Weaponized Attack: A Case Study

“Attack the Block” is a British film consisting of many genres including science fiction, horror, action and comedy, written and directed by Joe Cornish. Released in 2011, the film revolves around a major theme, demonstrating that all actions have consequences, but it also mentions a bit of redemption, as the characters must save themselves from evil creatures, as well as save London. The film also has plenty of commentary about perceptions and attitudes towards class and the police in England. We see how the police leap to conclusions and unerringly arrest the wrong people for the wrong reasons. “Attack the Block” highlights the disenfranchised immigrant youth in England surviving according to the rules and laws of their “Block”. They are already profiled as criminals due to how they look and where they live. They have to follow the rules of their environment in order to live their lives normally or even to survive day to day.

In any choice that we as humans make, there is always going to be a consequence that comes with that decision; whether it be positive or negative. Making decisions is an ordinary part of our everyday lives, some of those decisions may be bigger than others. The short story I decided to display that contains the idea of choice and consequence is The Second Bakery Attack by Haruki Murakami. Looking at the symbolism and techniques of language in this short story through the reader’s-response theory, I was able to interpret the story from my point of view and give my thoughts and opinions on it as I read it. While reading the story, I was able to identify a recurring theme of choice. Choice plays a huge role throughout this short story.

Being prepared and having a plan in place, with detailed plans and procedures are useful before, during and after a disaster. Waiting until the last minute can be disastrous (Hayhurst, 2013). There is always the potential that a disaster may occur at any time and at any place. Therefore, being prepared is important to a planned and coordinated response to disastrous events. Healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics have specific plans in place to address possible disasters. One disaster plan addressed at the Veteran Health Administration (VHA) in the New Orleans, Louisiana location is bomb threats.

In 1940, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order (EO) 8381. This was the first Presidential Order designed to protect sensitive information in the name of “national defense.”

THREAT PROFILING: Threat or Threat profiling is a method of proactively identifying threats based on human behavior. The key word is proactively. In Left of Bang, Patrick Van Horne and Jason A. Riley discuss this method and explains how to identify threat by using six domains; Kinesics, Biometric Cues, Proxemics, Geographics, Iconography, and Atmospherics (Van Horne, Riley 67).

In this article various pints were made on the concepts that the evolution of society and technology can affect the acts of crime, terror and warfare. Asymmetrical warfare has become a larger course taken that brings Transnational Criminal Organizations as well as Terror groups and PMCs on the level of Nation-States. The research question can be surmised as what is the distinction between crime, terrorism and warfare in the new changing dynamic and environment? The thesis is, the changes in society along with the additional evolution of technology, there is a conflict between traditional forms of conflict and criminal organizations as well as terror groups. These changes can make smallest threat a similar threat as a military from a Nation-State.

Terrorism, within modern society, has become a common strategy employed by various radical groups throughout the world. The utilization of terroristic tactics originated in Russia during the 19th century as a response to an autocratic Russian system that was believed to be well overdue for refinement. During this time, terrorism remained within its place of origin and was a carefully directed phenomenon. Thus, most acts of terror were aimed at specified targets who were chosen systematically, ensuring the message being conveyed was clear and no harm occurred to civilians. With the progression of society, terrorism has evolved into a more horrific strategy. Evolving from a once directed phenomenon to an increasingly unsystematic style of attack, that can occur anywhere at anytime. This change has caused many to believe that terrorism itself is a mindless act that serves no purpose other than to instill fear within society. This assumption is partially correct, but contrary to popular belief the use of terrorism by radical groups does serve a purpose. By instilling fear within society through violent acts, terrorists attempt to usher change. This is because “Terrorism is based on the idea that the kind of change desired can be achieved only with violence” . With this belief, many radical organizations choose to utilize terrorism as a tool to cause change, as they believe it is the only way to bring about change. Another effect of this belief is radical groups are

A majority of America’s leaders and military officials are expressing fears of what they view to be an emerging threat to national security, the hybrid threat. The common definition found regarding hybrid threat is “the diverse and dynamic combination of regular forces, irregular forces, and/or criminal elements all unified to achieve mutually benefitting effects.” But, how truly new is this warfare and threat? Haven’t “partnerships” amongst different fractions/groups been ongoing since the development of civilized communities? And, hasn’t America been viewed by our fellow nations as a hybrid threat conducting hybrid warfare for several decades? In the following paragraphs an operation involving the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in combination

Since they got this file, we got OVH on September 27, my server in DYN deleted on October 19, DYN fully attacked on October 21 and Belgium attacked on October 23. On November 1st, I got this huge personal attack on the mobile (low level very skilled attack) of my partner (the girl I live with in Philippines) simultaneously with attacks on my server and they let a signature on the mobile. This mobile was transformed by hackers in spying system (location, listening, camera and messaging...) This signature makes a very double strong link with my brother. A picture, a Minion, which is also the picture of my brother, that he choose some days after the attack in Paris with a Pseudonym “Lovi min”, min for “Minion”, which is almost his first name. I understood later that Minion is the surname of hacked IoT, that I get right now and used in the OVH and DYN attacks and Minion is also a PS4 game, just released before the Paris attack,

The drawback of Estonia's information technology framework was that its defensive protocol was not much secure and could be easily hacked. Moreover, the country was much depended on internet.

The branches of the military, for a couple generations, have always been the Army, Navy, Air force, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard; however, in an ever evolving digital world, the notion that outer space would be the next military front is being rapidly replaced by the idea that cyber space will be the next arms race. The United States has been defending attacks on their infrastructure day after day, night after night, when one hacker on one side of the world sleeps, another takes their place to attempt to compromise the US government. The motives may range from a political ‘hacktivist’ trying to prove a point, to an economic spy, trying to gain a competitive edge on its more upstart rivals, to an attempt to control the United States

There are several different forms of cyber weapons, all of which can be used for either an attack or espionage. There are principally five common practices. The first of three attacks that will be examined is spoofing.
