Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
New and important evidence found in the sophisticated “Stuxnet” malware targeting industrial control systems provides strong hints that the code was designed to sabotage nuclear plants, and that it employs a subtle sabotage strategy that involves briefly speeding up and slowing down physical machinery at a plant over a span of weeks.

“It indicates that [Stuxnet's creators] wanted to get on the system and not be discovered and stay there for a long time and change the process subtly, but not break it,” says Liam O Murchu, researcher with Symantec Security Response, which published the new information in an updated paper (.pdf) on Friday.

The Stuxnet worm was discovered in June in Iran, and has infected more than 100,000 computer systems worldwide. At first blush it appeared to be a standard, if unusually sophisticated, Windows virus designed to steal data, but experts quickly determined it contained targeted code designed to attack Siemens Simatic WinCC SCADA systems. SCADA systems, short for “supervisory control and data acquisition,” are control systems that manage pipelines, nuclear plants, and various utility and manufacturing equipment.

Researchers determined that Stuxnet was designed to intercept commands sent from the SCADA system to control a certain function at a facility, but until Symantec’s latest research it was not known what function was being targeted for sabotage. Symantec still has not determined what specific facility or type of facility Stuxnet targeted, but the new information lends weight to speculation that Stuxnet was targeting the Bushehr or Natanz nuclear facilities in Iran as a means to sabotage Iran’s nascent nuclear program.

According to Symantec, Stuxnet targets specific frequency converter drives — power supplies that are used to control the speed of a device, such as a motor. The malware intercepts commands sent to the drives from the Siemens SCADA software, and replaces them with malicious commands to control the speed of a device, varying it wildly, but intermittently.

The malware, however, doesn’t just sabotage any frequency converter. It inventories a plant’s network and only springs to life if the plant has at least 33 frequency converter drives made by Fararo Paya in Teheran, Iran, or by the Finland-based Vacon.

Even more specifically, Stuxnet targets only frequency drives from these two companies that are running at high speeds – between 807Hz and 1210Hz. Such high speeds are used only for select applications. Symantec is careful not to say definitively that Stuxnet was targeting a nuclear facility, but notes that “frequency converter drives that output over 600Hz are regulated for export in the United States by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as they can be used for uranium enrichment.”

Top News of the Day:
Nov 15, 2010: The high speed winds rolled in on Sunday, with no strong evidence for any of last week’s CMEs. The caution against any significant activity held true, as the Earth’s geomagnetic field has barely registered any impacts, even from the high speed wind. The high winds are expected to persist for another day or so. There was an additional CME on Saturday that resulted from a filament eruption early in the day, and which is currently forecast to arrive on Thursday Nov 18.
[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]


The A and K indices are a measurement of the behavior of the magnetic field in and around the earth. The K index uses a scale from 0 to 9 to measure the change in the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field. A new K index is determined and added to the broadcast every 3 hours based on magnetometer measurements made at the Table Mountain Observatory, north of Boulder, Colorado, or an alternate middle latitude observatory. The A index is a daily value on a scale from 0 to 400 to express the range of disturbance of the geomagnetic field. It is obtained by converting and averaging the eight, 3-hour K index values. An estimate of the A index is first announced at 2100 UTC, based on 7 measurements and 1 estimated value. At 0000 UTC, the announced A index consists entirely of known measurements, and the word "estimated" is dropped from the announcement.

Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
Did oil mining cause Haiti's earthquake? The connection between oil production and earthquakes dates back to at least the 1920s, when geologists in South Texas noted faulting near the Goose Creek oil field.

[link to open.salon.com]

The above article got me to thinking. Considering the size of the field in the GoM I suspect that this situation is only on hold. Greed will have them back at it as soon as possible if not already. It is a frail region geologically and from what I understand the area of the reservoir extends from under southern USA to Ecuador, it contains massive methane pockets estimated to be at 100,000 psi as its pressurised by volcanic activity.

So they keep sticking holes in it and hope nothing happens. Good plan. I could see an event triggered there allowing the great lakes to empty into the GoM which would perhaps flush out the "spilled" oil. :-Mud

Glad you have travelled safely if not in as much comfort as could be desired.

Sad as it is I will say this in defence of the German people, they failed as we all failed to identify the true enemy. I do not hold a nation for the misdeeds of an elite that cares nothing for the people and have already agreed to the outcomes before the game begins.

Good people died while the truly guilty lied and hid. Soon, those with this blood guilt will feel the strength of the karma that is their due. :- Mud

Good points Mud. Now we go back to happier subjects?
I have a bad habit of discussing that which should not be discussed.

Just got a strange message about "You've gone incognito" WTF?

Did oil mining cause Haiti's earthquake? The connection between oil production and earthquakes dates back to at least the 1920s, when geologists in South Texas noted faulting near the Goose Creek oil field.

The above article got me to thinking. Considering the size of the field in the GoM I suspect that this situation is only on hold. Greed will have them back at it as soon as possible if not already. It is a frail region geologically and from what I understand the area of the reservoir extends from under southern USA to Ecuador, it contains massive methane pockets estimated to be at 100,000 psi as its pressurised by volcanic activity.

So they keep sticking holes in it and hope nothing happens. Good plan. I could see an event triggered there allowing the great lakes to empty into the GoM which would perhaps flush out the "spilled" oil. :-Mud

It must be a conspiracy to be rid of the entire eastern US.

This is what they are doing to my back yard:

This explains more in detail just what they do:

I use to think we might end up being lake front property, but it looks like we'll end up in the GOM too when the earth gives away and the Great Lakes flood through.

edit to say, it makes sense to me... and bold what I replied to.
