Korea University defense professional founded in 2011, the first batch of students regularly enrolled in the following year.

Only willing to reveal names of 21-year-olds Noh said he has been interested in computing and network security, his father suggested that he participate in this major. It is reported that Korea all men are required to perform military service, usually for a period of up to two years.

"(7) the time is not a burden for me, it's part of my career," Noh in school science library in a room filled with computers and wall-mounted screen in the war room said. "Be a network Warrior means to give their service country. ”

As a United States ally, Korea is one of the most technologically advanced country in the world. In Korea, network controls including grids, and the banking system, but it also makes Korea very vulnerable to North Korean attacks. North Korea's infrastructure is relatively primitive, Korea to retaliate goals are few.

"Relatively speaking, Korea seems to be at a disadvantage, because we need more of the defense, while North Korea is not used or the provision of Internet," Noh said.

Korea said last year that the North network has doubled the size of the army over the past two years to 6000 people, Korea must improve its capacity to cope with this rising threat.

United States White House in October last year, Korea President Park Geun-Hye said during his visit to Washington, United States, and Korea will implement various initiatives to enhance bilateral cooperation in the area of network security, including deepening bilateral military collaboration network.

In addition to Korea University defense professional, Korea police have been expanding their network defenses, Korea Science Department and other departments in 2012, a year-long project, cultivating so-called "white hat hacker".

Nevertheless, North Korea seems to be in Korea and the United States victory of cyber-war.

According to Korea last week, police disclosed that North Korea into 160 Korea company and Government agencies more than 140000 computer, in which to plant malicious code, thus preparing long-term plans for large-scale network attacks.

韩国大学培养“黑客”对战朝鲜：学生免费参与 - 黑客,韩国,朝鲜 - IT资讯

北京时间6月20日消息，据路透社报道，首尔高丽大学有一门名为“网络防御”的专业，其课程仅以数字称呼，学生的身份也对外界保密。

“网络防御”专业由韩国中国国防部资助，旨在培养年轻的“键盘勇士”，

韩国和朝鲜

以应对与朝鲜持续的网络冲突。参与该专业的学生无需缴纳学费，但作为交换，他们须承诺在韩国军队的网络战争部门供职7年时间。

虽然朝鲜战争早已以双方达成停战协议告终，但韩国和朝鲜之间实质上仍处于战争状态。除了核武器和火箭，朝鲜据称还拥有强大的网络军队，该军队在过去三年来发起了一系列攻击。

高丽大学的网络防御专业成立于2011年，次年首批学生正式入学。

只肯透漏姓氏的21岁学生Noh说，自己多年来一直对计算和网络安全感兴趣，他的父亲也建议他参加这一专业。据悉，韩国所有的男性均需要服兵役，通常最多为期两年。

“（7年）的时间对我来说并不是负担，它是我职业生涯的一部分，” Noh在学校科学图书馆内一间摆满电脑和壁挂式屏幕的作战室中说。“成为一名网络勇士意味着奉献自己，服务祖国。”

作为美国的重要盟友，韩国是全球技术最先进的国家之一。在韩国，网络控制着包括电网和银行系统在内的一切，但这也让韩国非常易于受到朝鲜的攻击。朝鲜的基础设施相对原始，因此韩国能够进行报复的目标也很少。

“相对来说，韩国似乎处于不利地位，因为我们需要防御的地方更多，而朝鲜基本上不使用或提供互联网，”Noh说道。

韩国去年表示，朝鲜网络军队的规模在两年间已经翻番至6000人，韩国必须快速提升自身能力以应对这一不断崛起的威胁。

美国白宫曾在去年10月韩国总统朴槿惠访问华盛顿期间表示，美国和韩国将推行各种举措，增强双方在网络安全方面的合作关系，其中包括深化双方军事网络协作。

除了高丽大学的网络防御专业，韩国警方一直在扩展自身的网络防御能力，而韩国科学部等部门则曾在2012年开展一项为期一年的项目，培养所谓的“白帽黑客”。

但尽管如此，朝鲜似乎还是在与韩国及美国的网络战争中取得了胜利。

据韩国警方上周透露，朝鲜黑进了160家韩国公司和政府机构的逾140000台电脑，在其中植入恶意代码，从而为发动大规模网络攻击的长期计划作准备。

2013年，韩国声称朝鲜攻击了前者的银行和广播装置，令计算机系统瘫痪超过一周时间。

此外，美国联邦调查局指控朝鲜在2014年攻击索尼影业的网络，因为该公司正计划发行喜剧电影《刺杀金正恩》。此次攻击导致索尼影业的内部邮件和多部未上映的影片遭到泄露。

朝鲜回应称，这些指控均是“无理的诽谤”。

高丽大学的网络防御专业每年会挑选最多30名学生，其中几乎全是男生。据高丽大学教授Jeong Ik-rae表示，除了免除学费，学校还每月为每位学生提供500000韩元（约427美元，人民币2800元）的生活补助费。

网络防御课程包括多门科目，包括黑客技术、数学、法律和密码学，学生们使用网络安全公司捐赠的模拟程序进行攻防演练。

据Jeong Ik-rae透露，希望参加这一课程的学生需要接受为期三天的面试，其中包括体格检查。韩国的军官和高丽大学教授均会参与面试。

相比韩国的约500多人，朝鲜的网络军团人数远远占优，不过Jeong Ik-rae认为，只要具备天赋且训练有素，一队小组学员也能打败敌人。

Jeong是一名信息安全专家，从2012年起他开始教授该网络防御专业课程。高丽大学以以色列的Talpiot项目为标杆，后者在科技、应用科学和搏斗等各种领域培训有天赋的学生。

“当发生攻击时，拥有各种技巧进行回应非常重要，其中并不仅仅包括防御，”Jeong说。（编译/扬帆）
