Dissecting Stuxnet

The Stuxnet computer worm is perhaps the most complicated piece of malicious software ever built; roughly 50 times the size of the typical computer virus. It leveraged an array of new techniques to spread and conceal itself while attacking Iranian nuclear enrichment centrifuges. Symantec Chief Architect Carey Nachenberg explains how the Stuxnet worm spread, evaded detection and ultimately accomplished its mission.

This person definitely deserves better audiance.

Stuxnet demonstrates what is possible when you have access to everything you need.

Without a doubt, this is the best video I've seen on Stuxnet for non-computer people. There's no coding shown or any other stuff, and it's step-by-step. Imma put the link wherever I can. Terrific!

Thank you, Nicholas Cage. Very informative.

The complexity of this is mind boggling. To have a worm that actually re writes logic and makes it appear as nothing is awry. Wow i have trouble writing basic ladders.lmao

excellent ! room filled with people waiting for their retirement and devoid of any enthusiasm or interest.

[therockstar]

Whats up with all the old people looking like they have no clue what this guy is talking about? They look like they broke out of the retirement center and accidentally went to the wrong class and instead of making pottery for the afternoon.

Brilliant presentation of a very complex subject...

[nyariezhou]

"my biggest fear is... spiders...I fucking hate spiders"

[kelkiiii]

This is a really great explanation and the enthusiasm was awesome

[deadlock]

This was very intertesting and understandable for regular people (like me).

[jordanmanco]

his thing is so advanced that it will probably take decades or more for the world to understand Stuxnet. This is so complex and advanced, I still can't believe this is possible.

people who program not only have a effect on the virtual world but can also impact the physical world since the two are closely met the only way to get rid of the problem altogether is to get rid of technology but i dont foresee that from happening so all we can do is take precautions and actively monitor for new threats and adjust as necessary.

Israel's Unit 8200 and the NSA wrote something the Iranians never saw coming in 20 years lol
Absolutely incredible the abilities of the worm!

[MaynardKeenanX]

90% of the people listening were just absolutely clueless about everything he said...

[danscott]

The guy in in audience hiding his face from the camera. Hilarious. Great video! Thanks!

Two paws up and a circle (for the lucid breakdown)! :)
