How things should be explained! – { Mujtaba Hussain }

This is why I like Schneier and this is how things should be explained

Logically and with a cool head. Case in point, explanation of the Stuxnet attack by Bruce Schneier.

Excerpt taken from here.

What Stuxnet looks for is a particular model of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) made by Siemens (the press often refers to these as SCADA systems, which is technically incorrect). These are small embedded industrial control systems that run all sorts of automated processes: on factory floors, in chemical plants, in oil refineries, at pipelines–and, yes, in nuclear power plants. These PLCs are often controlled by computers, and Stuxnet looks for Siemens SIMATIC WinCC/Step 7 controller software.
