 support forces. In 2010, the "Shocknet virus" was used to paralyze more than 1,000 centrifuges in Iran's nuclear facilities; in 2017, ransomware based on the "Eternal Blue" in the US military arsenal swept over half of China; in March 2019, a major event that caused the national power grid of Venezuela to be paralyzed, causing social unrest and casualties was also called by the President of the Venezuela by the US carefully planned cyber attack; in June 2019, the US "Twitter President" Trump directly declared war on Iran's network and blatantly attacked Iran's combat command system. Cyber warfare has gone from secret war to declaration of war, from backstage to front stage, and from auxiliary war to main war.
4. As enemies of me, the new network frontier and high space frontier are accelerating the integration. We must be highly vigilant against catastrophic cyber attacks from the top to the bottom and closely track the signs of preparations after the establishment of the US Space Command
3 and the 3rd news, the US Air Force plans to conduct simulated attack tests on satellites. "The next plan we are doing is big," said U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff David Goldfin. It will cover bases from Eglin Air Force Base to Nellis Air Force Base, Yuma Proving Ground to White Sands Missile Range. The next exercise of the U.S. Air Force Advanced Operations Management System (ABMS) will focus on the following first mission: Supporting Space Command through simulated attacks on U.S. space assets.
Don’t think it’s just a traditional missile range, but also a network missile. The US Stars and Stripes disclosed that the US Space Command had just been established and immediately organized and practiced the war model that could break out in space in the future. The deduction held in early September last year united several major military commands of the US military, the US and allied intelligence agencies, focusing on the study of the "multi-domain war" initiated by "a imaginary enemy country" in 2029, that is, integrating traditional multi-field combat operations such as land warfare, naval warfare, air combat and space warfare, and cyberattack. , the imaginary enemy, actually refers to China. At present, cyberattacks can not only control satellites, but also turn the controlled satellites into weapons to carry out attacks.
5. Ban Huawei and China Telecom, launching the "National Strategy for 5G Security in the United States". The US war against us has substantially escalated
On March 26, 2020, Reuters reported that the US White House is considering a new export control measure to modify the "foreign direct product rules" and restrict chip manufacturers including TSMC to supply Huawei. If this move is implemented, it will set a bad precedent for domineering around the world. My Foreign Ministry spokesperson called it Tech bullying. At present, in terms of diplomatic debate, as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs makes good use of Twitter positions, there has been obvious progress, but in terms of operations and military warfare, Tai Chi is ultimately unable to be played, and more powerful and practical actions are needed.
In March 2020, the White House released the "U.S. 5G Security National Strategy". This strategy elaborates on the vision of 's "The United States must dominate the development, deployment and management of global 5G communication infrastructure" and proposes four strategic measures, namely: promotes the promotion of domestic 5G networks, evaluates the risks of 5G infrastructure and determines its core security principles, manages the risks posed by 5G infrastructure to the US economy and national security, and promotes the global responsible development and deployment of 5G infrastructure. This strategy seeks the United States to dominate the 5G technology, standards, market and other fields by exaggerating the 5G security threat brought by foreign opponents, in order to dominate the global 5G ecosystem.
US "Twitter President" Trump calls 5G a new track in arms, he is not only saying it, but also taking action early. American experts wrote an article pointing out that the war between the United States and China has essentially escalated. This kind of upgrade is not only a struggle between core technologies, but also a contest of social systems. Once the United States loses completely, the option of war must be guarded against.
6. Strengthen the cyber defense force, reshape the cyberspace architecture, implement the "Zhu Rihe drill" of network security, and detect and block the attack channel from "open construction of plank roads and secretly traveling to Chen Cang" by extreme pressure. In terms of force construction,
On March 1, 2017, the "International Cooperation Strategy for Cyberspace" clearly stated that the construction of cyberspace national defense force is an important part of China's national defense and military modernization construction, and follows the consistent and active defense military strategic policy. China will play an important role in safeguarding national cyberspace sovereignty, security and development interests, accelerate the construction of cyberspace forces, improve cyberspace situation awareness, cyber defense, support national cyberspace actions and participate in international cooperation, curb major cyberspace crises, ensure national cybersecurity, and maintain national security and social stability. What is said in this is very clear. The key is to take action more actively and build, train and strengthen your strength.
In terms of core technology breakthroughs, on March 26, Reuters reported that the White House is considering a new export control measure to modify the "foreign direct product rules" to restrict chip manufacturers including TSMC's supply to Huawei. It can be said that the United States has a new round of suppression of Huawei in . In this regard, Academician Ni Guangnan believes that we have a card in our hands this time. What card is it? In early April 2020, Huawei, China Unicom, China Telecom and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly proposed the adoption of a new core network technology new standard called "New IP" at a meeting of the United Nations International Telecommunications Union (ITU). This technical solution to reconstruct the Internet can completely change the current operation of the Internet.
In the network offensive and defensive ability drill, it evolves the ever-changing domain and practices the elite troops of hundreds of battles . The "Zhu Rihe" base for cyber security guided by Cheng Lin, president of the China Police Law Research Association and former president and party secretary of the People's Public Security University of China, was established in Wuhou District, Chengdu. The concept of exercising the ever-changing network domain and cultivating elite troops in hundreds of battles, and conducting scientific network security confrontation training activities has become the optimal model to deal with the continuous risks in cyberspace!
7. Network security is not only a national security issue, but also a major issue of people's livelihood. Without network security, there is no national security. We must strengthen the seven major awareness and deal with the new model of large-scale network intrusion that has not been announced. "The wind in cyberspace suddenly rises, and you can hear thunder in silence." is the awareness of network sovereignty. Network sovereignty is the primary goal of maintaining network regimes. "Technology gives birth to new space, and the Internet expands its new territory" ; the second is awareness of network development. Internet development is a solid foundation for maintaining Internet regimes. "The Internet contains new qualities and data becomes a factor of production." is network security awareness. Cybersecurity is the guarantee of the ability to maintain the cyber regime. "Turn a net and promote the overall situation, and if one mistake is wrong, it will be a thousand miles apart." The fourth is the awareness of the rule of law in the Internet. The rule of law in the Internet is the core means to maintain the Internet regime. "Open cooperation requires the rule of law, and free sharing requires equality." Fifth, online cultural awareness. Internet culture is the spiritual inheritance of maintaining the Internet regime. "The Internet crosses thousands of mountains and culture passes on generations." is the awareness of network national defense. Cyber defense is the source of strength to maintain cyber regimes. "There are thousands of soldiers on the Internet and the keyboard." 7 is the awareness of online cooperation. Network cooperation is an important way to maintain the online regime. "Fate gathers the Internet, cooperation seeks win-win results."
The United States believes it is facing a "catastrophic cyber attack" that it causes may exceed many serious fires, floods and hurricanes. So are we also facing this "disaster cyber attack"?
The new era of cyberspace, we must have the ability to prevent "Network Pearl Harbor" from cyber attack and defense!
Everyone is on the defense line of the Internet, everyone is a security guard. Take action and gather popularity, wisdom, and strength!
