code is not available for any1.. i'm pretty sure government ordered to design it. this kind of viruses can't be made by some mature haxors

[Hybridx86]

this is media and it is saying lots of bullshit, and unfortunately u believe in every world. code u downloaded is not actually stuxnet code but decompiled code generated by IDA hex ray, which might not be even close to real stuxnet source code.

Code is not available for anyone? Then, one, why does it say it in the video, and, two, how the fuck could I download it from a PUBLIC FILESHARING WEBSITE? As I'm writing this, I'm looking over one C file from exactly that virus here in another window.

#1 what does worm the Stuxnet have to do with minecraft servers ?? it was designed by American and Israeli agencies to attack Natanz nuclear reactor centrifuges.

#2 Stuxnet is Windows based worm, that means it can only run on windows operating systems, how could it infect fucking PS vita which have unix based OS ????

#3 FUCK off fucking ignorant dumb lord and save ur stupid tales for yourself !!!

[Hybridx86]

[the33Clownkiller]

Holly fuck some one used this virus on a minecraft server and our computer has caught it

[benyoung2575j]

It works like this; The developers try to patch their software against the exploit, then the crackers update their program. It really is a game of cat and mouse in that sense.

NO you can always turn it back on. Even if you have to run it manually. It is the length of time needed to get it back online that could be a problem but that then depends upon if and how much damage occurs when you shut down a grid because if you don't do things correctly you destroy infrastructure. It all depends on the damage incurred. No more and no less. Lolz at the not being able to turn it on again.
