The following video gives a short overview of the computer worm known as Stuxnet, which is the first (known) cyber weapon. This video does not go in to extreme detail about the worm but gives the viewer a very good overview of the worm, a partial description of how it works, and its intended target. It also ends with the very ominous conclusion that this cyber weapon is available to anyone willing to look for it online and videos of experts discussing/describing how the cyber weapon works can easily be found on YouTube.
For a more detailed overview of Stuxnet I refer the reader to my previous post on Kak’s lecture notes on Malware. This post contains a brief discussion of Stuxnet and a link to Kak’s notes which has an in depth overview of how Stuxnet propagates and works.
