Ever heard about "US Cyber Army", "Israel Cyber Army", "UK Cyber Army"? Probably not, but you would surely know about "Pakistan Cyber Army", "Indian Cyber Army", "Bangladesh Cyber Army". Have you ever wondered why these countries don't have a cyber army to defend their websites? It is because they don't like to waste their time in painting walls and defacing websites and are more focused in doing some real research. On the other hand, all we do is fight with each other, use hacking techniques that others invented and use exploits that others created without knowing how they really work. While we in the subcontinent are spending time in uselessly fighting for our nations and defacing one and other country's websites, these people on the other hand have built malware which were never seen before. For Instance: Stuxnet, DUQU,Flame etc used to compromise PLC's. While, we are busy in taking down websites of another country just to add more entries to zone-h mirror, they are advancing their research into extensive domains like hacking into cars, hacking into ATM machines, compromising smart TV's and Internet of things for mining bitcoins etc. They are doing all this to make their systems more secure. Take an example of Chinese hackers, they hack into networks and stay there forever without tripping IDS, SIEM's etc and extract data and cover their tracks so no one is really aware of what has really happened. As far as Russian hackers are concerned, they are developing world class malware and using new techniques for evading anti-viruses. Even though I agree to the fact that technology should be used for surveillance purposes, but my point here is that we need to promote and fund real research. Our obsession with taking down websites will not make Pakistan a better place to live. We don't make our country a better place by defacing websites, buy we make it by educating our people. It can only be done by a vision of focused excellence. It's time to think, It's time to change. Share it if you support my idea.
