 The supreme art of war is to subdue enemy

without fighting. – Sun Tzu

 A cyberweapon is a malware agent employed
for military, paramilitary, or intelligence
objectives.
 Stuxnet is an extremely sophisticated computer
worm that exploits multiple previously
unknown Windows zero-day vulnerabilities to
infect computers and spread. Its purpose was
not just to infect PCs but to cause real-world
physical effects. Specifically, it targets
centrifuges used to produce the enriched
uranium that powers nuclear weapons and
reactors.
 Identified in 2010
 Development began in 2005
 Stuxnet does little or no harm to computers not
involved in uranium enrichment. When it
infects a computer, it checks to see if that
computer is connected to specific models of
programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
manufactured by Siemens.
 Created by intelligence agencies of United
States and Israel
 ”Operation Olympic Games”
 Derail, or delay, the Iranian program to
develop nuclear weapons
 Never intend to spread beyond Iranian nuclear
facility at Natanz
 The STUXNET worm is computer malware
wich is specifically designed to target
industrial control systems for Equipment made
by Siemens.
 These systems are used in Iran for uranium
enrichment, that is used to create nuclear
bombs.
 The aim of the worm was to damage or destroy
controlled equipment.
