This weapon or virus appeared to have a specific target and a specific goal. In this lesson, we discuss both the target and the goal as well as the degree to which it worked and how the plot was foiled. Open up this lesson to learn more about the Stuxnet virus, what it did, and how it was discovered.
In the previous two lessons we discussed the Stuxnet virus and its purpose.

We demonstrated what the Stuxnet virus does and how it was able to create an environment that appeared normal to all observers. In this lesson, we talk about how the virus was able to construct the conditions for t...
In our continuation of the Stuxnet virus discussion, this lesson takes up where the last left off. We made you aware of what the Stuxnet virus does, how it manipulates data, and how that manipulated data gets to the HMI. In this lesson, we’re going to tell you what to look for in your code as wel...
