[quote=GRIZ326,275258]There are secure networks SHESGOTTOBE, but very few of them. You certainly cannot compare the objectives of the Great Firewall of China with a corporate network or even the Pentagon of the USA.

Evasion of the Great Firewall or an attack that breaks the Great Firewall is a failure. The Great Firewall learns, so an occasional penetration is not truly a failure.

Disrupting service to a corporate network or using it to purloin important data is a failure. The standards for the Pentagon's network security are much, much higher.

Trust me when I tell you that the chance of an advanced hacker penetrating a world-class corporate network or the Pentagon is only slightly better than my chances of punching Jet Li in the nose  ;-)

...but that is a frontal attack...

Penetration of secure networks is most often the fault of an disloyal user of the secure network...or one who was duped by a social engineer.

Of course, there are a few hacking geniuses and in those cases all bets are off.[/quote]
