    France moving away from deterrence.

    “using a deterrent approach in cyberspace that would force any attacker to exercise restraint against France is fanciful, but adopting response strategies that galvanise all the options the State has available, both European and international, means cyber attacks can be made particularly costly for attackers”- pp 131, page 39.

    Old wine in new bottles is an old expression, that probably predates the modern English language. As Brinton Webb Woodward put in back in the 1890s book Old Wine in New Bottles for Old and New Friends, “ … we thresh over the same old straw. In literature we find, and decant, and bottle up the old wine,. We pour over the old liquor into new packages and put on labels of our own. Haply we filter away the lees and dregs which time had precipitated to the bottom.” This is quite a nice spin on the phrase as it suggests time as an important element in the process of refining ideas and the process of transference as one that removes the garbage and possibly leaving a little space for the new. That is more positive than the modern interpretation of old institutions with a new name. Interestingly, as it pertains to this particular conversation it could be seen as a turn on the biblical expression of new wine in old wineskins, “. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.” Luke 3:37. This older expression can be taken to suggest that new ideas must be received into a new institutions or there could be a problematic conflict between older structure, or that prior knowledge can negatively affect the understanding of new concepts.

    All this to say that the phrase ‘old wine in new bottles’ could be very appropriate to the process that is required for cybersecurity research, if we take Woodward’s interpretation. But it could really be a case of us struggling with ‘new wine in old bottles’.

    In either case, the value of new researchers doing new forms of research with new theory is apparent.

    I called this episode “Fraudiculture”, because I thought it interesting how the metaphors used to communicate the techniques seemed to target those with an understanding of agriculture, such as raising cows and pigs as endeavours performed with great care and even empathy, but an ultimate aim of exploitation.

    I am not vegan, I just like to provide metaphorical options for those that prefer less violent phrasing.
