A Presidential Commission, several writers, and numerous network
security incidents have called attention to the potential
vulnerability of the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) to
attack. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
networks are inherently resistant to physical attack because of
their decentralized structure, but are vulnerable to CNA. Passive
defenses can be very effective in forestalling CNA, but their
effectiveness relies on the capabilities and attentiveness of
system administrators and users. There are still many measures that
can be taken to improve the effectiveness of passive defenses, and
one of these is active defense. It can be divided into three
categories: preemptive attacks, counterattacks, and active
deception. Preemptive attacks show little potential for affecting
an adversary's CNA capabilities, since these are likely to remain
isolated from the Internet until actually beginning their attack.
Counterattacks show more promise, but only if begun early enough to
permit all preparatory activities to be completed before the
adversary's CNA is completed. Active deception also shows promise,
but only as long as intrusions can be detected quickly and
accurately, and adversaries redirected into "dummy" networks.
Active and passive defense measures can work synergistically, to
strengthen one another.
