6D Attack Methodology

A strategic, sequential framework used by adversaries to undermine digital systems:

  • Discover — Find major data centers and substations (e.g., weather balloons, drones with hyperspectral sensors)
  • Disturb — Confirm digital systems in identified facilities (e.g., neutron rays, DEWs)
  • Disrupt — Undermine confidence, cause minor outages (e.g., directed EMPs)
  • Disable — Eliminate key digital dependencies (e.g., cloud infrastructure, network assets)
  • Destroy — Cause physical damage to infrastructure (e.g., Kessler Cascade)
  • Displace — Disrupt civilian focus via targeted chaos (e.g., drone swarms)
