The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility of a terrorist group launching an information warfare attack against our infrastructure and to answer the question: Is the US ready to defend against a cyber attack? I will define cyberterrorism, information warfare, from both an offensive and defensive standpoint, and define the aspects of the national infrastructure. I will examine the current trends of terrorist groups and focus on their information warfare capabilities to see if it is possible for a group like Hammas, Hezbolla, or al- Qaeda to commit to an all out information warfare attack aimed at crippling or destroying the US infrastructure. Finally, I will analyze the current US posture towards cyber warfare and terrorism.
