>> To be clear, I don't hold the view that Clausewitz is right when looking at the Internet...
I guess I'm with you on this. But no matter which side he took I don't see why principles like that should be so universal that they should apply to network attacks as well as conventional human warfare. My impression from what I've seen of the private wars we've had on the Internet so far is that defense is possible, but expensive and disadvantaged. The battleground was designed (unintentionally) for offense. On the other hand, offense as a defensive counterpart, what Dempsey would call a counterpunch, is not available to respectable actors, so we've never really seen it tested in earnest.
