SECURING THE ALLIANCE
The digital revolution is changing the very nature of warfare. Cyberattacks present grave and complex dangers to everything from global energy grids to fundamental democratic processes. How can NATO, a 70-year-old organization and a bedrock of security for North America and Europe, keep pace with these hybrid threats? And what role does the U.S., a founding member of NATO, have in building trust, preventing conflict, and securing the alliance?

The scene was set: a research base on the Red Planet was struck by a cyberattack and eight teams on Earth had just a matter of hours to save it. Far from being a farfetched scenario, cyberattacks are unfortunately a daily problem for all sectors, including space exploration, and can have devastating consequences.
The ‘Pwn The Rover’ hacking contest was held on 17 October at ESA’s mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, in collaboration with Fraunhofer SIT and ATHENE-Center. Its goal was to bring together, educate and inspire younger generations in the realm of cybersecurity.
The hackathon was challenging, really pushing teams in a mix of time-limited and tricky but plausible scenarios;
Managing their ‘ExoMy’ rover and defending its systems from other teams' attacks,
Attacking competing rovers in order to exploit them,
Driving their rover through a mock-up of an abandoned Mars base
Unlocking and solving Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges – where strings of code, called ‘flags’, are secretly hidden in purposefully-vulnerable programs or websites.
Congratulations to the winning team, “SPAAAAAACE”, from Warsaw University of Technology and University of Potsdam, with an impressive 2000 points! And special mentions also to the runners-up who came in close behind: ENOFLAG, from Technische Universität Berlin and Universität Paderborn, with 1950 points and pwnthem0le, from Politecnico di Torino, scoring 1800.
“Each of the activities were intertwined in some way, so teams couldn’t complete one without giving some attention to the other parts of the contest,” explains Dominik Marszk, Engineer at ESA who co-organised the contest.
“This required teams to excel and organise themselves across a much wider than usual area of expertise. The winning teams managed to evolve and apply different tactics throughout the event which resulted in a very fierce competition.”
With thanks to all the very impressive teams who participated and everyone who applied for Pwn The Rover 2023: with activities like this and the enthusiasm of all involved, our future in space is looking secure.
Stay tuned to @esaoperations on X and @LinkedIn for information on the next Hackathon.

At the reception for the President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.
We first met when he was the Ambassador to the US and I worked for the US-Baltic Foundation in DC. We then worked together on a visit to the US and Mexico by the late President Lennart Meri and a fifty-person business delegation. We didn't get to talk that long, but it was good to reconnect.
In his remarks he recalled the role that Bay Area Estonians played in keeping the Estonian identity alive during the Soviet occupation. He noted their leadership in technology and how after the Russian cyberattack on the country, NATO recently located their cyberwar headquarters in downtown Tallinn. His message to Estonian expatriates was to come back and help, or at least join this year's song festival.
Tomorrow he meets with Obama. I think to give him a Skype phone.

The battle was over, and, yes, the Internet is still in one piece. It turns out that “the biggest cyber-attack in history,” said news agencies and technology web sites around the world yesterday (March 27) was more of a skirmish, but not all-out war.

