thanks for that at least im safe in the knowledge that if its used im close enough to a nuclear powerstation to watch the skin melt form my bones, hugs and sweet dreams xxx
Stuxnet definitely is not open source. Would be fun to get hold of those security clearances otherwise =)
Edit: Stuxnet definitely is not completely open source*

I was still paranoid about machines becoming sentient and taking over the world… there’s one more thing to be overly paranoid about
Sky-net 2011 Lockheed Martin©
How’s Derren’s search for real magic getting on, anything that cuts the mustard yet? I’m so hopeful, “above unity” “dna reconstructs itself in water though modifying and transmitting electro-magnetic fields” “meditation on mass creates beneficial electro-magnetic fields” “man really did survive for 70 years on air” “rice intention experiment is real”. ??:)
Having said all that want to give a few shout outs to what is already here. Everything, literally everything has such a unique history and is here crafted and ready, clothing, cooking, shelter, heating, entertainment
It does make me think if I don’t have enough to be doing what I want to be doing now I never will …rambling,
Amazing what you could bring to life for everyone with a little effort these days
Nice animation, although a bit simplified!
Basically what this animation fails to tell you is that since the virus is now open source, and since security companies have become aware of the 20 (I thought it was 7 myself) zero-day attacks, you can be absolutely sure that NONE of these attacks will be exploitable anymore – security companies will have closed up the gaps.
It is definetely, as the image showed, the Ak-47 of the viruses! OMG
Well … Stuxnet is not Open Source (the source code is not publicly available) and it does not use 20 Zero-Day-Exploits but 4.
This animation may look cool, but it is plain wrong.
