A lot of research by all Defense research establishments all around the world is focusing in trying to introduce bugs into enemy’s software system without their notice with the help of remote procedures.
That can make the enemy’s high tech military infrastructure and devices unreliable. With proper complex algorithmic adjustments, the bugs can be totally controlled and the software can be altered to work against the adversary itself.
In that scenario it will be common to have the missile come back like a boomerang and hit the launcher itself.
The question obviously is what can be done to introduce bugs into enemy software – how? How can you ever do anything to the adversary’s computing system unless you have access to that network?
And obviously, you cannot expect to have access to the adversary’s military network. It can be especially impossible if the launchers or military infrastructure of the adversary is decentralized and isolated operated from several separate pockets.
There are early indications that special electromagnetic pulsing can generate software signals that can introduce bugs remotely. It is similar to the effects reported by those who have experienced extraterrestrial UFOs. The reports specifically point towards malfunctioning of electronic devices – not necessarily shutting them down always.
It is a complex trick. The electromagnetic pulses will have to control very precisely to be able to alter the object code or binary instruction sets. It is be the toughest of all software engineering challenges undertaken.
The concept is similar to the way a thief finds the combination in a number sequence lock. It is a complex trial and error effort with certain rules in place.
The task of using electromagnetic pulsing to alter the object code and binary instruction is even more complex. That is why a very efficient and complex algorithm is needed to perform the minute alterations in electromagnetic pulses.
