When first discovered in 2010, the Stuxnet computer worm posed a baffling puzzle. Beyond its unusually high level of sophistication loomed a more troubling mystery: its purpose. Ralph Langner and team helped crack the code that revealed this digital warhead's final target -- and its covert origins. In a fascinating look inside cyber-forensics, he explains how.
The idea behind the Stuxnet computer worm is actually quite simple. We don't want Iran to get the Bomb. Their major asset for developing nuclear weapons is the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. The gray boxes that you see, these are real-time control systems. Now if we manage to compromise these systems that control drive speeds and valves, we can actually cause a lot of problems with the centrifuge. The gray boxes don't run Windows software; they are a completely different technology. But if we manage to place a good Windows virus on a notebook that is used by a maintenance engineer to configure this gray box, then we are in business. And this is the plot behind Stuxnet.
So we start with a Windows dropper. The payload goes onto the gray box, damages the centrifuge, and the Iranian nuclear program is delayed -- mission accomplished. That's easy, huh? I want to tell you how we found that out. When we started our research on Stuxnet six months ago, it was completely unknown what the purpose of this thing was. The only thing that was known is very, very complex on the Windows part, the dropper part, used multiple zero-day vulnerabilities. And it seemed to want to do something with these gray boxes, these real-time control systems. So that got our attention, and we started a lab project where we infected our environment with Stuxnet and checked this thing out. And then some very funny things happened. Stuxnet behaved like a lab rat that didn't like our cheese -- sniffed, but didn't want to eat. Didn't make sense to me. And after we experimented with different flavors of cheese, I realized, well, this is a directed attack. It's completely directed. The dropper is prowling actively on the gray box if a specific configuration is found, and even if the actual program that it's trying to infect is actually running on that target. And if not, Stuxnet does nothing.
So that really got my attention, and we started to work on this nearly around the clock, because I thought, well, we don't know what the target is. It could be, let's say for example, a U.S. power plant, or a chemical plant in Germany. So we better find out what the target is soon. So we extracted and decompiled the attack code, and we discovered that it's structured in two digital bombs -- a smaller one and a bigger one. And we also saw that they are very professionally engineered by people who obviously had all insider information. They knew all the bits and bites that they had to attack. They probably even know the shoe size of the operator. So they know everything.
And if you have heard that the dropper of Stuxnet is complex and high-tech, let me tell you this: the payload is rocket science. It's way above everything that we have ever seen before. Here you see a sample of this actual attack code. We are talking about -- round about 15,000 lines of code. Looks pretty much like old-style assembly language. And I want to tell you how we were able to make sense out of this code. So what we were looking for is first of all is system function calls, because we know what they do.
And then we were looking for timers and data structures and trying to relate them to the real world -- to potential real world targets. So we do need target theories that we can prove or disprove. In order to get target theories, we remember that it's definitely hardcore sabotage, it must be a high-value target, and it is most likely located in Iran, because that's where most of the infections had been reported. Now you don't find several thousand targets in that area. It basically boils down to the Bushehr nuclear power plant and to the Natanz fuel enrichment plant.
So I told my assistant, "Get me a list of all centrifuge and power plant experts from our client base." And I phoned them up and picked their brain in an effort to match their expertise with what we found in code and data. And that worked pretty well. So we were able to associate the small digital warhead with the rotor control. The rotor is that moving part within the centrifuge, that black object that you see. And if you manipulate the speed of this rotor, you are actually able to crack the rotor and eventually even have the centrifuge explode. What we also saw is that the goal of the attack was really to do it slowly and creepy -- obviously in an effort to drive maintenance engineers crazy, that they would not be able to figure this out quickly.
