Extractions: 10:20 AM Mar. 05, 1998 PT An 18-year-old hacker living somewhere outside the United States claims to have high-level access to as many as 400 unclassified government and military computer systems, and also claims to be the tutor of the two California teenagers implicated in recent attacks against federal networks. An expert on US military computer vulnerabilities said claims made by the hacker, who goes by the name Analyzer, are plausible. "[Defense Department Web servers are vulnerable] enough for me to get access to one system," Analyzer said. "From there, I get the rest." The hacker communicated with Wired News in a 90-minute interview Tuesday night over Internet Relay Chat - a global network of real-time chat servers. He said that he has been concerned that the FBI, in rousting two Northern California teenagers, is targeting the wrong people. "I just don't want them to hang the wrong person," said Analyzer, who characterized the two youths as his "students" and said they were merely working from one of his site password lists.

Extractions: More than 240,000 Defense Department jobs are eligible for outsourcing under the 1998 Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act, according to the agencys latest inventory of commercial jobs released Monday. Defense was the sole agency in the fourth and final round of fiscal 2001 FAIR Act lists to be published in the Federal Register by the Office of Management and Budget. The inventory showed that Defense had 412,756 commercial jobs at the beginning of fiscal 2001. Of those, 241,332 could be performed in the private sector. Defense used various exemptions to protect the remaining 171,424 jobs on the list from possible outsourcing. The release puts an end to OMBs review of agency FAIR Act lists for fiscal 2001. In all, OMB signed off on the lists for 109 agencies, which contained well over 1 million commercial jobs. The release of the Defense Departments list was held up by controversy surrounding the Pentagons participation in the Bush administrations competitive sourcing initiative.

Extractions: "The potential value UAVs offer range across virtually every mission area and capability of interest to DoD," said Dyke Weatherington, deputy of the UAV planning task force at the Defense Department. "When we remove the human from the vehicle, we open up a range of possibilities that was never possible when we had humans on board." There are eight types of UAVs in use, Weatherington said. The Air Force's Predator and Global Hawk models have been deployed in Afghanistan, mostly for reconnaissance, although some of the Predators have been retrofitted with Hellfire missiles. A Predator-fired Hellfire was used to kill one of al Qaeda's top lieutenants in Afghanistan, according to the Defense Department.

Extractions: 03:00 PM May. 04, 1998 PT The founder of a computer-security Web site who published details of recent hacker penetrations into government systems has been warned by a Defense Department contractor that he may be considered an accessory to the crimes. John Vranesevich, founder of full-disclosure computer security Web site AntiOnline , posted two emails that he and other AntiOnline members received last week from a contractor with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The emails, sent by a system administrator at the Denver Defense Megacenter a financial administration center run by DISA suggested that Vranesevich "had knowledge of a crime and may be culpable." In recent weeks, AntiOnline has reported several penetrations of DISA systems by crackers, and included screen shots of government programs and sign-on screens as proof of the intrusions.

Extractions: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) disclosed to news sources Monday that it has restricted general access to a majority of its Web sites in order to secure them against the "Code Red" worm, the same virus that unsuccessfully targeted White House computers last week. Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Catherine Abbott said that until the Code Red worm no longer poses any threats to DoD networks, most of the agency's sites will remain off-limits to the public. In addition, said Abbott, the DoD has ordered its auxiliary agencies to "review the status of their Internet information servers to ensure that the appropriate patches were previously installed [in order] to protect DoD Web sites from being compromised." Abbott added that Pentagon technicians are figuring out where systems vulnerabilities may exist within many of the DoD's approximately 10,000 separate networks and what sort of patches or work-arounds will be needed to protect areas that may be vulnerable to attack.

Extractions: Archive The Department of Defense is responsible for providing the military forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our country. The major elements of these forces are the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, consisting of about 1.7 million men and women on active duty. Of these, some 518,000 including about 67,000 on ships at sea are serving outside the United States. They are backed, in case of emergency, by the 1,000,000 members of the reserve components. In addition, there are about 1.1 million civilian employees in the Defense Department. Under the President, who is also Commander in Chief, the Secretary of Defense exercises authority, direction, and control over the Department, which includes the separately organized military departments of Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff providing military advice, the unified and specified combatant commands, and various defense agencies established for specific purposes. Every State in the Union has some defense activities. Central headquarters of the Department is at the Pentagon, the ``world's largest office building.''

Extractions: While some agencies are scrambling to implement training for information technology project and program management, the Defense Department tackled the problem years ago. For more than a decade, the department has been educating IT management employees through the Defense Acquisition University and the Information Resources Management College. The courses have changed over time, but the training continues to be rigorous and mandatory for managers. "We're a lot ahead of the game," said Joyce France, acting division director for planning and outreach for DOD's deputy chief information officer. "The civilian agencies are just getting revved up to look at that." The complexity of the systems in the department generated the need for such training. Program managers must have completed a program management course and have at least eight years of acquisition experience to manage a major program. "We've been into this longer than the civilian agencies because of the complexity of the systems within the Department of Defense," France said. "If you're not certified, you cannot be evaluated to serve in a position defined as a project or program manager."

The two sides said Friday that they had reached a resolution that establishes a new radio frequency threshold for products using unlicensed radio spectrum primarily Wi-Fi products. The Department of Defense worried that the cumulative effect of Wi-Fi products could interfere with the military's use of radar because the regions of the spectrum in which Wi-Fi and radar operate overlap. The new resolution encourages the use of the 5GHz band in the United States and internationally. The use of this band is likely to be a significant topic at the upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference in June in Geneva.

Following the allegedly racially-motivated murders of two African Americans by soldiers from Fort Bragg near Fayetteville, NC, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, urged Defense Secretary William Perry to implement measures to address the problem of extremist activity by military personnel. Citing reports that one of the soldiers openly displayed a swastika flag in his barracks and wore Skinhead garb, Mr. Foxman questioned the efficacy and clarity of Department guidelines that failed to call for an investigation into such "signals of hate activity." In a letter to Mr. Foxman, William E. Leftwich III, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, said, "following the Fayetteville incident, we developed prevention strategies through consultation with former DOD officials and outside authorities, and Secretary Perry issued a statement publicly re-emphasizing DOD policy on active participation in supremacist groups."

Extractions: Red Hat Certified by Defense Department February 12, 2003 (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) Open source and Linux provider Red Hat Inc ( RedHat.com ) announced on Tuesday, at the E-Gov event in Washington DC, that its Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is the first Linux platform to achieve the Department of Defense's Defense Information Systms Agency Common Operating Environment (COE)certification. COE is a DoD software security and interoperability specification, broadly recognized as a critical computing standard within the U.S. government. Red Hat Linux Advanced Server achieved the certification while running on IBM eServer xSeries 330. Red Hat CTO Michael Tiemann delivered a keynote at the E-Gov Web Enabled Government Conference, explaining the importance of architecture in government IT infrastructure and why COE compliance for Linux is a good example of a supportable open source technology foundation. "The fact that Red Hat was able to achieve COE compliance for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server expels yet another myth about the enterprise readiness of open source software," said Tiemann "Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is a trusted platform for enterprise infrastructure and will now offer the same values to the government. The COE Program's inclusion of LSB aligns with the platform standards accepted by the Linux community. This is also yet another demonstration of how Red Hat's open source solution put the theory of open standards into practice."

"Other organizations are competing actively to work for the federal government." The DOD has a lot of data on legacy systems and is working to move it to areas in which Web-based interfaces can be used. For instance, the agency is in the midst of converting its Global Command and Control System which holds information on troop movements and combat readiness to take advantage of technology that can use such an interface, Menkart said.
