A German computer security expert said he believes the United States and Israel's Mossad unleashed the malicious Stuxnet worm on Iran's nuclear program.
"My opinion is that the Mossad is involved," Ralph Langner said while discussing his in-depth Stuxnet analysis at a prestigious TED conference in the Southern California city of Long Beach.
"But, the leading source is not Israel... There is only one leading source, and that is the United States."
There has been widespread speculation Israel was behind the Stuxnet worm that has attacked computers in Iran, and Tehran has blamed the Jewish state and the United States for the killing of two nuclear scientists in November and January.
"The idea behind Stuxnet computer worm is really quite simple," Langner said. "We don't want Iran to get the bomb."
The malicious code was crafted to stealthily take control of valves and rotors at an Iranian nuclear plant, according to Langner.
"It was engineered by people who obviously had inside information," he explained.
"The idea here is to circumvent digital data systems, so the human operator could not get there fast enough," Langner said.Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
Would you rather we just rendered the whole place a heap of slag?
America is trying to do the nice thing. NOT kill everyone. That is the job and professed intention of the terrorist run governments.
All because they want pussy from a six-year-old girl after they die.
I agree that this, if done without endangering the public, is the best solution for keeping Iran from build nukes. A military action would get people killed on both sides. Sanctions only hurt the common people because those in power will always get what they want. Killing scientists doesn't sit well with me personally. If there is someway to sabotage the plant without a melt down seems like the most humane way IMO.
I wrongly saved a document containing significant Psychology lecture notes with an encrypted password. I created the .odt file with the intent of accessing it today, unwittingly requiring a password that has escaped me. I hope that someone would be kind enough to un-encrypt the bugger, seeing as I could really use its contents for studying. It would be much appreciated and I would be more than happy to supply it upon request. Thank you kindly, /sci/.
Israel will deploy the "Iron Dome" missile defense network in a few days allowing them to destroy incoming missiles with a 4-70km range.
Fuck the Palestinians. We should import some Slovaks so the genocide can begin in NOW. Wipe out all of them. Track them down in other countries and kill them also. Then line up the sympathizers and kill them as well. Fuck you terrorist loving EuroPEEans.
Let me close with a Palestinian Proverb: May all your children die so our great peace loving people can occupy your lands and kill the rest of the old and feeble. So no one can grow up and fight us. We are cowards and PROUD of it.
Allah is a shit eating dog. I know because I saw him do it.
Spang, are you the real deal or are you just perfectly expressing the true face of Israel to troll?
Spang, GB2 Exile, seriously
Giving SOME PEOPLE a piece of Palestine was just about the greatest mistake in the history of UN. If not for that, Palestine would be quietly rotting like any decent 4-th world country and all that wasted jew moneys would be saving Greece right now.
The current Japan exodus will cause a further shortage of silicon technology as the country tries to recover.
Currently GM has announced the delay in production of vehicles citing the shortage of Japan-made parts. Computer memory and integrated circuit manufacture has also been affected.
As of May 11, all driver's licenses across the United States will be required to conform to federal national security standards. In essence, our licenses are now going to be federalized.
"States must be in compliance by May with the regulations laid out in the 2005 REAL ID Act. The law, a recommendation of the Sept. 11 commission that investigated the 2001 terror attacks, creates a national security standard for state-issued identification cards to be used for purposes like boarding airplanes and entering federal buildings."
Eventually these national ID cards will likely be required for virtually every single interaction that we have with the federal government.
President Obama like many people, was asleep during the Japan 8.9 magnitude earthquake.
However Obama was not informed of the earthquake until several hours had passed. Obama was informed at 4am ET which is when he normally wakes up.
South African government is planning to soon track all ships in it's waters using satellites to curb it's "piracy problem". Currently they can only track ships which have location transponders installed. These transponders can be disabled or removed by pirates.
If they can track ship movements from orbit, what else can they track?
Japanese nuclear authorities say there was a high possibility that nuclear fuel rods at a reactor at Tokyo Electric Power's Daiichi plant may be melting or have melted, according to Jiji news agency.
Experts have said that if the fuel rods have been damaged, it means that it could develop into a breach of the nuclear reactor vessel and the question then becomes one of how strong the containment structure around the vessel is and whether it has been undermined by the earthquake.
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
A local attacker can send numerous packets to a socket listening on the loopback, in order to stop the system.
- Severity: 1/4
- Creation date: 02/03/2011
IMPACTED PRODUCTS
- Linux kernel
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Linux kernel uses a "backlog" in order to store received packets, which are waiting to be processed, before being transmitted to the user, who for example reads them with recvmsg().Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
Dozens of websites of South Korean government offices and financial institutions came under a cyber attack Friday, but the extent of damage is unclear, according to South Korean computer security company AhnLab Inc.
The attackers reportedly hacked two domestic peer-to-peer file sharing websites sites on Thursday evening and planted malicious codes in files.
Tens of thousands of people are feared to have had their computers infected by booby-trapped adverts on websites including the London Stock Exchange as the full extent of a cyber-attack which began on Sunday becomes apparent.
The scam, which also involved ads on Autotrader, Vue and six other websites, began on Sunday after cyber-criminals hacked into an ad firm's IT system.
Malicious adverts were then released which caused fake virus warnings to pop-up on computers belonging to those surfing the affected sites. After telling them that their computer was infected, the bogus diagnostic screen asked for payment to remove the 'infection'.
