In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq discuss the UK’s National Cyber Force’s recently published “Responsible Cyber Power in Practice” document. The Grugq thinks he’s been plagiarised, while Tom wonders whether the NCF’s “doctrine of cognitive effects” highlights the limits of cyber operations. It’s a good document and will be influential in shaping how people discuss offensive operations (those that disrupt, degrade, destroy etc).

In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq contrast between different cyber operations that occurred in 2016. In one, US Cyber Command used cyber operations to attack ISIS’ propaganda operations. In the other, Russian cyber operators interfered with US Presidential elections. US action was tightly scoped, measurable and an underwhelming success, whereas Russian activity was nebulous and hard to measure but could have changed the course of the election.

In this podcast Patrick Gray talks to Tom Uren about the a thought bubble floated by military cyber professionals that the US armed forces needs a US Cyber Force. The justification is a bit light on and Tom doesn’t really think the proposal makes sense.

They also discuss US Cyber Command’s “Hunt Forward” operations. In these operations partner countries invite CYBERCOM in to hunt for adversary activity. Access to networks is touchy stuff, though, so CYBERCOM spends a lot of time and effort in diplomatic efforts convincing potential partner agencies. We think these types of activities are great but in some parts of the world — think Asia — a warmer and fuzzier branding might be the go.
