“All your centrifuge are belong to us!” - Mossad.

The paternity of the worm is still in dispute, but in recent weeks officials from Israel have broken into wide smiles when asked whether Israel was behind the attack, or knew who was.

Ralph Langner, a German expert in industrial control systems who has examined the program and who was the first to suggest that the Stuxnet worm may have been aimed at Iran, noted in late September that a file inside the code was named “Myrtus.” That could be read as an allusion to Esther, and he and others speculated it was a reference to the Book of Esther, the Old Testament tale in which the Jews pre-empt a Persian plot to destroy them.
It seems there isn’t much in the news these days that puts a smile on my face.
This has me grinning from ear-to-ear.
WOOHOO Israel!
I have a lot of admiration for the guys who pulled this off.
You want to impress me, there’s a certain teleprompter that needs to be shut down ....
Until I learn otherwise, I will continue to believe that Seimens had a come to Jesus meeting with the German Government in which they were asked to develop a solution to sabotage their work allowing the Iranian enrichment equipment to operate.
That meeting may have been precipitated by Israel or perhaps even the Bush administration promising German damnation and responsibility for the world under Iranian hegemony
Any way, bottom line......Siemens did it
They're quite effective on bass and perch too.......
If it was found and stopped before it did its job, it was hardly perfect.
Being that it’s the NYT, I can’t beleive the headline isn’t “Jews Proven Responsible for Holocaust” then below the fold they get around to mentioning they’re talking about a holocaust in systems making nuclear material for rogue states.
I literally was banging on my desk laughing when I read today that:
- Stuxnet looked for networks of more than 33 rotor controllers by two companies, one Iranian and the other Finnish
- It looked for only controllers rotating well above the speed at which our export control laws consider you probably are doing enrichment
- Centrifuges have critical resonance frequencies at which they are at risk to, um, sort of fly apart :-)
- Every few months, it would set the centrifuge (c’mon, we know...) to 1410Hz and then to 2Hz and then to 1064Hz
- Iran mysteriously lost about 800 working centrifuges a while back
THEY KNEW THE RESONANT FREQUENCIES OF THE CENTRIFUGES!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
