Revolutionary Risks: Cyber Technology and Threats in the 2011 Libyan Revolution

Abstract

(IWS/03 - Irregular Warfare Studies, book 3) The 2011 Libyan revolution was marked by the intensive use of cyber technology. Using decentralized ways of connecting, such as two-way satellite Internet, the Libyan opposition almost completely bypassed the government\u27s sophisticated Internet monitoring equipment and effectively ended the ability of the Gaddafi regime to control Internet access. Still, electronic actors working on behalf of the regime attacked opposition computers by exploiting key human vulnerabilities.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/ciwag-case-studies/1012/thumbnail.jp
