  • Paper: Wardialing Brief
    Wardialing Brief Kingpin @Stake, Inc. 196 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. http://www.atstake.com E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Wardialing consists of using a computer to dial a given set of telephone numbers with a modem. Each phone number that answers with modem handshake tones and is successfully connected to is stored in a log. By searching a range of phone numbers for computers, one can find entry points into unprotected systems and backdoors into seemingly secure systems. This brief introduces the wardialing concept, examines concerns with today's network setups, and lists free and commercial software products, whitepapers, news reports, and Internet resources. Keywords: wardialing, telephony, security, modem 1 Introduction to Wardialing Wardialing, or scanning, has been a common activity in the computer underground and computer serucity industry for decades. Hollywood made wardialing popular with the 1983 movie, WarGames, in which a teenager searching for a videogame company ultimately uncovers a government nuclear war warning system [1]. Seventeen years after the mainstream was made aware of wardialing activity, the problem of unprotected dial-up systems still exists in the majority of corporations. The act of wardialing is extremely simple – a host computer dials a given range of telephone numbers using a modem. Every telephone number that answers with a modem and successfully connects to the host is stored in a log. At the conclusion of the scan, the log is reviewed and the phone numbers are individually dialed with a computer. The user then attempts to identify the systems, and, depending on the goals of the wardial, attempts system access.

  • Wargames Ovvero: Come Applicare La Logica Del Paradosso E Vincere Una Guerra Impossibile
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Research Information System University of Turin WarGames Ovvero: come applicare la logica del paradosso e vincere una guerra impossibile “WarGames” è un film del 1983, noto in italiano anche con il sottotitolo di “Giochi di guerra”. Al di là della scarsa fantasia mostrata nella traduzione, non si può certo negare che tanto i “giochi” quanto la “guerra” siano i due elementi centrali attorno ai quali ruota l‟intera vicenda narrata nella pellicola. Il film, nonostante la sua scorrevolezza, è generalmente corretto nel presentare elementi di carattere tecnico e militare – se si eccettua qualche piccolo errore1 – e fornisce validi spunti degni di approfondimento. L‟intento di questo breve saggio consiste nell‟evidenziare alcuni aspetti che si pongono in relazione diretta con la realtà strategica della Guerra fredda, vista soprattutto dal lato statunitense. A questo verranno aggiunte anche alcune osservazioni su caratteristiche emergenti, che solo oggi hanno acquisito il vigore e la visibilità che negli anni ‟80 erano ancora in massima parte ipotetici, ma relativamente alle quali la pellicola fornisce già qualche intuizione. Ma al di là e – oserei dire – al di sopra di tutto questo, l‟elemento probabilmente più interessante consiste nella logica del paradosso che permea il film, e che di per se stessa costituisce il tassello fondante del confronto nucleare dell‟epoca bipolare. Il paradosso è stato presentato, in via più generale, come una caratteristica chiave sottesa ad una corretta concezione strategica2, e tale enfasi diviene ancora più evidente in un contesto quale quello atomico. Un ottimo pregio di “WarGames” è il cogliere questo spirito, e proprio in omaggio a tale virtù, non sottrarremo l‟applicazione della medesima logica al film stesso, ottenendone così spesso un ribaltamento di prospettiva che forse può essere utile per fare un po‟ di luce nel contesto strategico-militare di quel periodo.

  • History of Wargames
    History of Wargames: Toward a History Based Doctrine for Wargaming as of 6 Jan 2000 By Matthew Caffrey Send comments to [email protected] - A Congressman with a national reputation as a defense expert opposes the President's plan for military action because of the casualty levels predicted by war games. - One weapons program is canceled and another accelerated, both largely due to the results of war games. - An air component commander convinces an area CinC to change the deployment plan of a major regional plan due to problems anticipated through a war game. Our expectations of the future shape that future. Those who concern themselves with the future of warfare develop their expectations in many ways, from the study of history to the building of complex mathematical models, to the integration of both these approaches using the medium of wargaming. Without question war games shape those expectations, hence they help shape the future. Ever more powerful computers appear to promise ever better war games. Yet is the Emperor really wearing clothes? Or to use a more contemporary expression, isn't the validity of "garbage in garbage out" independent of computing power? Will war games lead or mislead us in the future? As several historians have observed, "I know of no guide to the future but the past." For almost 200 years modern war games have been providing life saving insights and fatal mirages. If these different outcomes were random there would little use in studying that history. However, as the Caffrey Cycle illustrates, history provides the raw material for anticipating cause and effect.

  • Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
    Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Chapter 1 Everyone my age remembers where they were and what they were doing when they first heard about the contest. I was sitting in my hideout watching cartoons when the news bulletin broke in on my video feed, announcing that James Halliday had died during the night. I’d heard of Halliday, of course. Everyone had. He was the videogame designer responsible for creating the OASIS, a massively multiplayer online game that had gradually evolved into the globally networked virtual reality most of humanity now used on a daily basis. The unprecedented success of the OASIS had made Halliday one of the wealthiest people in the world. At first, I couldn’t understand why the media was making such a big deal of the billionaire’s death. After all, the people of Planet Earth had other concerns. The ongoing energy crisis. Catastrophic climate change. Widespread famine, poverty, and disease. Half a dozen wars. You know: “dogs and cats living together … mass hysteria!” Normally, the newsfeeds didn’t interrupt everyone’s interactive sitcoms and soap operas unless something really major had happened. Like the outbreak of some new killer virus, or another major city vanishing in a mushroom cloud. Big stuff like that. As famous as he was, Halliday’s death should have warranted only a brief segment on the evening news, so the unwashed masses could shake their heads in envy when the newscasters announced the obscenely large amount of money that would be doled out to the rich man’s heirs. 2 But that was the rub.

  • The Art of Computer Game Design the Art of Computer Game Design by Chris Crawford
    The Art of Computer Game Design The Art of Computer Game Design by Chris Crawford Preface to the Electronic Version: This text was originally composed by computer game designer Chris Crawford in 1982. When searching for literature on the nature of gaming and its relationship to narrative in 1997, Prof. Sue Peabody learned of The Art of Computer Game Design, which was then long out of print. Prof. Peabody requested Mr. Crawford's permission to publish an electronic version of the text on the World Wide Web so that it would be available to her students and to others interested in game design. Washington State University Vancouver generously made resources available to hire graphic artist Donna Loper to produce this electronic version. WSUV currently houses and maintains the site.

  • Cyber Wargaming: Finding, Designing, and Playing Wargames for Cyber Security Education
    Cyber Wargaming: Finding, Designing, and Playing Wargames for Cyber Security Education Andreas Haggman Submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Security Supervised by Professor Keith Martin Professor Klaus Dodds February 2019 1 Declaration of authorship I, Andreas Haggman, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates, and contributes to, the use of wargaming in cyber security education. Wargaming has a rich history of pedagogic use, but little work exists that addresses the critically important subject of cyber security. Cyber security is a global problem that frequently makes news headlines, yet the field is dogged with a reputation as a domain only for technologists, when in fact cyber security requires a whole gamut of approaches to be properly understood. The thesis is broadly divided into three parts. The first part is a comprehensive literature review of wargaming scholarship, analysing the benefits and drawbacks of wargaming, and some of the justifications for why a tabletop boardgame may be more effective than a game enhanced by technology. Following on from this, the thesis provides an outline of current work in cyber wargaming by analysing existing games, evaluating their contributions as educational tools, and identifying successful game mechanics and components. The second part of the thesis outlines the design process of an original wargame created for cyber security education and awareness training. The analysis outlines what the game design intends to achieve in terms of pedagogical outcomes and how the design evolved through the development process.

  • Wargames (1983)
    Wargames (1983) David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) is an intelligent, underachieving teen who spends most of his free time playing arcade video games or messing around on his computer. During an automated modem search, he finds a strange computer that appears to be affiliated with a game company. A list of games appears, but Lightman doesn't have the password. After doing extensive research, he correctly guesses it. As would-be girlfriend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy) watches, he begins playing "Global Thermonuclear War" and targets his hometown (Seattle) and Las Vegas for Soviet strikes. Unknown to the teens, the computer behind "Global Thermonuclear War" is not a game software company -- it is the War Operations Plan Response (W.O.P.R.) -- a top-secret military system that helps the Air Force decide what to do in the event of a Soviet attack. On their situation screens deep below Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, the military actually thinks a first- strike is occurring. Top programmer Dr. McKittrick (Dabney Coleman) figures out what has happened, but it seemed all too real for a few minutes. The government soon finds out who broke into their system, and Lightman is arrested and taken to Cheyenne Mountain for debriefing. It is assumed that he is affiliated with the Soviet KGB! He realizes that the W.O.P.R. is still "playing" Global Thermonuclear War, and needs to be stopped. The computer is feeding false data to the Americans, trying to get them to "move." General Beringer (Barry Corbin), a hawkish sort, is putting US forces on increasingly higher levels of Alert (known as Defense Conditions, or DefCon).

Over time, veteran policy hands in the exec- utive and legislative branches, as well as academia, thinks tanks and the media, come to believe that they understand all the important dimensions of security. And yet, for most, one dimension – space – presents a signi"cant gap in their understanding. Space’s importance is major, growing and underappreciated inside the Washington Beltway. Over a half century ago, the US-Soviet space race captured the imagination of the American people, and the manned space program from the 1960s onward bred na- tional competence in the design, manufacture and launch of rockets, satellites and payloads with ever-greater capabilities.
