A Taxonomy of CyberWeapons

von Clausewitz (the great military strategist) suggested that it is vital to grasp the fundamentals of any situation in the "blink of an eye" (coup d'œil). In a military context the astute tactician must immediately grasp a range of implications and has to begin to anticipate plausible and appropriate courses of action, they do this by understanding the class of problem they are facing. There is an analogous requirement in computer security, whereby the people protecting the system need to be able to understand the type of attack and defend against it. To help achieve this it would be helpful to have a website (wiki) that developed an easy-to-understand classification for cyberweapons, with a visualisation, that was searchable in a variety of ways and easy to add to.
