      What? It only takes time and effort and a few hundred million dollars of non-tampered machinery.

        You need a reasonably capable semiconductor industry or partnership with somebody that has one.

        I do think Iran has both of those, but I’m not an expert. Anyway, they had a major setback once because they were relying on electronics trafficked from Germany.

          That’s not how stuxnet works. I’m not a tanky by any means. I’m an American and we had to hire a swedish operative to infiltrate their closed Gap systems and insert a rubber ducky. The problem wasn’t that the machinery came from Germany. The problem was we paid off a swedish guy to rape the software.

            Do you think Chinese military ADCs are vulnerable to Windows 0-day attacks?

            People would have a much harder time if Iran had a proper sourcing of their equipment.

              You realize there are several root escalation zero day exploits for all versions of the Linux kernal from that time period right?
