Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
1. Explain the forensic technique Symantec researchers employed in order to receive the traffic sent by Stuxnet-infected computers and describe what their analysis uncovered.
2. 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.
3. Determine the primary reason that critical infrastructures are open to attacks which did not seem possible just a couple of decades earlier.
4. 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.
