Computer Worm Attacks Iranian Nuclear Sites

If you search CR4 for 'Stuxnet' there are many comments and links about the worm.

Better than Faux News: http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/insidestory/2010/09/2010930141612899926.html

Yeah, your first mistake was using Fox news. There are quite a few other articles out there. The info I liked explained how one piece of the software would cause the controllers on the enrichment centrifuges to overspeed the drive motor and cause them to self destruct.

not self destruct from the few reports comming out, here's again from Langner:

We have always said that Stuxnet can only be understood based on hard lab work. So it does not surprise us at all that when we sent our fellow researchers from Siemens back to their lab on November 11 in response to their meager "official Siemens communication" on Stuxnet, success was waiting right around the corner. Only eleven days later, they finally did discover the 417 attack code.

Quote from their official Stuxnet portal: When the CPU 417 and a DB 8061 that was already in the project are used, the malware is able to change the block during downloading. If the DB8061 is not already in the project, no action is required.

It is noteworthy that they point out DB 8061, which is the most peculiar data block of the 417 attack, since it is loaded dynamically by the rogue driver DLL, whereas the other data blocks are either statically loaded by the DLL (DB 8062, 8063), or dynamically created by rogue code on the controller (DB 8064..8070). As their first genuine research result that hadn't previously been published by us or by Symantec, Siemens lets us know that DB 8061 is part of the targeted project. Now with Siemens' Stuxnet experts back in business, we assume that they will soon tell us about any products they know about for the 417(FH) that would use DB 8061.

AGAIN what have the 'boots on the ground' seen outside of Iran? Someone who reads CR4 has seen 417 attack even if it didn't burn you, tell us

It's so intelligent that it has killed two of the Iranian experts on removing it with car bombs. See http://www.langner.com/en/2010/11/29/life-as-a-stuxnet-expert-can-be-dangerous/

Hasn't ANYBODY seen this in their Siemens PLC's?? That car bomb wouldn't have been planted if Stuxnet wasn't still active in Iran.

Has anybody seen the Flyway teams? The DHS is surely removing it or we would see mor things blow up.

I have some good news and some bad news on yesterday's Senate's hearing about securing critical infrastructure in the age of Stuxnet. Good news first: The US Senate has grasped the magnitude of the Stuxnet problem. That's very promising, and there is no irony here. If I had reason to assume that our published research results on Stuxnet contributed only ten percent to the awareness that initiated the hearing, I would say it was worth the effort. More good news: Michael Assante was up to snuff. His best line: We're running out of time. Good job, Mike.

The bad news: They let Sean McGurk get away with saying nothing. It's not that I had a problem with Sean, it's solely about the message on Stuxnet he keeps repeating over and over again. He is telling about DHS' EFFORTS in dealing with Stuxnet, but he can't show RESULTS. Zero. Nada. Niente. Nothing. All these tremendous efforts, and no results to share. Why does nobody recognize this? Why do we have to listen to all this talk about his flyaway teams over and over again, without a single bit of hardcore information on Stuxnet that he can come up with?

There is already a lot of info on Stuxnet here at CR4, which you can find by searching.

To get an idea of what people are talking about, here is the Wikipedia article on SCADA, the type of system that can be attacked by Stuxnet. Yes, these things can be "driven" or remotely controlled, in the same way that more common viruses can gain access to your financial data, or read and send your keystrokes over the net.

No, this is not something that can "think for itself". Yes, it is for real, although probably not "for real" as described by Fox "news." Fox tends to be not so much real news as entertainment aimed at the lower demographic segments: it is the TV equivalent of the tabloids.

Hi, this is a very bad thing for the computer expert of iran they didn't able to catch a worm coming in their sites ,may be they should think like getting programmers from the other country because they can't catch now , they can't catch them neither , never.
