Information Warfare in Use
I. Read texts. Who uses (or could use) Information Warfare
Who uses Information Warfare against who today and the military use ofIW is not officially known, at least only from public sources. There has been a wide discussion on whether IW tools were used in the Persian Gulf War and whether the CIA had overtaken a wireless network of the Iraqi Army, but these messages were fake or could not be proven. Desert Storm was mostly a war where "smart" weapons were used to destroy the enemy's headquarters.
Soft War was widely used to demoralize the enemy troops in Desert Storm. Ten of thousands of pamphlets were dropped over enemy forces, part of them in thousands of plastic cans to draw the attention of the Iraqis toward the sea.
Information Warfare, in its wider sense, is daily used between individuals and corporations. Computer system penetrations are reported daily to emergency report teams that are in charge to take countermeasures. Often, the attackers (crackers) are arguing that they do not commit a crime but improving the security of the system by pointing to its weaknesses. However, data disclosure and denial of service are a serious problem.
