History - The Perpetuated Lies of the Victors!

History
The stories told by the victors - An non objective descriptions of things lied over the years

History is always in the making. What you live on today is history tomorrow. But over the years, as it unfolds, we see a clear pattern. This pattern if we look at it is very obvious, slowly but surely we have a tendency to fudge things and write history as it needs to be perceived to meet our ends now. (The present)

It is unfortunate that alternatives even though they exist are subjected to obfuscation and over time they are lost in the quagmires of document repositories around the world.

Lets see how this phenomenon unfolds. Lets say that an event X has happened to such a certainty that it exists in the collective conscience of the general public. But as the Government or as a body with sufficient muscle to change public opinion, there is a campaign to bombard with information over time about the event in such a way that people have to perceive it as required by the body that wields sufficient power to control media. (typically a government body)

Over time , the system is flooded with the false information or heavily modified information that majority of the people have a view of the events that is contrary to what really happened.

Now that the collective conscience has been sufficiently modified, it is just a matter of fact that claims of prior art regarding a particular event is so biased against the actual set of events, that the modified version of history becomes "The Event"

To a certain extent, the only saving grace is that the medium of communication has evolved to such an extent (this blog for instance) that controlling the flow of information is getting much more difficult for the bosses to be. but funnily I was wondering as to how many really blog on such issues, there are opinions and counter opinions, but the masses needs to vent their content somewhere, but thinking about it, I started writing very recently even though I have had the option to dabble on the INTERNET for more than 15 years.

The problem of using a Search Engine for content has its own problems, Search Engines are still predominantly English. What about the content in other languages. How do you know what the non english speaking world knows about an incident. This content is not understood by the search engine or does not provide me with a medium to understand the content.

I am working on finding an example from the past to provide you as an example. Just hang on...

The CyberRange Exercise - What it entails and Why?

A cyber range exercise is a simulated cyberattack that is used to train cybersecurity professionals. Cyber range exercises can be used to train a variety of skills, including penetration testing, incident response, and threat hunting. Cyber range exercises can be customized to fit the needs of the organization or team. For example, an organization that is concerned about ransomware attacks could create a cyber range exercise that simulates a ransomware attack. The size of the team that participates in a cyber range exercise can vary. Some cyber range exercises are designed for individuals, while others are designed for teams of up to 100 people. The roles that the team members play will also vary depending on the exercise. Some common roles that team members play in cyber range exercises include: Attacker: The attacker is responsible for trying to exploit vulnerabilities in the system. Defender: The defender is responsible for defending the system from the attacker. Observer:...

Where are we headed ... A crystal ball into Cybersecurity in the next five years .. Are we ready?

  The future of Cyber Security: Trends and Predictions for the Next 5 years The field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and the threats are only getting more sophisticated. In the next five years, we can expect to see a number of trends emerge in the field of cybersecurity, including: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is already being used by cybercriminals to develop more sophisticated and targeted attacks. As AI continues to develop, it is likely that cybercriminals will be able to use it to even greater effect. The increasing use of cloud computing. Cloud computing has many benefits, but it also introduces new security challenges. Cloud-based data is often more vulnerable to attack than data that is stored on-premises. The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is connecting billions of devices to the internet, which creates a vast new attack surface for cybercriminals. IoT devices are often poorly secured, making them easy targets for attack. The shor...
