Bagaimana Virus Stuxnet Menyerang System PLC dan Cara Mengatasinya.

Beberapa waktu lalu kita pernah digegerkan dengan virus Stuxnet. Virus ini sangat berbahaya karena menyerang sistem database yang berada di CPU PLC, yaitu DB890 dan DB8062.

Bagaimana virus tersebut bereaksi dan menyerang PLC, silahkan simak video dibawah ini:



Dengan menyimak video diatas, anda akan menyadari dan membayangkan bagaimana jika virus ini menyerang sistem plc sekala besar di industri bahkan di reaktor nuklir.... Ini bisa menjadi hal yang sangat berbahaya... karena PLC menjadi tidak terkontrol/Ngaco...!

**********************************
In the Symantec demo example = CPU S7-315 2DP (6ES7 315-2AF03-0AB0) + with Digital outputs modul, with simple program = main organization block OB1 with simple code (1 timer and 1 output).
We see that the virus Stuxnet kills the simple control system immediately at startup!
The virus can destroy any control system S7 !?
It does not check the hardware configuration and program.
It starts immediately at startup.
And all that is written about the intelligence of the virus is a lie ?
No one can believe  

To Langner
Not only Russian experts create automation objects in Asian countries.
For example, many Finnish companies operating in the region.

Distribution pattern and mass infection suggests that the virus is spread primarily on the domestic level - from hand to hand (from USB stick to USB stick) and not via the Internet.
How much time is necessary, in order to infect the area alone?
