You’d think that the US military would do everything in its power to keep its cyberwarfare code a secret but apparently the Army has decided to adopt an open-door policy with its code so that it can get assistance from various groups and organizations with spotting and combating cyberattacks.
The US Army recently posted a security code to GitHub with a goal of open-sourcing it to better understand when they come under cyber attack. Called Dshell, the code has been used for the past five years to analyze attacks on Department of Defense networks. The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) believes that the kind of cyber attacks launched on the government can be similar to those on the general public. Thus, they hope to get feedback from non-government users to better understand and prevent future attacks.
