Stuxnet, Duqu, now Flame

If you're anything like me news of Stuxnet and Duqu sent shivers up your spine. These two pieces of malware can only be called "cyber weapons". Sophisticated cyber weapons.

Now comes news of Flame, which a.) is centered in the Middle East especially Iran and b.) appears to be the work of the Stuxnet/Duqu crowd. Here are some of the first reports: #1   #2   #3

This is not good news. Life will never be the same again.

Stuxnet Virus Explained

Wired has an amazing article about the Stuxnet virus that targeted Iran's centrifuges.

This is cyberwarfare at its finest. While this article is long, think of it as a piece in The New Yorker or Vanity Fair. This is investigative journalism at its finest.

So, does reading this make you sleep better at night???

Seattle Dharma Punx

I (finally) sat with the Seattle Dharma Punx for the first time tonight. I attended their annual intention setting ceremony. Me? I vowed to love my enemies so that they might teach me.

Fitting, given that I spent today tweaking both of my Tor boxes *and* sent a video to friends in Dharamsala outlining my plans to take over the world with Tor among other things.

I've to two relays running now. I want to play with both bridge relays and hidden services. Squid proxies (for Iran) and OpenVPN too.

"PC" as in political computing!

Suicide Bombers in the Middle East

My prayers go out to all in the Middle East. The headlines would have you believe it rains meat in public. Body parts falling from above.

Stop hating & killing. Just stop.
