There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
What was released was the decompiled structure of the worm in binary. It is of no use to anyone. Those of us who would understand the structure and may have the capability to spend the time to manipulate the code to undertake a different attack were already well aware of where to find the binary code for Stuxnet. It has been available. Move along folks, there is nothing to see here - your AOL and Netscape aren't going to be compromised.

I know the goat rope all too well. I've had to reverse engineer interfaces from uncooperative vendors. There's nothing quite as satisfying as raising a middle digit to a smug vendor and watching them spit and sputter when you succeed in spite of them.
