Stuxnet engineered by US and Israel

[Exterminator]

Great fucking holy shit! I knew stuxnet was big, but never in my dreams i could of expected it to be a weapon of mass destruction!
NYCTimes revealed it all, stuxnet was made under the bush administration, but used in obama's, and guess what, SEVERAL variants of stuxnet were introduced to the plant, destroying about 15-20k centrifuges to date. Stuxnet is damn deadly man, and to think that it not only broke out and is probably on ALL our computers, the virus was NOT killed. That means what for you?Well pretty much that if you have a nuclear power plant in your basement then your in deep trouble..or if you have a internet connection since they can pretty much monitor and sabotage you easy as that.

Stuxnet copies itself to every file, and to date its too complicated to remove, so any file coming from any system that was infected(given that its format supports it) WILL replicate over and over and over, what was originally intended as a weapon of nuclear destruction, well...it pretty much controls all our computers now.

You know Flame, it's 20 times more powerful than StuxNet infact I made a post about it http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=85223.0 it's very smart. And once again US and Israel are suspected of it's creation.

Only America would do something like this, and get caught.... :poke:

Flame's origins are still doubtful. Also we should take note that flame is a info stealer(just like duqu) and stuxnet is a weapon of mass destruction. So stuxnet is more dangerous as it causes big amounts of psysical damage, flame could of been engineered by anyone, and the code looks several years old, maybe its that "beacon" they used before creating stuxnet?

StuxNet was designed to change motor frequencies on nuclear enrichment facilities to destroy them, if you drag Flame and StuxNet down it's a code, in this code Flame is far more complex flame can sense virus scanning software's and edit itself to become fit for it in terms of size StuxNet is 568Kb and Flame is 20 Mb. And flame's true potential is that of unknown, 20Mb's of code just to steal info is a bit strange it would take about 10 years to decode it all and figure it out so, it's not very well known.

'StuxNet' - Sounds like something off the Terminator.

I just got a nuclear power plant in my basement last year. Does that mean I should remove it?


Not surprised it was the US, due to the very fact they were caught.

Well, your nuclear plant in your basement could spontaneously combust but other than that nope.
Don't forget about Israel.
