Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors

Trailrunner7 writes "There is a growing sentiment among security researchers that the programmers behind the Stuxnet attack may not have been the super-elite cadre of developers that they've been mythologized to be in the media. In fact, some experts say that Stuxnet could well have been far more effective and difficult to detect had the attackers not made a few elementary mistakes."

Ok! Ok! I must have, I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Open source

The Sutxnet should have been developed using open source model. That way more experts would have seen the code and that would have eliminated all these errors. Maybe I should create a project in SourceForge.

Oh please — you Blame America First types are making me sick.

Look, WE didn't put all of that delicious oil under their land, GOD did. So if you wish to cast your lot with those that blasphemed Our Lord by denying us access to his mildly inconveniently placed bounty, then go right ahead, sinner. I will pray for your unworthy soul as I fill my tank with His Love.
