Explanation of Solution
Stuxnet:
- Stuxnet is a form of malicious computer worm that is used to cause some sort of damage in target systems.
- It has three components and they are:
- First one is a “worm” that is responsible to execute the routines that are related to main payload of the attack.
- Second one is a “link file” that helps in executing the propagated copies of worm automatically.
- Last one is the “rootkit component” that is responsible to hide all the malicious files and processes, ultimately preventing the detection of the Stuxnet.
Discovery:
- It was first uncovered in 2010 by VirusBlokAda.
- It is also believed that this has been used in the attack against Iran’s nuclear program in 2007 and has been under development since 2005...
