"A wide array of technologies have been deployed during the fallout after the election scandal in Iran, particularly by ordinary Iranian citizens. Some of these technologies have been purely disruptive, while others have resulted in an uncommon level of information dispersal and ad-hoc organization. This presentation is a discussion about the cyber-warfare tactics used in this conflict. It will explore the tools used, discuss their trustworthiness, effectiveness, reliability, and propose what tools future conflicts may employ."
