Have you heard the podcast from Jack Rhysider called "Darknet Diaries"? I assume you likely have, but that's a good one on it too if you haven't had a listen. (Good podcast in general too, IMO)

@@goosenotmaverick1156 That was pretty much the spark for why I got into cybersecurity, Stuxnet was the first episode I listened to after the Silk Road ones. After that it was set in stone. I owe a lot to Jack Rhysider for giving us Darknet Diaries 🙂

Hes a topguy, thanks for reminding me abt him ​@@goosenotmaverick1156

You misspelled "Israeli counter intelligence in conjunction with a joint NSA-CIA team".

only one joint? ​@@mastpg

Used on the Fukushima nuclear plant as well.

There's also a documentary called, Zero Days.

Exactly my thoughts, conventional weapons always cost significantly more in R&D (not to mention the cost of physical resources as well)

Especially since it was (and often still is) rare for companies to take PLC security that seriously. It's also frustrating that many PLC manufacturers like to hid behind obscurity as security rather than keep information out in the open so it can be properly audited by people who actually care about security.

There are ways an app can use any piece of wire as a transmitter same as how phones use headphone jack as radio antennas and there are many more ways

Exactly what I was thinking...!

@@night_light2867 This crucial piece of information should've been addressed in the video in depth because without a way to transmit information, it's useless.

Do y'all have any video recs on the topic, did a quick search but found nothing :(

OTHER computers that were infected sent information back. Not the air-gapped ones.

@@rosem7889 wa·ter·shed /ˈwôdərˌSHed,ˈwädərˌSHed/ noun noun: watershed; plural noun: watersheds 1. an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas. an area or region drained by a river, river system, or other body of water. 2. an event or period marking a turning point in a course of action or state of affairs. "these works mark a watershed in the history of music" Thanks, Google!

Watershed is (and I start with this as I find it interesting) the catchment area of rivers, streams, lakes. The line between each catchment area is rather definitive, hence its use. A watershed moment refers to a deep change in thinking, approach, direction, of how one thinks about something. Hope the above helps ❤

​@@rosem7889 watershed moment means an important point in history that would change the future

​@@harku123I wonder if the first watershed moment was the flood after the ice age?

I haven't kept up with it, but they did a lot in the early days. News reporters were struggling to do their job as any PC connected to Ukrainian internet got hacked. Many of them ended up sharing a single laptop with a satellite connection.

don't you hear on the news everyday how china has already stolen even IP or data in the US that can be reached digitally? And russia don't steal as much but they are widely suspected to be the ones behind the shadow broker group, as their cyber capabilities are second only to the US.

And Russia has prioritized going after the weakest part of every computer on Earth...the user.

I assume to some degree they don't want to take everything down but rather use it to spy. If nothing works it won't get new input which could be strategically useful information

​@@freedombro6502 Lot of people are blind to the complete insanity which is going on South Africa. They kill tens of thousands in violent activities even though they don't have an active war in a tiny region constraining 2 millions to the size of Las Vegas to worry about. There are a lot of terrible things going on there and Gazan needs more help than ever. I just wonder where had been these outcries and protests when other countries used poison gas against minorities, interred an entire population into rape camps or stole all children to re-educate them to another culture. It's easy to blame a minority culture which has good standing with the West and is put against a billion Arabs. It is apparently much harder to actually call out evil deeds done by the side which keeps funneling them all the money to embezzle...

We don’t “know” nearly as much as this video suggests… it relies pretty heavily on one questionable article as its “source”

I do wonder if this fact is something that is stopping nuclear war. Because all sides are now scared that their own weapons are compimised and an attack might backfire.

@@scheikundeiscool4086Given that the average programmer on Stuxnet wasn’t better than the average consultant (the only genius was bought by the mass of developers working on it), I can’t imagine what a missile infested with viruses from all nations would look like. Indeed, no one would be able to launch it.

What makes you think that “most malware” is like this..?

I'm wondering how much of this type of malware like Stuxnet is out there that is already doing its work but doing it so slowly that it doesn't get detected. Like imagine attacking a company or a whole country in a way that they become just slightly too inefficient to still run profitable/having GDP growth. Kinda like killing someone with a slow acting poison so it looks they just died of an illness

Man couldn't even spell 'malware' properly with the help of spellcheck and cut and paste, it's likely just some edgy teen on his family computer

He (and co) and Beau of the Fifth Column are my go-tos.

