Forwarded from: William Knowles <wk@private> http://www.nbc30.com/education/4365694/detail.html April 11, 2005 NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Cadets at the Coast Guard Academy in New London will try to fend off computer hackers in a weeklong national drill. The cadets will join their peers from the Naval, Air Force, West Point and Merchant Marine academies in the National Security Agency's cyber defense exercise. The military students will try to protect a network of computers from highly skilled attackers during the drill, which begins Monday. The academies will be competing against each other, and the winner gets a trophy and bragging rights. The exercise also serves as the final project for senior-level computer science majors taking the U.S. Military Academy's information assurance course. *==============================================================* "Communications without intelligence is noise; Intelligence without communications is irrelevant."
