1 Information Weapon: Concepts, Means, Methods …
In particular, the latter include the following:
– Electromagnetic (in this group, it is possible to distinguish effects based on various
electromagnetic waves: SHF weapons, radioelectronic, electro-optical, optical,
electric);
– Acoustic;
– Hydroacoustic;
– Radiation;
– Chemical;
– Biological;
– Based on new and other physical principles.
The classification of ITIs generally coincides in meaning with the classification
of information weapons with the exception of protection ITIs. Previously, protection
ITIs were not considered as defensive information weapons. However, they actually
exist and play one of the leading roles in information warfare, namely, in organizing
defense.
The main purpose of the use of protection ITIs is organization of effective
resistance to the enemy’s information weapons. They can be classified as follows
(Fig. 1.4.):
– Identifying impacts aimed at identifying both the fact and the sequence of the
enemy’s offensive impacts;
– Blocking impacts aimed at blocking both the identified effects and the potential
offensive impacts of the enemy;
– Counter-offensive impacts on information, information resources, and information infrastructure of the enemy aimed at disruption of the enemy’s offensive
impacts;
– Distracting impacts aimed at the enemy’s disinformation, attracting his attention
to insignificant, or false objects to prevent his offensive or defensive ITIs;
– Counteraction to the enemy’s defensive impacts is a means of camouflaging,
ensuring security, increasing the secrecy of real operation modes, as well as ways
of monitoring real possible leakage channels with respect to one’s own information
systems.
The most concise definition of the means of ITI: various means used as information
weapons or for protection against them [7].
It should be noted that the classification of defensive and offensive ITIs in principle
coincides with the classification of the corresponding types of information weapons.
However, the need for protection against the offensive and defensive ITIs of the
enemy brings us to the point, when we should additionally single out the so-called
protection ITIs, namely [6]:
– REE element base technical analysis tools to identify hardware Trojans and
undocumented features;
– Intrusion detection and prevention systems;
– Means of antivirus protection;
