​OK just so people know. I am working on this with a well known co-author
and we have a totally serious purpose behind the humorous aspects.

One point is that this is material people developing apps should be reading
so as to develop counter-counter measures.

The bigger point is that these documents and the weaponized attacks should
have been protected by end-to-end encryption throughout their lifecycle,
including on the Web server. We are currently at a conference on building
international norms for cyber and would like to establish 'lock up your
weapons' as a norm.

Besides being a norm that benefits the community, it is a norm that would
benefit every one of the 117 national cyber commands that currently exist.
