#1 So do we hack back?

#2 More importantly, do we hack back with disk munching killer worms and viruses? In the information age, this is nothing short of a military assault. China must be penalized for such electronic aggression through imposition of import restrictions and levies.

#3 We do exactly what Fred does, ban 'em. From the whole shebang. Make their IP blocks non-routable.

Also: Their insistance on monitoring concentrates the ChiComm (grin) channels into a single point of failure and leaves them vulnerable to attack. Only their military has redundancy.

#4 I wonder how much they've managed to get their hands on already.

#5 A random thought on secret stealing:
Its one thing to have the Tippy-top Sekret Planz;
It is quite another to do something with them. Implementation is always a problem with the chi-coms.

From what little I have seen, if you spend most of your time/effort into copying others work, you don't realy learn anything. You are not able to improve much on what you have stolen. As a result, you can never surpass the oppositon. You can only go as fast as the person doing the original work.

OTOH, if you suffer from a titanic cultural inferiority complex, Mindless Copying does prevent embarrassing/expensive mistakes.

#6 Commerce Department technology export office? This isn't warfare, it's some company's hired goons trying to get an economic edge.

I'm surprised that they can get anything going - overseas locations are slooooow in China.

#7 I ban five or six Chinese IP blocs a week. Eventually I suppose I'll have them all banned.

You must have multiple, huge hard drives, ro hold all those addresses.

That, they are - for web browsing. Non-web connections are fine. And even for web connections, I doubt hackers working for the Chinese government have to go through the Great Firewall of China. My feeling is that there is a DMZ set up just for them.

#9 You must have multiple, huge hard drives, ro hold all those addresses.

You can block whole ranges of IP addresses with a statement shorter than this sentence.

#10 Along with each confirmation statement that you've connected to a particular account the Chicoms get, they should also get a worm that replicates all the data on their computer and sends it back to a dump site in the US. If done right, few if any Chinese hackers would ever know.

#11 I'd been getting almost daily (scripted) sshd (port 22) probes from China for months. Finally fixed the problem for good. Next step is a 'tar pit' to bog them down and decrease attacks on other sites.
