<p>Hacking is no different than war. In fact, hacking is often referred to as a cyber war and constantly changing just as warfare is constantly evolving.</p>
<p>In battle, you protect your soldiers with armor. Bad guys design armor piercing bullets.</p>
<p>Bad guys use armor piercing bullets, you implement new close quarters fighting techniques.</p>
<p>You implement close quarters fighting techniques, they use booby traps and mines.</p>
<p>Bad guys use booby traps and mines, you train bomb demolition teams.</p>
<p>The chain goes on and on and on and on…</p>
<p>In cyber warfare, you design a firewall, they design an email worm.</p>
<p>Bad guys design an email worm, you design an email virus scanner.</p>
<p>You design an email virus scanner, they use spam bots.</p>
<p>Bad guys use spam bots, you invent captcha.</p>
<p>You use captcha, they use phishing.</p>
<p>Bad guys use phishing, you use redirection notification pages.</p>
<p>The war continues…</p>
<p>The winners of a hacking war are the ones who fight the hardest and the longest. The moment you go to sleep or get up to go to the bathroom, they win.</p>
