Complex cyberweapon against Iran's nuclear power plant is the age than previously believed, antivirus companies said on Tuesday, stripping a series of attacks on the New York times "the United States and Israel's another a layer of mysterious veil intelligence.
Stuxnet worm virus, the purpose is in Iran's natanz factory centrifuge, after the transformation of the network security field, because it is the first known a specially designed computer attack, cause physical damage. The actual origin of the worm virus is unclear, but up to now, Stuxnet worms for the first sample already can be traced back to 2009 years, "the New York times - in full consideration of published so far against - tracking back to 2006 years of the origin of the top secret plan.
On Tuesday night released a new report, symantec push schedule into a back, saying that found a primitive Stuxnet virus circulating on the Internet version in 2007 and elements of the program are already in place as early as in 2005.
An independent experts report said, this shows that the creator of worm virus, especially farsighted.
Alan said: "it looks like someone has been thinking about the very long very long time - ten years," Woodward, in surrey university professor of computer science. "It really shows that behind all of these a very clever a group of people."
Security experts generally believe that Stuxnet virus is a kind of attempt to destroy Iran's uranium enrichment centrifuge, it can be used to make fuel reactor or can be used for weapons material the atomic bomb. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Last year, "the New York times" reported that the United States President George w. bush ordered to Stuxnet worms to Iran's deployment, in an attempt to stop its nuclear program, introduces in detail how to send them out of the worm tamper with spinning natanz centrifuge operation control.
The report said, President barack Obama who, who take bush's first shortly after the attack, expand the activities.
The United States and Israel long public officials refused to comment on the report, they suspected of involvement in the creation and deployment of computer worms Stuxnet virus or.
Symantec report shows that an intermediate version of the worm virus - 0.5 - Stuxnet worms in November 2007 finish. The worm lack of some of their offspring complex degree, symantec said, and is designed to interference uranium gas flow control valve opening and closing, leading to potentially damaging pressure build up in and centrifuge.
This kind of practice is cancelled, the improved version of the Stuxnet code.
Symantec says, the use of server to control the original worms was founded in November 2005, and this shows that Stuxnet pioneering the author draw out their attack, now of the Internet and many parts of the course has not yet in place. On the Facebook Twitter does not exist, is still largely confined to the American university campus, and YouTube is still in the early stage.
Woodward said, unsettling influence.
"Obviously, these are very forward-looking thinking, a wise man, and in so doing," he said. "We have no reason to think they are forward-looking thinking, what are they?"
