I remember reading a very well written article on stuxnet, detailing the entire way it worked. It was written in a very story-like way that built slowly until it revealed what the actual payload and impact was. Does anyone have a link to this article?
- mackman 3y agoThe book about it is a great read although I think it could have used a lot more editing.

Edit: Maybe it isn't what I wanted, but this article was good. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/07/how-digital-detectives-deciphered-stuxnet-the-most-menacing-malware-in-history/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/07/how-digital-dete...

- justneedaname 3y agoThis Quora answer isn't article length but follows a similar story-like narrative and is well written imo. I remember reading this before I was working in tech and was amazed at how somebody(ies) came up with this (Can't link direct URL as work filter doesn't allow Quora!) https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj75_CkifaCAxV3QUEAHUScC70QFnoECBEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com%2FWhat-is-the-most-sophisticated-piece-of-software-ever-written-1&usg=AOvVaw1oV3RHEnAVVoh3zHE4gxp-&opi=89978449 https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web...

- aeldidi 3y agoMost likely this. I vividly remember reading this the first time I had heard about STUXNET. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-most-sophisticated-piece-of-software-ever-written-1/answer/John-Byrd-2 https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-most-sophisticated-piece-o... edit: someone beat me to it, I just didn't notice since it wasn't a direct link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38518286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38518286
