bor.borygmus

A programming weblog by Hao Lian. • A long walk through an angry forest. • A series of memory leaks brought on by senility.

Stuxnet is a worm that has recently hit computers from Germany to India, spreading via USB sticks. Otherwise mild-mannered boring security news except that (1) it’s so complicated it must’ve been programmed by a team of field experts and (2) its purpose appears to be highly-focused industrial sabotage. A fascinating intersection of programming, international intrigue, and MURDER, possibly.
