4. Russian analysts Yevgeniy Korotchenko and Nikolay Plotnikov conclude in 1993: We are now seeing a tendency toward a shift in the center of gravity away from traditional methods of force and the means of combat toward non-traditional methods, including information. Their impact is imperceptible and appears gradually. ... Thus today information and information technologies are becoming a real weapon. A weapon not just in a metaphoric sense but in a direct sense as well
5. Two Aspects of Parity and Defense Sufficiency (1993) Russian Admiral V.S. Pirumov "... that a war's main objective is shifting away from seizure of the opponent's territory and moving towards neutralizing his political or military-economic potential - eliminating a competitor - and ensuring the victor's supremacy in the political arena or in raw materials and sales markets.
6. General Viktor Samsonov, Chief of the Russian General Staff stated 23 Dec 96 The high effectiveness of ‘information warfare’ systems, in combination with highly accurate weapons and ‘non-military means of influence’ makes it possible to disorganize the system of state administration, hit strategically important installations and groupings of forces, and affect the mentality and moral spirit of the population. In other words, the effect of using these means is comparable with the damage resulting from the effect of weapons of mass destruction.

8. Information age technologies have created a new cyberspace environment in which to conduct warfare. Russia's response to the information age highlights the potential for challenges to the existing military balance and global security. This was brought vividly home during the 5 Day Russian Georgian War. Countries around the globe are increasingly vulnerable to information warfare as cyberspace and social networking increases, dependence expands. The gap between the emerging information age environment and the doctrine, capabilities and strategies for defending against and prosecuting information warfare are now being globally confronted.

18. Russian cyber warfare doctrine also addresses the optimum time to strike. Prior to an “information strike”, all targets should be identified (including enemy information systems), enemy access to external information should be denied, credit and monetary circulation should be disrupted, and the populace should be subjected to a massive psychological operation--including disinformation and propaganda.
19. In preparation for conflict, computer networks and databases are penetrated before the beginning of combat operations by agent and other methods Micro-organism cultures are introduced that eat away electronic components. The employment of information weapons in the concluding phase of a major regional conflict is similar to their use in peacekeeping operations.
20. Combined information and military operations are required Estimates have shown that the use of information weapons must be constantly accompanied by the limited use or threat of use of conventional weapons, especially high-precision weapons.

23. Information Warfare and Active Measures have a highly developed history in Soviet -Russian Intelligence History Today Russia is no longer constrained by communism. Government, business and criminal groups operate seamlessly. Intelligence skills have now entered the market place and are used by any number of public and private entities to achieve their ends. Cyber threats only amplify this muddled reality

37. Where was the Georgian War? This is snapshot of what part of the Internet looked like at a computational perspective near the start of the Georgia War. Yes…it is fuzzy… So is the web.
38. More or less here… The Green Square (virtually as it were) covers the Caucus . It amounts to apx 0.3% of global IT Traffic. From a commercial perspective, it is not a high priority.
39.
40. In other words this… The Green Square Now covers the Baltics . Who also amount to apx 0.3% of global IT Traffic.
41. Became this… Green Square covers failures Spilling out of the Baltics . Impacting nearly 30% of the globes IP traffic and 20% of the globes Finance. This sucked.
44. One dies, Herd survives. Lions eat the weak link (Georgia) while the bank herd goes off to graze. They are programmed this way as we sit here today.
45. Banks impact Cell Phones. Average Credit Card usage needs 36 computers to confirm or process data. Many, perhaps most, EU Cell Phones confirm account validity by piggy-backing on credit system Banks cut of Credit Card settlement systems, none of those phones linked to it function.
46. Impact on other credentials. Border credential systems overlap phone networks . IP address blocks for ISPs of attacked banks shut out. Commercial entities within those ISP blocks can not access ISP or email. ATM network will not function. Travel tickets wont function. Gas Pumps won’t function.
