Open Source Tool Scans For Duqu Drivers

Posted by timothy on from the my-system-is-duqu-free dept.

wiredmikey writes "A new open source scanning tool has been released by engineers at independent security testing firm NSS Labs that can be used to detect Duqu drivers installed on a system. The tool was developed with the goal of discovering any additional drivers, and to enable researchers to learn more about the functionality, capabilities and ultimate purpose of the Duqu malware."

    I like the effort, and appreciate the tool, but how many windows users have python installed? ;>

    You idiot. This has nothing to do with stuxnet. Yes, it's very similar in how it works, but it serves a completely different purpose. Duqu isn't targeting Iran or any industrial/commercial automation and control systems. I determined this information from 10 seconds of research through wikipedia. Seriously, look stuff up before blindly commenting on it.

    until they decide to use the technology on us. Then it will be bad. At least we don't have to worry about them assassinating a US citizen right?
