In these years, we got a new type of connection called –”Internet of Things”.

Since internet is the origin of Information Revolution, I will begin with the basic knowledge of internet framework in part one, so that readers can have basic concept of internet.
The second part is mainly about the transformation in each layer of internet, such as politics, military, national defense and information (cyber) security.

However, the access to cyberspace is usually no need of advanced technic, making the concept of war we know start to change. Today most countries began to realize the importance of cyber security. Some of them even recruit “cyber army” publicly such as U.S. and China.

Nevertheless cyberwarfare sounds terrifying and dangerous, you will understand cyber and hacker are not always negative by learning the cases in this thesis. The most important thing we should know is to understand how the cyber works and the reasons of things cause and fix it.
