Great Vid...
CG + kinetype + data visualtisation = funking awesome masterpiece !
You managed to do perfect job for a non-apealing subject.
Congratulations men !
Really glad you liked it!
Cheers, Patrick
One for the amazing graphic animations and the second one for the scary info content. Kudos.

but seriously, these types of weapons have expiration dates that decrease with time much faster than the typical definition of a "weapon", which is sadly ignored in this video, for dramatic effect I gather. Further, the nature of exploiting systems with chained exploits also increases the rate of expiration. Hence, the more complex the virus or weapon the faster it will become near useless.
Therefore, the real question is NOT how will it be reprogrammed but will defensive establishments learn how to protect public systems. If we have learned anything over the past few years it is that most large corporations (with a few exceptions) and nearly all governments are behind the curve on the defensive end. One reason is due to management and strategy failures but the other reason that should not be overlooked is the in-ability to retain creative talent due to brand/image issues.
Let me give a couple examples. Everyone should be somewhat aware of the database leaks from Sony of the past few weeks. We could argue for legislation to make such crimes more punishable but this will have little effect. Rather it is the fault of large companies that fail to audit and patch simple vulnerabilities. Or, take for example a remote network debug port spotted in 2006 on the most popular embedded operating system (VxWorks) and it's eventually broad exploitation of last year. If you look at the company and government institutions effected by this bug (over 50) the question should come to mind not of legislation but of negligence: kb.cert.org/vuls/id/362332
Again, discovered and initially published in 2006, broad exploitation in 2011. The company that made this operating system (now owned by Intel) have a very lame response that amounted to "we used nessus on it (network scanner) so we are certified".
So, truth be told we are better off with more public disclosure and development of viruses. Both to spir investment of resources in developing proper defensive strategies and in the long run forcing over all change of image to retain talent that can sustain such strategies. Finally, just as my personal opinion, considering the expiration of such weapons we would all be safer if all weapons were viruses.
Still, nice video.
Ps: dont forget that the disclosure of stuxnet was in-part due to a security firm whom, at the linked behest of the US Department of Justice, developed a strategy to blackmail pro-wikileaks journalists. The result was they were hacked and stuxnet was found on their mail server.
At the center of much of the hacking that concerns us these days is a simple solution: institutions that do a better job of keeping higher standards for internal ethics and justice. Nearly every single event of concern over the past year or so would not have happened if these principles had not eroded.
Very nice video indeed!
