Cyberspace is all over. We depend on it for everything we do. We've reengineered our business, governance, and cultural relations around a planetary network unlike any before it. But there are dangers looming, and malign pushes are threatening to transform this extraordinary area. In Dark Code, Ronald J. Deibert, a respected expert on digital technology, security, and individuals rights, elevates the cover on cyberspace and shows what's on the line for Internet users and individuals. As cyberspace develops in unprecedented ways, powerful realtors are scrambling for control. Predatory cyber-criminal gangs such as Koobface have made cultural mass media their stalking ground. The finding of Stuxnet, a pc worm reportedly developed by Israel and america and aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities, demonstrated that talk about cyberwar is now a very real possibility. Governments and companies are in collusion and are establishing the rules of the street nowadays. This isn't the way it was said to be. The Internet's original promises of a global commons of distributed knowledge and marketing communications is now under threat. Attracting on the first-hand encounters of 1 of the most crucial protagonists in the struggle - the Resident Lab and its own global network of frontline research workers, who have put in more than a decade breaking cyber espionage wedding rings and uncovering attacks on individuals and NGOs worldwide - Dark Code can take listeners on a fascinating journey into the struggle for cyberspace. Thought-provoking, engaging, and sometimes terrifying, this is a wakeup call to individuals who have come to consider the web for awarded. Cyberspace is ours, it is what we make of it, Deibert argues, and we have to act now before it slips through our understanding.
