Track B-2: Active Response & Hacking Back

Congress has not legislated (as some advocated) to immunize cyber defenders who employ intruders' tactics back against their online adversaries. There are many clear legal lines, even in cyberspace. But there are also skillful and creative white hat hackers, court-approved malware tools and large gray areas. Should agency CIOs have chalk on their boots, from going right up to the line of what's legal to defend their networks and identify their adversaries?
