Smoking Gun, Stuxnet architect.

Smoking Gun, Stuxnet architect.

If malware can be Art,

Stuxnet be its name.

Is one of the possible architects of Stuxnet, US Gov. Uber hacker #JohnBumgarner ?

Paradigm Intel has suggested that the United States was the author
of Stuxnet {malware} that destroyed the gas centrifuges at Iran's
Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.
To date no real evidence has been presented that links the US to
Stuxnet.   Our BSU's have finally uncovered a creditable link.
BSU's discovered an obscure article in public documents written by
John Bumgarner, Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Cyber
Consequences Unit.

http://www.usccu.us/    

For some unexplained reason all the major news agencies missed this source in all their research into Stuxnet.

It seems that the article was written primarily for an “information
operations (a.k.a. computer network attack)” audience {very
interesting}.   Within the article he discusses launching a ‘covert
cyber strike’ against a nation that has violated internationaltreaties for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons {Iran?}

He goes on to discuss the most likely target for such a covert
cyber attack.  His target was the “gas centrifuges” used for uranium enrichment
{ thats what Stuxnet targeted?}.    Have you ever wonder
how you might destroy a gas centrifuge with a cyber attack?  John outlines the attack technique within his article.  He states that by manipulating the rotationally frequency of the centrifuges you can cause a “catastrophic failure” of these
delicate devices. Same as Symantec stated stuxnet
did in their blog posting on November 12, 2010?

http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/stuxnet-breakthrough

Ralph Langner state at the TED conference in March that his
stuxnet analysis uncovered the same thing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS01Hmjv1pQ

John’s article was published months before Symantec’s revelation or
Langner’s proclamation about stuxnet’s target and attack method!!
His article was also published months before the Belarusian
antivirus company discovered stuxnet!!

Some possible Paradigms:

Could he be one of the architects of Stuxnet?

Did he have insider knowledge of the pending attack {US government
conspiracy}?

Did he just make an educated guess about the exact target and the
exact attack technique?

I assume that there were lots of black ops people {intelligence,
military} that knew what the target and attack technique would be
in an “Iranian cyber attack scenario.”

But, no matter in our eyes John is the definitive Uber Hacker.


Our First lead, the Chinese translation the article:
http://knowfar.org.cn/html/version/201010/10/2830.htm

So does John’s article prove that Stuxnet was a creation of the
United States {NSA}.  Maybe or maybe not, but it does make for a
compelling argument that the US had forehand knowledge of a pending
attack against Iran’s nuclear systems, but so did Israel and some
have even speculated that even the Chinese may have written
Stuxnet.

Although the evidence is not conclusive the United States does
looks to be the designer of the worlds first Uber Worm, rootkit,
with artificial Intelligence, and a self-defense mode. (another
attack technique that John has written about)

John’s article also talks about embedding malicious code into
Russia’s main battle tank the T-95.    Is there more to this attack
scenario to come……

We also uncovered another paper John wrote back in 2005, which
suggests that more technologically advance and stealthier cyber
attacks are coming.  The paper highlights at least 12 techniques!!
Some of those techniques include how cyber attackers need to become
more targeted in their efforts {check}, that malware would need to
employed self-defense capabilities {check – but not to the level
that he outlines}, that malware needs to self-aware capabilities
{nope}.  He even talks about a “sleeper worm” that uses advance
techniques to hide covertly until it is instructed to spring into
action.

We also found that John recently gave a lecture in London on how to

develop better cyber weapons!!  More on that later…….

I think John is the closes we have come to one of the double super
secret uber hackers that I've written about.  John is definitely
one of the USA's preeminent Hacker.

Rara Avis.

John Bumgarner is a celebrated “über-hacker” with 18 years of service in Special Operations and intelligence. His private sector certifications include CISSP, GIAC (Gold), and duel Masters degrees in Information Systems Management and Security Management. And we have connected him to the CIA and NSA.

Our sources indicate Iran is still 'raslin' with

Stuxnet.
