I expect to learn about The Ethics of Cyber Conflict

Quote:

“The law of war provides a legal framework for determining the lawfulness of a use of force, the law of war specifies principles governing how that force may be applied during armed conflict. “Hack back” is a form of active response that uses hacking to counter a cyber attack.”

Review:

The first is cyber warfare at the state level when conducted in the interests of national security. The second area with ethical dilemmas involves nonstate actors whose cyber attacks are politically or socially motivated the third area involves the ethics of cyber defense, particularly what is called “hack back,” “strike back,” or “active response. ”The law of international conflict consists of two parts: jus ad bellum, or the law of conflict management, and jus in bello, or the law of war. The law of conflict management is primarily concerned with the application of force, particularly armed force. The impact of a cyber attack that denies access to a news Web site for 1 hour would be relatively minor compared to one that interferes with air traffic control and causes planes to crash. Severity, This refers to people killed or wounded and property damage. Immediacy , This is the time it takes for the consequences of an operation to take effect. Directness. This is the relationship between an operation and its effects .Invasiveness. This refers to whether an operation involved crossing borders into the target country. Measurability. This is the ability to measure the effects of an operation. Presumptive Legitimacy. This refers to whether an operation is considered legitimate within the international community Responsibility. This refers to the degree to which the consequence of inaction can be attributed to a state as opposed to other actors. The law of war provides a legal framework for determining the lawfulness of a use of force, the law of war specifies principles governing how that force may be applied during armed conflict. “Hack back” is a form of active response that uses hacking to counter a cyber attack.
