Did you know I picked my username from the #Stuxnet virus? Personally I think its still a masterpiece.. Like a picasso of the web so to say
4 zer0 day exploits, almost error free code including a advanced rootkit, just wow! Also spreading to 60% of all computers worldwide without doing any harm but still looking for the right targets!
Also gotta say I don't mind the PCI targets they had for enriching uranium!
@stux I had a feeling but I wasn't 100% sure. :)
@stux I didn't know that, but it seems obvious now!!
@stux have you ever seen a picture of the Carna botnet?
@calculsoberic I have not 😮
@stux https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Carnabotnet_geovideo_lowres.gif/350px-Carnabotnet_geovideo_lowres.gif since it's a botnet, obviously it's a bunch of compromised devices, but they used it to make a map of the internet
@calculsoberic @stux Is that coloured by activity over the course of a day? If so you can really see a difference between North America and other parts of the world in terms of the nighttime dip in activity.
@petrichor Yes, it's over the course of 24 hours! It was set up in 2012
@stux
@calculsoberic @stux Is it that folks in USA and Canada don't sleep, or just that they have more always-on devices?
@petrichor I live in the USA and I sleep, but I do leave my phone on at night, because it's also my alarm clock, and sometimes people try to contact me for emergencies in the middle of the night. So probably a lot of people just leave their smart devices on all the time! Plus you have things like the Echo and other IoT devices, which would be part of that too.
@stux
@stux I wondered about that, to be honest. 😁
