• 14/10/2010 -- Stuxnet as a Cold War Weapon and New Generation Armament (0)

it is when you know the time has come, when you feel the next minute will just carry the pain inside, then there is nothing left to be scared of and nothing to lose. That is when there is no greater power then the power of goodbye. Even though you know it will hurt you so much, and so deep, you know that it is the only way to get out from the vicious circle you are round up with. You just have to say goodbye…
That is the only way to break the spell…That is the only way to set free your soul again…That is a lesson to be learned…Freedom comes only when you learn to let go…

When the course is over you are thankful to the teacher
When the discourse is over you are grateful to the Guru 

Let us honor both, the teachers and the Guru in our life.

    * A mythical story about me
    * A demo for digital investigation and some brainstorming activities for an assassin plan

    * Generated a wide and deep multidisciplinary cyber security perspective
    * Finally, we talked about how we can prepare ourselves for future threats a little.

Actually, I was surprised by both seminars. I was planning to talk around 50 minutes however people were interested in the topic more than I could guess. So, I had to talk around 2-3 hours which I really enjoyed.

I think both seminars gave a new perspective about the future definitions of security and risk to listeners. I will write about these topics on this site later.

On the other hand, I will be in a IPTV show to talk about cyber terrorism with two lawyers soon, but before that, on the 29 April 2010, I will be in Yeditepe University, Istanbul to talk about cyber-terrorism for the Information Technologies Law Organization.

Besides that, I have a almost new job somewhere in Europe. I will also tell the details about that.

I will be in Istanbul Kultur University for a free seminar supported by OWASP. Fundamentally the topic will be about Cyber Wars, but also, will include;

• What is OWASP, OWASP Projects, seminar, society, etc.
• Internet as a new social and cultural domain
• Cyber world as a new milieu
• Why do we need a security perspective?
• First aggressions on the Internet
• Size and Shapes of threats
• Threat hierarchy of timeline
• Organized cyber crimes and cyber wars
• Cyber World and International Relations
• Terrorism and Cyber Terrorism
• How can we prepare for the future ?

Once upon a time, in a dreamland and at the dream time, there is a competition which aims to make real an utopic and unbelievelable fact. In that fact, there is a very high mountain, and volunteered brave frogs try to achieve to the top. While that action happens, unbeliever viewers get together and start to watch the competition. When the frogs start to race, scornful voices and laughters rice, also the viewers inculcate racers not to succeed.

In that duration, many frogs give up step by step. However, the frog our hero never give up and finish the race. Moreover, the  viewers asked themselves how he can be succeed surprisedly. One of the viewers goes to frog and asks that question to him, but there is no answer, because our hero frog is deaf, and also during the race he could not hear anything that makes him to be demotivated.

Sometimes, in order to achieve our aims, we need to be deaf.

Wish you hear nice things all the time…