The big digital warhead -- we had a shot at this by looking very closely at data and data structures. So for example, the number 164 really stands out in that code; you can't overlook it. I started to research scientific literature on how these centrifuges are actually built in Natanz and found they are structured in what is called a cascade, and each cascade holds 164 centrifuges. So that made sense, it was a match.
And it even got better. These centrifuges in Iran are subdivided into 15, what is called, stages. And guess what we found in the attack code? An almost identical structure. So again, that was a real good match. And this gave us very high confidence for what we were looking at. Now don't get me wrong here, it didn't go like this. These results have been obtained over several weeks of really hard labor. And we often went into just a dead-end and had to recover.
Anyway, so we figured out that both digital warheads were actually aiming at one and the same target, but from different angles. The small warhead is taking one cascade, and spinning up the rotors and slowing them down, and the big warhead is talking to six cascades and manipulating valves. So in all, we are very confident that we have actually determined what the target is. It is Natanz, and it is only Natanz. So we don't have to worry that other targets might be hit by Stuxnet.
Here's some very cool stuff that we saw -- really knocked my socks off. Down there is the gray box, and on the top you see the centrifuges. Now what this thing does is it intercepts the input values from sensors -- so for example, from pressure sensors and vibration sensors -- and it provides legitimate code, which is still running during the attack, with fake input data. And as a matter of fact, this fake input data is actually prerecorded by Stuxnet. So it's just like from the Hollywood movies where during the heist, the observation camera is fed with prerecorded video. That's cool, huh?
The idea here is obviously not only to fool the operators in the control room. It actually is much more dangerous and aggressive. The idea is to circumvent a digital safety system. We need digital safety systems where a human operator could not act quick enough. So for example, in a power plant, when your big steam turbine gets too over speed, you must open relief valves within a millisecond. Obviously, this cannot be done by a human operator. So this is where we need digital safety systems. And when they are compromised, then real bad things can happen. Your plant can blow up. And neither your operators nor your safety system will notice it. That's scary.
But it gets worse. And this is very important, what I'm going to say. Think about this. This attack is generic. It doesn't have anything to do, in specifics, with centrifuges, with uranium enrichment. So it would work as well, for example, in a power plant or in an automobile factory. It is generic. And you don't have -- as an attacker -- you don't have to deliver this payload by a USB stick, as we saw it in the case of Stuxnet. You could also use conventional worm technology for spreading. Just spread it as wide as possible. And if you do that, what you end up with is a cyber weapon of mass destruction. That's the consequence that we have to face. So unfortunately, the biggest number of targets for such attacks are not in the Middle East. They're in the United States and Europe and in Japan. So all of the green areas, these are your target-rich environments. We have to face the consequences, and we better start to prepare right now.
Thanks.
(Applause)
Chris Anderson: I've got a question. Ralph, it's been quite widely reported that people assume that Mossad is the main entity behind this. Is that your opinion?
Ralph Langner: Okay, you really want to hear that? Yeah. Okay. My opinion is that the Mossad is involved, but that the leading force is not Israel. So the leading force behind that is the cyber superpower. There is only one, and that's the United States -- fortunately, fortunately. Because otherwise, our problems would even be bigger.

