Nice article. I wonder how reliable one can use the targeting mechanism. Essentially it depends on two installed programs, one in the programs folder and one in the $PATH. So by choosing proprietary programs, one can likely target one department of one organization. On the other hand there are programs which are highly suggestive of the user, for example one could target Autocad and therefore target engineers or Cubase and target musicians.
Guess we will find out, when the Iran runs some testing utility on their systems. ( And Ahmadinejad needs a nice topic for a press conference... )
