Description
The creation of the Stuxnet computer worm is a complex and intriguing story that spans several decades. Two isolated events in 1974 and 2003, occurring in India and Italy respectively, laid the groundwork for this sophisticated cyber-attack. This book provides a detailed account of the journey of uranium enrichment centrifuges from their origins in the Soviet Union to their eventual use by Western secret services in testing Stuxnet. It also examines the unsuccessful attempts at sabotage that were used as a mainstay of Western efforts against Iran's nuclear program. By exploring these events and their aftermath, Before Stuxnet sheds light on the development of this notorious cyber-attack and its significance in the context of international relations and national security.
