Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers

Product Information

The file Hultquist had been passed from iSight’s Ukraine office was a PowerPoint attachment. It seemed to silently pull off exactly that sort of code execution, and in Microsoft Office, one of the world’s most ubiquitous pieces of software. The narrative structure of the book was well written which made the less interesting parts of cyberwar more exciting and more enjoyable to read Although Robinson knew that the malware was self-contained and therefore had to include all the encryption keys necessary to unscramble itself and run its code, the key to each layer of that scrambling could only be found after decoding the layer on top of it. Just a few months ago, a Netherlands researcher wanted to come to the U.S. to present a paper on the vulnerability of the industrial control system. There are almost 30,000 of these devices (programmable logic controllers) that control everything from wastewater plants to the electrical grid. The researcher, thanks to America's arcane and silly visa system, was not admitted and so unable to present these important findings. Fortunately he was able to post them to his blog. Whether that resulted in a wider dissemination of the information than had he delivered his talk is academic, perhaps. ** Hardcastle, Jessica Lyons.

It [the sandworm] appeared to be more than half a league long, and the rise of the sandwave at its cresting head was like the approach of a mountain. VFX production supervisor Paul Lambert explained, "We spent more time working out the animation around the worm than the worm itself [with its large mouth and teeth]. You see the destruction that it creates. We spent time trying to find references of how sand can be displaced so we could copy that." [41] Video games [ edit ]

Less than two months after iSight had found its first fingerprints, Hultquist’s idea of Sandworm had shifted yet again. “This was a foreign actor who had access to zero days making a deliberate attempt on our critical infrastructure,” Hultquist said. “We’d detected a group on the other side of the world carrying out espionage. We’d pored over its artifacts. And we’d found it was a threat to the United States.”