JAMENEI. LA IGNORANCIA MODERNA VS EL DISCURSO ISLÁMICO.Farsi sub Spanish

Lo que hoy promueve el aparato político occidental es lo mismo que la jaahiliyyat (era de la ignorancia);por la cual el Profeta (PB) fue designado para erradicarla de la sociedad humana.
En el mundo de hoy, dominado por la corrupta civilización occidental, somos testigos de los mismos signos de la jaahiliyyat.La misma injusticia, la misma discriminación, la misma indiferencia hacia la dignidad humana; la misma propagación y promoción del deseo sexual y la sexualidad explícita.
La diferencia entre la jaahiliyyat de la Era pre Islámica y la actual, es que ésta provista de las armas de la ciencia y el conocimiento...Tienen grandes aparatos de información, de seguridad y una maquinaria propagandística inmensa.Todas estas son derivadas de la ciencia y todas están al servicio del odio y la codicia.
Hoy, el resultado de la inmensa Revolución Islámica, es la bandera en sus manos. ¿Qué bandera? La bandera del “Nuevo Discurso Islámico”, la cual es la solución y la luz guía para la prosperidad de la humanidad.
Enfrentándose a esta bandera y discurso, está el discurso de la jaahiliyyat de hoy. No obstante, los ojos despiertos de las naciones pueden distinguir (entre las dos). Pueden identificar los dos discursos como opuestos.
Un discurso es el discurso de la opresión y hostilidad hacia los oprimidos y los pueblos (del mundo). El otro discurso es el que apoya a los oprimidos y confronta a los opresores.
La República Islámica es un sistema que ha resistido y se ha levantado constantemente contra
la Jaahiliyyat Moderna a lo largo de muchos años.Por lo cual, la actual Jaahiliyyat moderna se ha ocupado en demostrar toda su hostilidad, con todos su aparato militar, cultural. Con sus técnicas mas nuevas, con las sanciones económicas.
Todos se levantaron en contra de la República Islámica.Pero no han podido vencer a la República Islámica. Han fallado en forzar (a Irán) a retroceder.
Fallaron en que la república Islámica cambie su postura...¿Por qué han fallado? Porque la República Islámica es muy fuerte. ¿Y cuál es la fuente de nuestra fortaleza? Fe y Resistencia. Nuestra fuerza viene de ahi.
Llegado a este punto, notarán que esta importante cadena termina en los Mártires, en los veteranos heridos, en el altruismo y sacrificio individual. Todo esto lleva a personas valientes.

Islam is today a common word which covers two opposite versions.
Hypocrisy towards God regarding actual faith. Hypocrisy towards the tenets of faith: for example, somebody may believe in God, Judgment Day, accounting, scales of deeds and Hellfire (with an uncertainty and doubt) but not fear them at all (in actual) or not refrain from committing sins because of them. Yet he claims, \"I fear God.\" Hypocrisy towards others: somebody is double-faced and double-tongued. He praises someone in their presence, then, behind their back, he denounces them and tries to cause them pain and harm them.\"

The documentary failed to meet its purpose of presenting actual information. This 10 minute documentary is documenting on the Channel 4 documentary. The Quran by highlighting only some of the major accusations and misrepresentations made during the documentary. It gave a total misrepresentation of the Shia faith. The documentary gave the impression that Shias do not pray directly to Allah swt and take the Imams alehysalam as their lords. They did not ask one Shia scholar to give examples of where the concept of intercession is supported in the Quran instead they had a Sunni professor say that it was incorrect. Some comments were not only not true but completely inaccurate and seriously allegations were made.

UN official Enough evidence to prosecute Rumsfeld - English. Monday, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak told CNN's Rick Sanchez that the US has an "obligation" to investigate whether Bush administration officials ordered torture, adding that he believes that there is already enough evidence to prosecute former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"We have clear evidence," he said. "In our report that we sent to the United Nat More..ions, we made it clear that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld clearly authorized torture methods and he was told at that time by Alberto Mora, the legal council of the Navy, 'Mr. Secretary, what you are actual ordering here amounts to torture.' So, there we have the clear evidence that Mr. Rumsfeld knew what he was doing but, nevertheless, he ordered torture."
Asked during an interview with Germany's ZDF television on Jan. 20, Nowak said: "I think the evidence is on the table."
At issue, however, is whether "American law will recognize these forms of torture."
A bipartisan Senate report released last month found Rumsfeld and other top administration officials responsible for abuse of Guantanamo detainees in US custody.
It said Rumsfeld authorized harsh interrogation techniques on December 2, 2002 at the Guantanamo prison, although he ruled them out a month later.
The coercive measures were based on a document signed by Bush in February, 2002.

