IWar

IWar

iWar, is the term used by NATO to describe a form of Internet-based warfare. [ [http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2007/issue4/english/analysis2.html NATO: “iWar”: A new threat, its convenience – and our increasing vulnerability] ]

iWar comparisons

iWar is distinct from what the United States calls cyber war or from what China calls informationalized war. These refer to sensitive military and critical infrastructure assets, and to battlefield communications and satellite intelligence. Rather, iWar refers to attacks carried out over the Internet that target the consumer Internet infrastructure, such as the websites providing access to online services.

iWar attack

iWar is conducted by a denial-of-service attack, which bombards a high volume of information requests to overwhelm a computer or networking system on the Internet.

iWar in the future

The two trends of increasing vulnerability over the Internet and ease of attack make conflagration of iWar probable.
