Where is this all heading?
- 21 million new hosts added to the Internet each month
- Not adding 21 million new system admins
- Efficiency of compromising systems is increasing
- Techniques for post-compromise concealment improving
- DDoS tools are evolving (3rd generation in just over
1 year -- Unix and Microsoft Windows)
- Law Enforcement lobbying for stronger laws, greater powers
of search and seizure
- Software/OS vendors lobbying for no government regulation
or oversight (they know what is right for
customers, right?)
- Downward pressure on budgets (public and private)
- Heavy pressure to increase business use of the Internet
("Can you say 'wireless'? Sure. I knew you could.")
- Consumers given little choice in how Internet e-commerce
is done (use it, or don't get served)
