The Jester Dynamic: A Lesson in Asymmetric Unmanaged Cyber Warfare

Sophisticated and complex to implement, long-term cyber attacks are often considered the work of intelligent agencies and crime syndicates. However, the oversight and bureaucracy that comes from such management often hinders the ultimate lethality of the attack. In this paper, we will examine the significant impact a lone-wolf patriot hacker has had over the course of the last two years, and what important lessons we can learn from him on how to wage a successful fight in this domain. We will highlight the relatively successful patriot hacking campaign of The Jetser.
