The position of the interior is widely recognized as being "not bullshit" by pretty much every security expert and military strategist, and as applying to all scenarios with an attacker and a defender. It still holds true for asymmetric warfare, the defender needs to prevent all potential attacks and the attacker only needs to find one way to attack that will not be prevented. Here is the entire quote: oops wrong one I don't necessarily support violence being used against law enforcement (not that I give a flying fuck if they all die), but there are more sorts of attack than violent. They can be hacked and information on their agents dumped, undercovers can have their covers blown, pretty much any disruptive thing against them. One of our goals should be to be as disruptive to their operations as possible, not just to protect ourselves from them. As long as we are the only ones with anything to lose and they are the only ones with anything to gain, things are not going to go to our favor. We need to make them want us to stop compromising them, not just fend them off in the hopes that we can prevent them from compromising us. Protecting from compromise is much harder than compromising, due to the full position of the interior logic. Visualize yourself as being tasked with defending a home from a burglar. You need to make sure every door is locked with a lock that can't be picked, that every window is locked and shatter proof, that a tunnel can not be dug under the house and into it, that the chimney can not be used as an access point, etc etc. All the burglar needs to do is find one way to enter the home. Obviously they have the much easier job. The same concept applies equally to us. We need to make sure we can't be compromised via financial traces, via communications interception, via network analysis, via hacking, via the mail system via dozens and dozens of potential ways to fuck up and the dozens and dozens of implementations of those ways that we could fuck up. All LE needs to do is find a single way that they can compromise us. We are clearly taking the position of the interior, and I think it is bad that we are the ones in this position while we completely ignore the fact that we should be focused on not only defending our own selves but also compromising our opponents.
