Can an International Legal Framework for hackback be established?
If a corporation or government institution is faced with a devastating cyberattack from either a nation state or hacktivist group, there is no legal provision to hackback. The U.S. government leaves that discretion to the Chief Executive, or President. This 
illegality of a hackback is largely premised on a challenge for the “whodunit” problem, or in legal terms “the proof beyond reasonable doubt”. Describe how approaches to international challenges like fighting infectious diseases (for example tuberculosis, 
or smallpox) by the international community in cooperation with the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), or establishing maritime laws to fight against piracy on the high seas, and the limiting of nuclear weapons proliferation, can help address cyberwarfare 
rules of engagement or hackbak, on an international level. Give examples and references in support of your arguments.  Will the world see the day when the equivalent of a “cyber CDC” is established or rules set that govern cyber-warfare and the control of 
cyber-weapons proliferation? Why can’t governments agree on some basic agreeable principals for cyberwarfare?