14 Jan 2010 BEIJING â In China\'s first official response to Google\'s threat to leave the country, the government Thursday said foreign Internet companies are welcome but must obey the law and gave no hint of a possible compromise over Web censorship.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu, without mentioning Google by name, said Beijing prohibits e-mail hacking, another issue cited by the company. She was responding to questions about Google at a regular ministry briefing.
\"China\'s Internet is open,\" Jiang said. \"China welcomes international Internet enterprises to conduct business in China according to law.\"
Google Inc. said Tuesday it would stop censoring search results in China and might shut down its China-based Google.cn site, citing attempts to break into accounts on its Gmail service used by human rights activists.
Jiang gave no indication whether the government had talked with Google. The state Xinhua News Agency said earlier officials were seeking more information about its announcement.
The main Communist Party newspaper warned companies to obey government controls as Web users visited Google\'s Beijing offices for a second day to leave flowers and notes expressing support for the company.
Peoples Daily, citing a Cabinet official\'s comments in November, said companies must help the government keep the Internet safe and fight online pornography and cyberattacks.
Web companies must abide by \"propaganda discipline,\" the official, Wang Chen, was quoted as saying. \"Companies have to concretely increase the ability of Internet media to guide public opinion in order to uphold Internet safety.\"
Also Thursday, a law professor and human rights lawyer, Teng Biao, wrote on his blog that someone broke into his Gmail account and forwarded e-mail to another account. Teng said he did not know whether he was one of two Chinese activists mentioned by Google as hacking targets.
\"Google leaving China makes people sad, but accepting censorship to stay in China and abandoning its `Don\'t Be Evil\' principles is more than just sad,\" Teng wrote.
Another Beijing human rights lawyer, Jiang Tianyong, says his Gmail account was hacked in November and important materials taken, the Hong Kong-based China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group announced. Jiang has represented Tibetan activists and advised people with AIDS who are seeking government help.
Outside the Google offices, some visitors poured small glasses of liquor, a Chinese funeral ritual.
One man left a copy of Peoples Daily, which he said represented the tightly controlled state media that China\'s public would be left with if Google pulls out and censorship continues.
\"Google is the true hero in this silent city,\" said a note left outside the building in the capital\'s Haidian technology district. Referring to the government Web filter, popularly known as the \"Great Firewall,\" another note said, \"The tallest walls cannot divide people\'s sentiments. Google: Bye, let\'s meet on the other side of the wall.\"
Employees entered and left the building but declined to talk to reporters.
Google\'s main U.S. site has a Chinese-language section but Beijing\'s filters make that slow and difficult to access from China.
Beijing promotes Internet use for business and education but operates extensive filters to block access to material deemed subversive or pornographic, including Web sites run by dissidents and human rights groups. Its market of 338 million Internet users is the world\'s most populous.
A Google departure could give a boost to local rival Baidu Inc., allowing it to pick up Google users and advertisers, analysts said.
Baidu, launched in 2000, is a standout in the global search industry â a local competitor that beats giant Google Inc. Baidu has 60 percent of China\'s search market and has held onto that despite Google\'s launch of a local site and relentless efforts to tailor its services to Chinese tastes.
\"We view this development as a major positive opportunity for Baidu,\" Citigroup analysts Catherine Leung and Mark S. Mahaney said in a report.
The Global Times, published by Peoples Daily and known for a fiercely nationalistic tone, took an unusually conciliatory stance Thursday, warning that Google\'s departure would be a \"lose-lose situation\" for China.
\"Google is taking extreme measures but it is reminding us that we should pay attention to the issue of the free flow of information,\" the newspaper said. It said China\'s national influence and competitiveness depend on access to information and added, \"We have to advance with the times.\"
The White House said Wednesday it was briefed by Google on its plans in China but refused to give details. Spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama made his stance on Internet freedom clear during his trip to China in November, when he told students an open exchange of information makes all countries stronger.
Gibbs said the White House is awaiting China\'s response to Google\'s announcement. Asked whether the incident could cause a U.S.-China chill, Giggs said: \"We stood in China when we gave the answer about a free Internet. So, the president and this administration have beliefs about the freedom of the Internet.\"
It appeared unlikely other companies might follow Google\'s lead and try to change how business is done in China.
\"As long as you aren\'t involved in politics, the media or pornography, the government will leave you alone,\" said Siva Yam, president of the United States of America-China Chamber of Commerce, which primarily represents U.S. companies in China.

Modern warfare isn’t always about battlefields. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made this clear recently as he referred to a growing cyber-threat from Iran. He went so far as to declare that the Pentagon is prepared to take action if America is threatened by a computer-based assault. Apparently major banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Capital One have experienced massively distributed denial-of-service attacks.
In a recent Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence directorate, there was this warning issued:
“Iran’s cyber aggression should be viewed as a component, alongside efforts like support for terrorism, to be the larger covert war Tehran is waging against the West.”
While Panetta carefully worded his remarks, one expert said his message to Iran was quite evident. “It’s not something where the people are throwing down the gauntlet, but I think Panetta comes pretty close to sending a clear warning (to Iran): We know who it was. Maybe you want to think twice before you do it again.”
In his speech Panetta declared that the Shamoon virus replaced crucial system files with the image of a burning U.S. flag, and also overwrote all data, rendering more than 30,000 computers useless, forcing them to be replaced.
The weapons of modern warfare truly are divergent in nature. The totality and eternity of the Word of God, however, never wavers, for we are told in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…” This is comforting to say the very least. It does not, though, relieve us from duty as prayer warriors, for we must continue to follow the directive we are given in Psalm 122:6 and continually pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
