Cyber Dawn: Libya
Feb6
This is a little-old report, but thought it is worth sharing nonetheless.
Project Cyber Dawn: Libya collates, analyzes and reports on raw data and its interconnections that have
been harvested from the public domain. Recent events are correlated with known historical data to
provide an in depth view into Libyan Cyber Warfare capabilities and defenses.
In light of recent NATO actions to protect Libyan civilians, the primary media focus has been placed on
the elimination of Libyan military equipment that has been, or could be used to suppress and oppress,
through the use of lethal force, the civilian population. In this information age, this report provides a
detailed look at the information technology status of Libya.
Through this analysis, CSFI can help the international community to understand not only Libya‘s potential
to influence the balance of cyberspace, but also the physical repercussions of cyber-attacks originating
from, and directed towards Libya. In light of the recent STUXNET virus attack on Siemens produced
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, particular focus is given in later chapters to
Libya‘s vulnerabilities to this genre of attack and the risks associated with this.