I believe there is still a classified part of HUMINT work on the background.

I've always wondered if the high rate of the centerfuges caused vibrations that could be felt outside somehow and those vibrations were the transmission?

​@@ftffighterwhat is the receiver in this case?

😂 🆒 interesting...

It didn't. Airgapped. Was exfiltrated from site.

@@CarlTSpeak Excuse my ignorance but I still don't understand. At 10:57 he says stuxnet "would send this map back to the programmers". What method of data transfer did stuxnet use to communicate that information?

​@@petertimowreef9085 As I understand it, if a copy of a virus escaped the site with information (infected a device inside and got carried away to another with internet access) it will connect to the programers and then an updated virus could then again infect the facility

@@Arcomist Right, so the virus left the nuclear complex in a physical sense, on a thumb-drive or something?

Cyber commands already exist.

Except the CIA didn't use it wisely and aside from attacking a country the western powers always like to paint as an aggressor, Stuxnet threatened a lot of computer services globally including the British NHS at the time.

​@@jaybee9269 yeah dude is a good 20-30 years behind

INL was behind a lot of cyber research in the 2000s. Go on KZfaq and lookup INL diesel generator experiment

Look up the virus known as Pegasus (It's very very scary"

The reason we don't hear about it is because... 1. We aren't trying to mess with the common company or citizenry in those countries. 2. The best attacks are the ones they don't know about. 3. If those countries know they got hit, they aren't telling that they got hit.

Our equipment is overpriced and over sophisticated - it relies too heavily on technology, which is highly prone to electronic warfare/ jamming, as seen in Ukraine Edit: some of our equipment, I should clarify; systems like HIMARS and Javelin, for example, have proven highly effective

@@DanSoloha Ovepriced sure, over sophisticated fuck no. Literally non of the high end equipement has been given to ukraine so I don't know what you are yapping about with elecotrninc warfare.

​@@DanSolohaThe things Russia has jammed only partially jammed it. A lot of them have back ups like interial navigation which has improved. Remember we give them hand me downs. Or could be taken out quickly when used with weapons the US has but Ukraine does not in great numbers. Like aircraft and harm missiles. Those bombs and shells were less accurate, but still much more accurate than dumb fire munitions.

​@DanSoloha oh look, one of the "Reformers." We've been hearing this since the F-16 and it proved you guys wrong hard. Go play with rocks, luddite.

If that's the case... you haven't seen enough.

@@fautedemieux21 Do you have any suggestions?

You can send data through power outlets or maybe use some piece of equipment to generate radio waves. I’ll bet the facility had phones or fax or something that wasn’t for the internet but did allow communication to the outside world. If you had something consistent like power line voltage or water pressure you could use changes in that as binary. Basically stuxnet could control some secondary system as communication if something simple like phone lines or RF wasn’t available. Heck let’s get crazy. It could hijack an exterior camera and watch for smoke signals sent by a spy elsewhere in the country and could hijack a lamp post to flicker on and off to transmit. The possibilities are endless if you are creative enough and the virus has control of enough systems.

Watch the video properly and you'll find out!

A backdoor could've been installed along with the virus or the virus was programmed to create a backdoor

Umm, you ever think it could get out the same way the virus got INTO the building ? Are you developmentally disabled?

@@BravoOne1 What is the point of this bot comment!?

If they got the virus into the system without using the internet, why would they need the internet to get it back out? Why are so many bots asking this senseless question!?

The same way they got it onto the air gapped network in the first place? Are you developmentally disabled or something?

it got out of hand though when it infected thousands of other computers outside iran.

imagine what is being done even more competently.... as in enough to not get caught...

Uh, not having a fail safe against widespread "release" was not exactly competent. Imagine what would have happened if it had ended up in, say, a nuclear power plant, and found Siemens PLCs, and then blindly just treating what was connected to those PLCs as if they were centrifuges. PLCs don't have something like USB Discovery where you can see what's connected to them. They're just dumb "switch boxes" where you need to understand the wiring to be able to understand the code running on them. It was advanced, bold, risky and fairly competent. But I'd really like a video of the meeting where someone went "Uh... why the FUCK can this thing spread like wild fire WHILE NOT being capable of removing itself without a trance if it finds itself on Aunt Gerda's freaking laptop?!?"

$1b cost for a 3-4 year delay in Iran’s nuclear capability, small bit of a waste of hard working taxpayer money if you ask me but i’m no expect in these matters, neither was the government it seems
