Differences in Chinese and Russian security philosophies and how the United States should counter
I enjoy hacking. The intrigue, digging through arcane protocol specs in order to discover some new architectural design flaw or idiotic programmer bug, and the excitement surrounding a mysterious hidden world that few are capable of experiencing, in my mind is akin to losing yourself deep in a software coding problem. I consider myself a white-hat, maybe gray-hat (depending upon my mood) hacker. I’m not a bad guy intent on breaking into an unsuspecting company’s network to wreak havoc or steal corporate secrets but rather, am seeking the challenge of the hack and the experience I glean from the attempt - in addition to stopping the attacks China and Russian hackers have directed at my servers. And yeah, I think the government's philosophy regarding cybersecurity-countermeasures should, and will, change to promote a more offensive response to targeted attacks against American servers.
