Cyber Shockwave Game

Cyber Shockwave; Simulation

on CNN, Great program/show.

Well done, realistic.

But they don't have an hour to 

decide what to tell the President,

In an hour everything could be down.

No emergency broadcasting station,

no cable, no cell or land line phones.

In an hour there maybe no way for him

to talk to the public other than shortwave

and CB radio.

The Government switched all TV to

digital, including the Emergency

Broadcasting System. If the net

goes so does EBS.

I think any act of war would

enable the 'war powers act'.

Whether its domestic or State

act.

Focus on act rather than motive.

Maybe even have a Internet

Holiday, where for one day

the Internet goes down?

Gov.turns it off.

See what goes down, and if

the Government can even 

communicate.

Maybe for 5 min.

As a test.???

Even that might prove

disastrous.

Can we live 5 min.without

the Internet?

Military?

Will it restart?

How long to bring it all

back up?

This could be a WMD.

And you don't take an hour

in a WMD attack to decide

what to tell the President,

or WHAT TO DO.

If nukes were launched

at the USA would they

take an hour to talk about

it?

Reactions should be

equal, almost instant

in any WMD attack.

Again USA waits for 

the actual Cyber Pearl Harbor 

attack to do the planning?

The show seemed to show 

the lack of planning,

or action programs when it

does come. and its when,

not if.

They didn't know what to

do. And seemed uncertain about

where to start.

Bipartisanship not certain.

If all the power stations went down,

how long would it take to bring

them back up and hook back

in?

How would any of this happen

if all communications are down.

Can the Military set up a Nation 

wide communications net?

Without using the WWW?

How long would that take?

If electronic funds transfer is

turned off how will business make

payments?

Business will grind to a halt.

In reality about half way through

the show everything would have 

gone dead. And you might be

setting in a home without

any power or communication,

no cable, candles and flashlights,

no heat. All food cold.

Have to have a wood or charcoal

fire for coffee.

Run on gas stations, food stores

and banks.

They had some expectation the

attack would be over in 3 days?
And I question their ability to track
the attackers, they haven't had
much luck with Cornfliker,
and they have been at that for
a year?
And the best minds they have?

There are methods to turn off bot attacks

en-mass.

And I think I've seen paradigm Intel

it is in place.

But the other planning should still be

done on a contingency basis.

On the other hand USA has the top

Black hats in the world and their

automated.

Can I play?

My Cyber attack on USA.
