Using Augmented Reality to Visualize Cyber-Warfare Opportunities

There are many opportunities for front-line soldiers to use cyber tactics to help them achieve their missions. For example, a soldier on a reconnaissance mission who enters a potentially hostile or dangerous space, such as a storefront in enemy territory, might be able to gain access to an open wireless access point in the area or exploit vulnerabilities in the building's alarm-communication system. These exploits would allow the soldier to provide indicators and warnings to other soldiers in the area about possible enemy activity and threats. Soldiers can expand their arsenal through greater awareness of specific lethal and non-lethal cyber tactics available to them. This blog post describes a new prototype tool developed at the SEI designed to help the soldier identify and exploit cyber opportunities in the physical environment.
