Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon is the story of how a computer virus made it from computers in a few laboratories in Iran, to launching an attack on a water plant in Egypt. The book goes into depth about how the digital weapon, Stuxnet, was produced, who is behind it and what happened when it went haywire.

This book explores what might be called the digital dark age. It's about a computer worm named Stuxnet that escaped from its creators, the government of Iran and Israel, in 2010.

In 2010, Stuxnet was unleashed on the world. It was a computer worm that targeted Iran's nuclear facilities. Kim Zetter's book Countdown to Zero Day: The Secret Story of Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon chronicles how this all-but-forgotten worm came to be and the aftermath it left in its wake.

On June 14, 2010, a digital weapon was unleashed on the Internet that would go on to unravel the world's most sophisticated cyber-intelligence operation in history. The Stuxnet worm was designed to infect industrial systems and cause them to malfunction simultaneously by taking advantage of what experts call "zero day vulnerabilities" in Windows systems. The target of this cyberattack was not any specific person or country but rather computer systems at nuclear facilities around the globe.

Kim Zetter's Doomsday Countdown chronicles the discovery, espionage, development and deployment of the world's first digital weapon, Stuxnet. This groundbreaking book unveils the true story behind one of the most successful cyber-attacks in history.

Now, for the first time, this groundbreaking book tells how Stuxnet came about—from its creators in the U.S. government, through its secret development and deployment, to its eventual discovery by a group of German researchers who made it their mission to unravel its mystery.
