Explain the forensic technique Symantec researchers employed in
order to receive the traffic sent by Stuxnet-infected computers and
describe what their analysis uncovered.
Identify what researchers were surprised to discover with Stuxnet’s
malicious DLL file. Assess this significant function of malware and
what potential dangers it could present in the future.
Determine the primary reason that critical infrastructures are open to
attacks which did not seem possible just a couple of decades earlier.
Decide whether or not an appropriate case has been made in which
Stuxnet was indeed a targeted attack on an Iranian nuclear facility,
based on the evidence and conclusions of the researchers. Provide
your rationale with your response.
