Stuxnet targeted two types of speed controller, one made in Finland (IIRC) and one in Tehran. 3) Undoubtedly, however the exposure of their delivery mechanism makes this much harder.
- gregschlom 16y ago> They've probably switched to homegrown motor drives now According to Wikipedia [1]: it was reported in 2006 that the tiny amount of material deposited in fingerprints on Iran's prototype centrifuges were enough to cause the machines to shatter. It's not like that's the kind of stuff anyone can build at home. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippe-type_centrifuge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippe-type_centrifuge
- marze 16y agoIf you can build a centrifuge, you'd think you could build a variable speed motor drive which is about 100 times easier.
