• Abstract: Cyberwar strategy and tactics today are primitive and ad-hoc, resulting in an ineffective and reactive cyber fighting force. A Cyberwar Playbook is an encoding of knowledge on how to effectively handle a variety of cyberwar situations. It takes a troubleshooting approach and defines the cyber tactics, techniques and procedures one may employ to counter or avert cyber-based attacks. It provides focus and clarity in time of chaos allowing a clear path of response to be chosen.

  The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society. Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities. With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.

• Revisiting Strategic Cyberwar Theory Reaching Decisive Strategic Outcome [0.0]
  This article will present a theory, strategic cyberwar theory, that states that the utility of strategic cyberwar is tied to the likelihood of institutional instability in the targeted nation. In an ideal scenario, the cyber attacks are systematically attacking the targeted adversary institutions triggering the dormant entropy embedded in a nation with weak institutions. The current alternative to strategic cyberwar theory is to unsystematically attack the adversary with cyber attacks where exploitation opportunities occur, which is likely to degrade parts of the information infrastructure, but it will not reach any strategic goals.
