Stuxnet was surely a weapon, right?



Stuxnet as an entity, was just the method to deliver different payloads right? I'm not exactly convinced if id ever class that as a weapon over a clever hack. I mean, is the ability to read and find holes in code, a weapon?

Was it a weapon or a very clever hacking job that prevented and held back scientists in Iran from creating an actual weapon? Either way, it was peace through superior code and vulnerability finding power

It begs the question though, is the text editor mightier than the sword?
