[Dailydave] Where the nuclear metaphors all breakdown.

[Konrads Smelkovs]

Big boys are used to think in campaigns and campaigns require
man-power who in turn need roof, electricity, pay, internet
connection, moral support and so on. Clamping down on this then
reduces the number of cyber-attacks.

It of course may be possible that military leaders think that nmap and
metasploit come with a five digit price tag, but that's unlikely -
enough people have read about hacktivists and enough people have in
turn provided support to patriotic hacking groups to know that this
isn't true.
