Schwierig: Militärs & TCP/IP 
 
Wieviel Material man online hat, wissen die Spooks im US 
Verteidigungsministerium offenbar selber nicht. Die Navy 
allein hat 463 pages & dies ist nur ein Bruchteil dessen, 
was via www abrufbar ist. 
Die Crux: Man benützt ein & dasselbe www.Informationssystem 
auch für die nicht gar so speziell abgesicherte semi/private 
Kommunikation. 
 
post/scrypt: Entsprechend dem, was gewisse Spatzen von 
diversen Netzknoten gepfiffen haben, hat das 
Heeres/nachrichten/amt (HNA) in .AT unlängst das Protokoll 
TCP/IP zum Zwecke in/externer Kommunikation einer 
praktischen Inbetriebnahme zugeführt.

1998 SEP 17. The Pentagon is ordering a top-to-bottom review 
of material it maintains on the Internet, concerned that 
terrorists or other enemies can find easy access to valuable 
information there, say several knowledgeable sources inside 
and outside the government. 
 
In a digital age-equivalent of the World War II warning 
"Loose lips sink ships," the military is directing 
commanders of all service branches to take a hard look at 
dangers posed by the proliferation of Web sites in the past 
few years. 
... 
The Web sites, which are widely regarded as a means to open 
communications between the top brass and enlisted personnel 
as well as providing information to the families of service 
personnel and the public, drew concern after the U.S. cruise 
missile attack Aug. 20 on terrorist training camps in 
Afghanistan, the sources say. 
 
Within hours of the attack, Pentagon computer specialists 
warned that online information about the forces involved, 
such as names of commanders and location of their families, 
could serve terrorists seeking targets for retribution. 
... 
The Pentagon was unable to say Wednesday how many military 
Web sites exist or who, if anyone, has oversight. 
 
The Navy lists 463 pages at its official Web site. Every 
branch of the military and division of the Defense 
Department maintains its own site, and each yields an 
imponderable amount of information. 
 
Those pages contain detailed information about ships, 
planes, armaments, personnel, missions, troop deployments 
and bases. Though almost all of this is unclassified, there 
are concerns about making it too easily available. 
.. 
"In this modern age of technology, there is the ability to 
collate readily available information, which once compiled 
is a ready-made book for terrorists," says Robert Marsh, who 
chaired the commission.
