Stuxnet

by Jason Stotts

In case you haven’t heard about it yet, you should definitely check out this news article on FoxNews about the computer virus stuxnet, which has all but crippled Iran’s nuclear program.

Simply put, Stuxnet is an incredibly advanced, undetectable computer worm that took years to construct and was designed to jump from computer to computer until it found the specific, protected control system that it aimed to destroy: Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.

I think whoever designed and implemented stuxnet should get a Nobel Peace Prize for hampering the crazy and destructive Iran.  It really is a work of art and can be credited with delaying the inevitable war with Iran.
