RE: An account of the Estonian Internet War

Hi Gadi and all the rest of a community,

I work and live in Estonia, and I was a witness to all happening here,
especially on the cyber-sphere starting the first day.

Let's skip the details on the political context of your story, which from my
point of view is far from being neutral, and pass-on to technical part of
it.

First of all, neither I, nor (well as far as I know) anybody here have seen

An account of the Estonian Internet War

About a year ago after coming back from Estonia I promised I'd send in an 
account of the Estonian "war". The postmortem analysis and recommendations 
I later wrote for the Estonian CERT are not yet public.

A few months ago I wrote an article for the Georgetown Journal of 
International Affairs, covering the story of what happened there, in 
depth. The journal owns the copyright so I had no way of sending that 
along either. I wasn't about to email saying "go buy a copy".

Mostly silly articles kept popping up with misguided to wrong information

RE: 0day: PDF pwns Windows

Such a nation might farm these private 0day exploits by employing a pool
of vulnerability researchers and exploit developers, and just not
published the results.

This is a perfectly viable way to produce what amounts to Internet
munitions. The recent incident of Estonia Under *Russian Cyber Attack*?
<http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3678606> is an example
of such a network brush war in which possession of such an arsenal would
be very useful.
