post 11. I can't follow much of what is displayed but enough of it sure looks like logfiles and database table information is modified. I distinctly see some SQL code included. I would have to agree with that person's last paragraph. This stuff was designed for espionage. The malware literally creates then populates table structures with what I don't know.

There are multiple items coming out of all of this.

First the rootkit-temhider.

That seems to be an exposure thru the various Windows up to and including Windows7.

Lot's of people use those little flash USB things.

Then the idea that a lot on the Industrial Control companies ala Siemens use hardcoded passwords in their SCADA is really scary....

I imagine we have some of that over here.

"I imagine we have some of that over here."
Same concerns.

The book of Esther is full of hidden codes. The Hebrew word Esther itself means Hidden. I red that the year 1946 which is year 5707 in the Jewish calender is coded in the book of Esther in the size of unusual size of 4 letters in the names of the 10 sons of minister Haman who were hung just like the 10 SS officers in Nuremberg on the exact same day Purim, like you said. Also, it is interesting that the Stuxnet attack and damage was on the Seamins equipments made also in Nuremberg, Germany.

Yes, Megillat Esther, as the book is properly called, means revealing the concealed/hidden. Rabbi Pinchas Stolper has written an excellent book on Purim called, “Purim In A New Light.” You can read it on Google Books
