Volume 11, Issue 3 Editorial
NOVEMBER 2012
In this final issue for 2012, we again welcome our colleagues from South Africa who have contributed five papers that illustrate the variety of topics covered by Information Warfare.
The first paper by Maasdorp and Du Plessis proposes a model to illustrate the relationship between Electronic Warfare, Information Warfare, Cyber Operations, Net-Centric Warfare, and Information Operations.
For something completely different, the next paper by Mouton and de Villiers propose a method of identifying rhino poachers. This is a topic of increasing concern as threatened species are brought under increasing pressure.
The third paper by Schoeman and Irwin examines the contemporary world of social engineering attacks and examines how these attackers are changing their modus operandi in a world where organisations and individuals are more aware.
The fourth paper by van Heerden, Bester, and Burke provide a review of IPv6 security concerns, whilst the final paper examines the problem of remaining anonymous when sending email and proposes a method to overcome this.
Please ensure the papers keep on coming in as it is your contributions that make journal vibrant and viable. Let us hope 2013 will be a year when the JIW will provide even more stimulating papers.
