Meeting the Number One Chinese Hacker…and Americans making progress in Taipei @ HITCON 2013

Posted on by

Good day Folks from HITCON 2013!

An interesting international INFOSEC day indeed! Alliteration aside – today was phenomenal @ HITCON 2013!

For yours truly today’s HITCON 2013 marked the pinnacle of success for the Red Dragon – meeting the Number 1 Hacker from the People’s Republic of China! The gentlemen was very forthright and reminded me in so many ways of the China I knew of in 1983 – earnest, open, honest and willing to share with foreigners – this my friends was the Red Dragon coming face to face with the ‘mysterious’ China Hacking boogeyman – quite frankly, there isn’t one!

What marked today’s events even more inedibly in mind was another group of Chinese Hackers who had purchased multiple copies of my book “21st Century Chinese Cyber Warfare” in order to study and reference the concept of Middle Kingdom Information Warfare Doctrine development in their home country!!!

Wow. If Chinese Hackers are buying a foreigners book, then the Red Dragon has accomplished his mission. Roger out.

The icing on the cake for today was when finished with the Keynote speech I called China’s number 1 Hacker up front on stage and presented him with an autographed copy of the Chinese Hackers new manual…sadly, this fellow wasn’t on the original distribution list with the initial purchase. Yet as he thumbed carefully through the copy in his hands, it was meant to be that he should have a copy of “21st Century Chinese Cyber Warfare” as a gift.

I wonder if all the military & political might focused so negatively on the Middle Kingdom could ever achieve such progress as we experienced today in Taipei @ HITCON 2013…

US & People’s Republic of China FINALLY Make Cyber Security a Strategic Issue…

Good Day Folks;

US & People’s Republic of China FINALLY Make Cyber Security a Strategic Issue…FBI are you paying attention?
Many differing reporting styles from around the World regarding the US & the People’s Republic of China discussing cyber security as a strategic national/international matter…NOT one for Law Enforcement…Only now all the Chinese pay attention the US regarding the loosely attributable claims of hacking by the “Chinese” against the US…I wonder why it took so long for the “China Experts” in DC to figure this one out…!?

Enjoy the news folks – and note to the FBI – the People’s Republic of China perhaps isn’t the boogeyman we want them to be…interesting…no!?
