#Competitive Intelligence report on Cyberwarfare with respect to Pakistan

Cyberwarfare which is known-ed to be the actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation’s computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption. Cyber  warfare  is a  relatively  new  concept  whereby  politically  motivated  hackers  and Computer  scientists  develop  means  of  causing  disruption  or  damage  to  a  government’s  IT  system  and  network  infrastructure. There  are  various  techniques  that  fall  under cyber-warfare  such  as a  virus  or  malicious  software  (most  recent  examples  would  be  stuxnet  and  Duqu)  or  web  vandalism.    The  constant  developments  in  the  IT  world  inevitably  lead to  an  increasing  occurrence  of  cyber  warfare.    This raises  the  question  as  to  whether  it  is  more  dangerous  as  opposed  to  traditional  warfare.

IPv6

IPv6, which is supported in some of the latest OSes and network devices, is all about end-to-end, or peer-to-peer communications. Aside from offering more address space than its IPv4 predecessor -- which has made it immediately popular in some parts of the world -- it offers a redesigned IP packet format that simplifies route processing, making it ideal for applications such as voice over IP or instant messaging. But IPv6 presents a whole range of new security problems, experts say. French researchers recently found problems in the IPv6 protocol specification itself, namely in the routing header. Bottom line: The specification lets the sender add an arbitrary number of extra headers on IPv6 packets, and the IPv6-based routers or hosts must process these headers. It's a denial-of-service attacker's dream come true. Speaking at last month's CanSecWest conference, researchers Philippe Biondi and Arnaud Ebalard disclosed details of problems they found in IPv6

End-to-end security & Virtualization

End-to-end security & Virtualization The following list describes new and enhanced security features in Windows 8: Trusted boot: Some malware programs target the boot process and insert themselves into the system before Windows or antimalware software is able to start. Because of this, the ability of Windows or the antimalware software to protect the system might be compromised. With UEFI 2.3.1 equipped devices, the UEFI Secure Boot feature helps to ensure that malware is not able to start before Windows 8. The Windows 8 Trusted boot feature protects the integrity of the remainder of the boot process, including the kernel, system files, boot critical drivers, and even the antimalware software itself. The system’s antimalware software is the first third party application or driver to start. Moving antimalware into the Trusted boot process prevents it from being tampered with. In the event that malware is able to successfully tamper with the boot process, Windows ca
