When the Stuxnet computer worm damaged the Iranian nuclear program in 2010, the public got a small glimpse into modern cyber warfare—without truly realizing the scope of this global conflict. Inside Cyber Warfare provides fascinating and disturbing details on how nations, groups, and individuals throughout the world increasingly rely on Internet attacks to gain military, political, and economic advantages over their adversaries.

This updated second edition takes a detailed look at the complex domain of cyberspace, and the players and strategies involved. You’ll discover how sophisticated hackers working on behalf of states or organized crime patiently play a high-stakes game that could target anyone, regardless of affiliation or nationality.

Learn the role of social networks in fomenting revolution in the Middle East and Northern Africa
Explore the rise of anarchist groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec
Look inside cyber warfare capabilities of nations including China and Israel
Understand how the U.S. can legally engage in covert cyber operations
Learn how the Intellectual Property war has become the primary focus of state-sponsored cyber operations

Good one

ByJeff O'Byrneon January 25, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Carr works in open source intelligence. That means no security clearance but 'merely' reads the available stuff on the Internet and draws conclusions. Given the nature of the Internet this is a valuable way to operate. The growing commercialization of cybercrime and the interaction with national governments, especially the Russian is well discussed. Have selected this for an undergraduate course in Information Warfare. It will provide bounteous references for further study and the research that I require.

Good Read

ByJoshua a. Smithon August 19, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Pretty good read. I bought this after my info. security class to read up on some of the things I learned. It's very informative, but some more suggestions about the things we could do to help combat security issues would be nice....but I guess that's what the info. security class is for.

Very informative read - Especially from an international law perspective

ByDaren K. Presbiteroon January 12, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Before reading this book I had very little knowledge of each of the attacks mentioned in the book, and even less knowledge regarding what long way we still have to go in establishing those laws for cyberspace war liek we have done for conventional warfare. A real eye opener since I am more on the technical side of things in the security realm. Real world issues are presented in an easy to read manner and pave the way for you to have a better behind-the-scenes understanding when, for instance, you see in the news that the pentagon has allowed us to respond to a cyber attack with traditional force. An ah-hah moment indeed.

An ambitious snapshot of the current state of Cyber Warfare.

ByTeresa Merklinon January 8, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In this updated edition of Inside Cyber Warfare, Jeffrey Carr does an excellent job of outlining the current landscape of illicit activity in cyberspace. The complex relationships between cyber crime, cyber espionage, and aggressive cyber attacks are defined and delineated. The book is rife with well documented case studies for the concepts described and is an extremely useful reference book for anyone who is skeptical of the gravity of the current state of cyber space or anyone who needs a quick refresher on the historical case studies presented.

The book does an excellent job of laying out the complicated legal environment involved with the potential commission, identification, and active response to nefarious activity in the cyber domain. It also does an excellent job describing how attribution and identification of the source of attacks is a virtual impossibility in this environment and calls out specific public officials for attributing attacks to nation states on what is publicly known to be shaky evidence. The book also does an excellent job describing the murky difference between a state sponsored and non-state sponsored actors.

Through his involvement with project Grey Goose, the author is uniquely qualified to write this book, but the coverage on Grey Goose in particular was disappointing as those sections are a little disjointed and the hoped for compelling and engaging narrative on that topic never emerged. Overall the entire effort reads a little choppy, and while experts within this domain will have no issues fighting through it, people new to the subject might find it a little hard to follow in spots. While that is enough for me to knock my rating down from 5 stars to 4, I still enthusiastically recommend the text to anyone working in the information security field.

Easy read

ByDan Bon March 26, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a very informative and easy-to-read book. It clearly shows the new "battle front" as being cyberspace and highlights the urgency, and importance of why effective cyber security should be at the forefront of today's security industry.

Good depth and lots of detail

Good depth and lots of detail, but somewhat inconsistently written. Goes from big picture to technical details and back in the same section...sometime hard to follow.

If you were not scared or concerned you should be. This is a must read. We have people who intend to harm us and they are harming us.
