Full title :Surviving cyberwar / Richard Stiennon.

Summary

He also examines the cyber threats and where they come from, explains how defensive technologies can be used to counter cyber attacks and to secure American infrastructure, considers the major recent cyber attacks that have taken place around the world, discusses the implications of such attacks, and offers solutions to the vulnerabilities that made these attacks possible. The book begins with Shawn Carpenter and his discovery that China had hacked into his work place, Sandia Labs. It follows the rise of cyber espionage on the part of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) as increasingly sophisticated and overt attacks are carried out against government and military networks around the world. It moves from cyber espionage to cyberwar itself, revealing the rise of distributed denial of service (DDoS) as a means of attacking servers, websites, and countries.
