' Stuxnet virus remitted back Iran's nuclear program by 2 years (Jerusalem Post)

Stuxnet attacked Iran's nuclear facilities and Israel is suspected of creating, put back nuclear program of Iran two years, virus a top German computer consultant page which has been one of the first experts to analyze the code of the program, says Jerusalem Post Tuesday.

"Need two years to get back on track Iran" Langer said in a telephone interview from his Office in Hamburg, Germany. "It was almost as good as attack military, but even better since it does y no deaths and no large-scale war." From a military point of view, it was a huge success. »

"Stuxnet specifically the Iranian nuclear program."

Langer spoke amid news post reported that the virus was still infecting Iran at its enrichment of uranium main at Natanz and the Bushehr reactor plant systems.

Last month, the Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog international atomic said that the Iran suspended work at its facilities for the production of nuclear domain, probably a result of virus Stuxnet.

Best move the Iran Langer would be to throw all computers infected by the worm, which has been the most "aggressive and advanced malware in history." But, he said, once all computers have been discarded, Iran would have to ensure that computers used by outside contractors were also own Stuxnet.

"It is extremely difficult cleaning Stuxnet, facilities and we know that the Iran is no good in computer security [information technology], and they are just beginning to learn what it means," he said. "Just to get their systems running once again that they have to get rid of the virus, it will take some time and then they need to replace equipment, and they must rebuild the centrifuges at Natanz, and perhaps buy a new turbine Bushehr."

Widespread speculation has appointed military Israel 8200, known intelligence for intelligence (SIGINT) advanced transmissions, capabilities as possible creator software, as well as the United States Unit.

Langer said that in his view at least two countries – perhaps Israel and United States - behind Stuxnet.

Israel traditionally declined to comment on his alleged involvement in the Stuxnet virus but senior officers of the Israeli defence forces has confirmed recently Iran met important technological difficulties with its centrifuges at Natanz enrichment plant.

"We can say that it takes several years to develop, we arrived at this conclusion by parsing the code, because code on 15,000 lines of code control systems, and it is a huge" said Langer.

He continued: "this item of evidence we concluded that it is not a hacker,". " Needed to be a country, and we also conclude that even a nation State could not do so on their own. »

Eric Byres, an expert in computer security that manages a website called Tofino security, which provides solutions for industrial enterprises with problems related to the Stuxnet said Tuesday post number of Iranians by visiting his site had jumped significantly in recent weeks – a likely indication that the virus causes always great disorder in Iran's nuclear facilities.

"What caught our attention was that last year we were perhaps one or two people of the Iran you try to access the areas secure on our site, said Byres." The Iran was never on the map for us and all of a sudden we now get an impressive number of people on our Web site and the people that we can identify as the Iran. »


Silo said that some people openly identified themselves as Iranian when requesting permission to log on to its Web site, while others have been impersonating employees with whom it frequently works industries.

"There are a large number of people who try to access secure areas directly the Iran and others are all false identities," he said. "We we're talking about hundreds." Could be people who are curious to know what was going on, but we are such a specialized website that it would be only feel that these are people who are involved in the control systems. »
