Message-ID: <e734df3a0811292134w7ffd9b18r861339901cb9989c@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 11:04:48 +0530 From: "Mike C" <mike.cartall@...il.com> To: "Full Disclosure" <full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk> Subject: Project Chroma: A color code for the state of cyber security Hi, It is time to take an example from Homeland Security and define codes of color for cyber-warfare threat levels. I propose the following: Green level: There is negligible threat to online security. Yellow level : There is a minimal level of threat, and this must be monitored and contained. Orange level: This level of threat indicates there are parties who are actively engaging in cyber-warfare. Caution is required when online. Red level: This level indicates a full blown cyber-war. It indicates very high probability of all communications being intercepted. While homeland security's implementation does not seem to have a real world merit, such a threat level would certainly be very useful in the online security realm. Please disseminate this announcement of the project Chroma levels for online security. The immediate mission of the project is to be picked up by the antivirus and security tools vendors, so as to add the color codes to their products and provide users with a tangible measure of their online security. Current status: Threat level Yellow. -- MC Security Researcher Lead, Project Chroma. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
