. >> stuxnet attribution and the gentleman in the back. >> good afternoon. i'm a private citizen.ding civilians on the battlefield. specifically anticipatory self-defense in cyberspace. let us suppose that i knew there was a civilian hacker who is going to unleash a cyberweapon of mass destruction at some point in the future and have incontrovertible evidence of that is going to occur. does the manuals. >> to that at all and if not what are your thoughts on that? >> thank you so much. why don't i start with jason and we will work our way down. >> great, thank you. let me look at this as history because we were all told that oh attribution is an issue in neshaminy can never figure out where it's coming from. again that is more chew the more you are looking at the tactical and technical level and this would be my response. also on the issue that just got brought up about not knowing their intent. the finer you look the more difficult is to know where the attack came from and what they are actually willing to try. when you look at campaigns and conflict, when you pull yourself up as

secondly, we've answered the stuxnet question. the manual doesn't find that israel and the united states conducted an unlawful attack against iran, blah, blah, blah, that's all nonsense. i don't know where that came from. and the third is the attacking hackers question. i just want to emphasize that we never said that you can attack hackers. what we said is that exactly as gary said, if you have an armed conflict and someone chooses to participate in the conflict in a significant way that affects your military capability, then from longstanding humanitarian law, that person loses the protection that they're entitled to and becomes a target. that has nothing to do with hackers during peacetime, and it has nothing to do with a hacker during an armed conflict that is defacing a web site. nothing. but, ellen, i wanted to address your question because you and i have talked about this before. i believe as a lawyer that i could probably come up with a legal justification for making the argument that a particular state could have acted in

information for example we know it's really israeli officials and american officials months ago used the stuxnet virus and were to go go after iran alleged nuclear program and it might seem to some that the way governments use it is a lot more dangerous than perhaps this group known as anonymous. well. the balance now in the twenty first century. is that this side of balance is that the private use of the internet even groups. and hackers kin create many people asian and create damage to come through is you don't need to be a superpower sub a superpower to affect damage all over the country and its institution. and months ago a year ago pardon. did manage to penetrate a. few websites really websites and to leak information about israelis and their credit cards but. what i think about i think when you bring in the issue all the private citizen and their credit card information all the bank information you know that certainly is dangerous but no haps not as dangerous as certain governments on the ground around the world that are not only worried about for example the pentagon was hacked recently b

stuxnet?bout >> i will not comment on that, but it's a game where high national statistics are at play and both sides are using all the leverage of power they have to achieve their interests. >> the first question about negotiation and military action, one of the concerns has been expressed in the west is that iran engage in negotiations. as they do, they get closer to the capability where they could very quickly deploy nuclear ability. is there some sort of thing you would want to see coming out of these negotiations this weekend that might be a signal that there is at a decision on the part of tehran to actually try to find a solution? what would be your minimum take away from the discussions that would say maybe there's an indication iran does want to sign this -- find a solution? but it's a mistake to try to set the bar. if they agree to another round of meetings, that will be the process continuing. but i think that it's not realistic to expect that there would be some kind of breakthroug
