Stuxnet, Duqu and Flame are the new weapons of warfare. These are the new munitions that attack
those systems that have very specific ingredients. The key ingredient
of such systems is – well – computer programs. Those little sets of
instructions that people
call code – not any secret military code – but working instructions for
various machines to pass on various flags, messages, symbols, or data
to other machines so that certain sequence of operation is started or
stopped in a particular deterministic, predictable and pre-defined
manner. This is called software, supposedly differentiating these from
the machines that typically in military mind are the hardware.
