I found a link to this PDF via Bruce Schneier's Crytogram
<http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram.html>  newsletter. The 'Stuxnet
Architecture' section of the document describes how the malware using a
staggering variety of advanced techniques to load, conceal and propagate.
It's fascinating reading for Windows developers.

 

I always wondered what would happen if professionals decided to write a
virus ... and now I think we have. Although, in this case it's more than
just clever code, there is some espionage involved as well.

 

In the summary the author says "Stuxnet is the type of threat we hope to
never see again".
