Summary/Abstract: Informational warfare comes with multiple instruments, tools and techniques complementary to the general attitudes and mechanisms specific to the field of alternative narratives, to take advantage of the perception of people, on one side, and to take advantage of the vulnerabilities of a targeted society, on the other. And that comes from the fact that conflicts and wars moved from the situation of the confrontation of two armies, to the confrontation of two states/two actors and even to a confrontation of two whole societies.
