An anonymous security researcher has reconstructed and released a reverse-engineered version of Stuxnet's source code on GitHub, complete with build instructions. Stuxnet was the malware that sabotaged centrifuges at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility by targeting Siemens industrial controllers while masking the damage from plant operators.

A security researcher has released a reverse-engineered reconstruction of Stuxnet, the 2010 worm that sabotaged Siemens industrial control systems used in Iran's uranium enrichment program. The repository rebuilds the malware's loader, privilege-escalation exploit, rootkit drivers, and PLC-tampering payload from previously decompiled binaries, organized for study rather than deployment. Its author frames the project as educational, aimed at malware analysts and defenders rather than as usable attack code.