Middle East in WWI Pt 13 Arab Revolt On June 5, 1916, Sherif Hussein proclaims Arab independence from the sultan in Istanbul; five days later, the Turkish garrison at Mecca surrenders. The Cairo Bureau assigns Major T.E. Lawrence to coordinate military operations with the Arab rebels. Yet much confusion exists as to the revolt's actual strength; British intelligence relies on a single Arab source whose information is suspect.
Promoted to colonel, "Lawrence of Arabia" and Prince Feisal lead the Arab Revolt in earnest by the start of 1918. His guerrillas attack the Hejaz Railway, running some 600 miles from Medina to Amman. Lawrence's actions pin down 25,000 Ottoman troops in blockhouses and outposts along the train line. By September, Lawrence and his guerrillas move north to operate on Allenby's right flank. Arab strength never totals more than 6,000 men, but they are bolstered by British armored cars and light machine guns; British gold helps to keep them fighting.

Vietnam: American Holocaust exposes one of the worst cases of sustained mass slaughter in history, carefully planned and executed by US presidents of both parties. Dedicated generals and foot soldiers, knowingly or unknowingly, killed nearly five million people on an almost unimaginable scale, mostly using incendiary bombs. Martin Sheen, who played the leading role in Apocalypse Now almost 30 years ago, has generously lent his powerful voice to this actual history of the War in Vietnam.

Arbaeen, the fortieth day of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, is being observed in Buenos Aires' Tohid Mosque with full religious fervor and devotion.
The occasion recalls the forty days since the martyrdom, in the year 61 on the Islamic calendar, of the Prophet's grandson - known as the Ashura - and is an important tradition for Muslims not only in Latin America, but around the world.
Imam Hussein and his 72 faithful companions were martyred in an unequal battle with the enemies of Islam in Karbala, Iraq, about 1400 years ago. But the event, even today, is commemorated in Argentina, as if it happened yesterday.
Islam in Argentina is represented by one of Latin America's largest Muslim minorities. Although accurate statistics on religion are not available the actual size of Argentina's Muslim community is estimated around 1.9% of the total population according to a 2009 Pew Research Center report.
There is a large Shia community in this country mainly located in Buenos Aires, Tucuman, Rosario, Mar del Plata and spread around the different provinces.
Despite being far away from Islamic countries, Argentina's Muslims follow their traditions and are united with the world in their mourning.

The Life of Prophet Muhammad PBUH - Episode 1 - BBC Two By Rage - English
In a first for British television, from the director/producer of the acclaimed Seven Wonders Of The Muslim World, Faris Kermani (Crescent Films), The Life Of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)...
In a first for British television, from the director/producer of the acclaimed Seven Wonders Of The Muslim World, Faris Kermani (Crescent Films), The Life Of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) charts the extraordinary story of a man who, in little more than 20 years, changed the world forever.
In a journey that is both literal and historical, Rageh Omaar travels to the place of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH)birth to re-trace the actual footsteps of the Prophet; from humble beginnings in Mecca, to his struggles with accepting his Prophetic role, his flight to Medina, to the founding of the first Islamic constitution, and his subsequent military and political successes and failures -- through to his death and his legacy.
Filmed on location in Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, Turkey, Syria, the USA, the UK and Jordan the series also draws on the expertise and comment from some of the world's leading academics and commentators on Islam, including, amongst others: Tariq Ramadan (academic and fellow of St Anthony's College, Oxford), Ziauddin Sardar (writer and broadcaster), Tom Holland (historian and author), HRH Princess Badiya El Hassan of the Jordanian Royal Family, Amira K Bennison (Senior Lecturer in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Cambridge University), Sajjad Rizvi (Associate Professor of Islamic Intellectual History, Exeter University), Bishop Nazir-Ali (Author of Islam: A Christian Perspective) and John L Esposito (Professor of Religion and International Affairs and Islamic Studies, Georgetown University).
Raising questions about Islam's role in the world today and exploring where Islam's attitudes towards money, charity, women, social equality, religious tolerance, war and conflict originate, the series offers a fascinating, timely and truly unique insight into the Islamic faith.
