Abstract

Stuxnet virus is a first discovered malware to damage nuclear power station in June 2010 and targets only Siemens supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system via vulnerabilities. Through the static reverse and dynamic analysis of Stuxnet malware files, we researched on MS10-046 (CVE-2010-2772) shortcut vulnerability, MS10-061 (CVE-2010-2729) in print spooler service vulnerability and MS10-073 (CVE-2010-2743) keyboard layout elevation of privilege vulnerability. The paper illustrated internal details and the Stuxnet implemented methods.
