Countdown to Zero Day : Stuxnet and the launch of the world's first digital weapon / by Zetter, Kim.(CARDINAL)657659;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Top cybersecurity journalist Kim Zetter tells the story behind the virus that sabotaged Iran's nuclear efforts and shows how its existence has ushered in a new age of warfare--one in which a digital attack can have the same destructive capability as a megaton bomb. In January 2010, inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency noticed that centrifuges at an Iranian uranium enrichment plant were failing at an unprecedented rate. The cause was a complete mystery--apparently as much to the technicians replacing the centrifuges as to the inspectors observing them. Then, five months later, a seemingly unrelated event occurred: A computer security firm in Belarus was called in to troubleshoot some computers in Iran that were crashing and rebooting repeatedly. At first, the firm's programmers believed the malicious code on the machines was a simple, routine piece of malware. But as they and other experts around the world investigated, they discovered a mysterious virus of unparalleled complexity. They had, they soon learned, stumbled upon the world's first digital weapon. For Stuxnet, as it came to be known, was unlike any other virus or worm built before: Rather than simply hijacking targeted computers or stealing information from them, it escaped the digital realm to wreak actual, physical destruction on a nuclear facility. In these pages, Wired journalist Kim Zetter draws on her extensive sources and expertise to tell the story behind Stuxnet's planning, execution, and discovery, covering its genesis in the corridors of Bush's White House and its unleashing on systems in Iran--and telling the spectacular, unlikely tale of the security geeks who managed to unravel a sabotage campaign years in the making. But Countdown to Zero Day ranges far beyond Stuxnet itself. Here, Zetter shows us how digital warfare developed in the US. She takes us inside today's flourishing zero-day "grey markets," in which intelligence agencies and militaries pay huge sums for the malicious code they need to carry out infiltrations and attacks. She reveals just how vulnerable many of our own critical systems are to Stuxnet-like strikes, from nation-state adversaries and anonymous hackers alike--and shows us just what might happen should our infrastructure be targeted by such an attack. Propelled by Zetter's unique knowledge and access, and filled with eye-opening explanations of the technologies involved, Countdown to Zero Day is a comprehensive and prescient portrait of a world at the edge of a new kind of war. "--"This story of the virus that destroyed Iran's nuclear centrifuges, by top cybersecurity journalist Kim Zetter, shows that the door has been opened on a new age of warfare--one in which a digital attack can have the same destructive capability as a megaton bomb dropped from an airplane"--

A grey moon over China / by Day, Thomas A.(CARDINAL)739933;

By 2017, a firestorm of wars over control of the Earth's dwindling energy supplies engulfs most of the world. Platoon leader and former street orphan Eduardo Torres receives orders to turn a Pacific island into an emergency landing strip. The mission turns into a fiasco but Torres encounters a strange old man whose powerful computer program holds the design for a quantum energy battery. Torres consults his colleagues Sergeant Polaski and MI (manufactured intelligence) expert Katherine Chan. In exchange for the batteries, they demand a revival of the suspended space colonization program. An already-completed hyperspace wormhole leads to star-system Holzstein, which is known to have planets. Paranoid MI whiz Anne Miller constructs a fleet of MI drones to explore Holzstein and another promising system beyond a second wormhole, since, despite the batteries, Earth is dying. Once the colony fleet passes through into Holzstein, some groups attempt to grab the habitable planets Asile and Boar River, while another blockades the second wormhole after having sent ships through to explore the Earth-like planet Serenitas. Torres and his allies, seemingly unable to control the increasingly single-minded and ruthless Polaski and forced to police the numerous conflicts, establish a military base on a frigid, high-gravity planet and wait for the Serenitas drones to report back. Years pass without result. Finally, Torres sneaks another probe through the wormhole; it discovers that the original drones have been destroyed, along with the ships that went through after them. Worse, the system contains an alien fleet, which promptly follows them back to Holzsteinaliens powerful enough to destroy everyone.
