iSD in the Tech Age!



Net-self-defense, we spend an exorbitant amount of time on our physical defense training and then we forget that our lives are in just as much danger of "Grave Financial Harm" or Financial ruin (Death) as if we are attacked by a street predator. Research and studies show, from the security experts in this field, that Anti-virus and Firewall suites only catch about 5% of the threats out there and those same folks tell us that it is in all probability worse at the Enterprise levels.


My goal here is to educate myself, and by proxy, pass on what I learn to others so that each individual who is connected at any level can take steps to achieve some semblance of security in their electronic on-line lives. We are so deeply imbedded in modern technology that to not take appropriate actions to learn iSD or internet self-defense in the technological age is just foolishness.


My goal is to provide enough of a foundation that readers, like me, can take the appropriate actions, i.e., apply those fundamental principles of technological methodologies to safeguard one of the more important, actually critical, strategies and tactics to defend ourselves from grave economical harm or even economical/financial death or ruin from nefarious predatory hacking processes.


Nothing in this blog is definitive, it is meant to set a foundation of knowledge, understanding and awareness so that you are not one day blindsided by some effort to steal your very life out from underneath you so fast you feel like you have been hit behind the ear and knocked into a daze of confusion, fear and finally anger where your tech-life falls apart and ruins your real life utterly, completely and with no light in sight down that dark, empty and black hole.

WWIII - eWars

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

I was quite surprised when studying Boyd’s modern art of war, his discourse on winning and losing, that even in his time long before data mining and data brokers took such dominance in our electronic world he developed the art of war to cover the Internet Electronic Frontier. The only issue I was able to detect, limited and inexperienced view, was his tendency to couple such electronic wars to the more conventional maneuver type of warfare. In my humble opinion, the future eWars well be totally and completely electronic while repercussions will be felt in the physical world.

In my humble opinion we are already at war with the dark-web, i.e., the more nefarious efforts of those who would remove us from our hard earned income through spam, phishing and other electronic predatory efforts. They are already crossing over from pure electronic warfare to one that hits in the physical world as well.

Yet, that ain’t all folks because the efforts of those who would and desire to free us from the bonds of our physical economic and governmental trappings would create an electronic world that is just as susceptible to the faults of man and human greed. In lieu of those who have control of the economic world trough the trappings of wall street would become the eWall Street thieves, those who control the code. 

Things like bitcoin and other such efforts while commendable and seemingly beneficial even spread throughout the code by dispersed coopted coding efforts still puts that power in the few in lieu of the many because not everyone can be coders or experts in such electronic worlds. The masses will still be subjected to and controlled by the whims of the governing eBody of the internet, the one we see and use and the dark web seen and used by others. 

As we continue to be connected and become totally dependent on those electronic worlds the old world may disappear and lose its control on humans but only to the effect that the power structure will shift and barely change. It will be the code and the coders who will now rule and dictate and you can bet your bottom bitcoin those powers will be used in pretty much the same way the old power structure use their power base to control and profit, etc.

If I had to bet against a military electronic driven fense in eWars vs. the Coders my bet would be on the coders because the most talented of the talented are the very people leading the change in the dark world of coding, that secret society that is there and slowly taking over the Internet Foundation Economy that is growing by leaps and bounds under the false belief that when said and done will allow the masses control and removing the yoke of governments. 

Boyd does have a great plan and modern art of war called the discourse but to truly win this one you have to change human needs and human flaws that seem to take us back again and again into the same old yoke but with a different collar to disguise the same obstacle and flaws that nature and evolution may never be able to shake and change. It is our nature and it is how it will be yet with different leaders, same of sheep following and with seemingly different yet the same old human crap that has haunted societies for centuries, since the dawn of man.
