Re: The CIA mentions us

​OK just so people know. I am working on this with a well known co-author
and we have a totally serious purpose behind the humorous aspects.

One point is that this is material people developing apps should be reading
so as to develop counter-counter measures.

The bigger point is that these documents and the weaponized attacks should
have been protected by end-to-end encryption throughout their lifecycle,
including on the Web server. We are currently at a conference on building
international norms for cyber and would like to establish 'lock up your
weapons' as a norm.

Besides being a norm that benefits the community, it is a norm that would
benefit every one of the 117 national cyber commands that currently exist.

I suspect we may run into IPR problems. The CIA author did not read

Well... one would still need to assess whether such work is official or
not. :-)  At times, intelligence agency's work is not official --
actually, officially, such work didn't happen. :-)

Yeah, leaked classified materials don't need a copyright for protection.
One can go to jail with out ever getting a chance to discuss copyright
status.
