What is the "open source action" that she refers to and can be found in the description of the segment?

She might be garbling a little. In the intelligence community, "open source" means "we didn't have Mata Hari anything, we found it from websites, books, newspapers", etc. Open sources. So she could be trying to say: "We know from open sources that at least one group is trying to DoS us" meaning something like "There is a group out there with the stated, public mission to try to DoS us" or "A recent newspaper investigation found a hacking group that blah blah blah" etc. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: DoS attacks on Healthcare.gov...
David is correct, "open sources" has been a concept in the intel community in contrast to "covert sources", "classified sources" for longer than we've had computers. It originally meant "reading the foreign newspapers". Among its magical properties of openly-sourced intel is that "we don't have to hide that/how we know this (anymore)". -- Bill @n1vux bill.n1...@gmail.com ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
