Video: Defcon 2005 - Asymmetric Digital Warfare - Fabio Ghioni and Roberto Preatoni
Started in 1992 by the Dark Tangent, DEFCON is the world's longest running and largest underground hacking conference. Hackers, corporate IT professionals, and three letter government agencies all converge on Las Vegas every summer to absorb cutting edge hacking research from the most brilliant minds in the world and test their skills in contests of hacking might.
The goal of the speech is to make the attendees understand where and how the digital conflicts are conducted nowadays, but we will dig deeply into the future. We will take as example the US Army program F.C.S. (Future Combat System) as the perfect example on how a developed superpower might carry on a super-advanced war program, all based on combat computer systems and networks that control unmanned vehicles as well as wheeled combat drones, to discover at the end that the adoption of such systems might introduce conceptual vulnerabilities that a wise enemy might exploit by means of hacking.
