Résumé

A realistic and downright scary tale of cyber-terrorism

Zero-Day Exploit: Countdown to Darkness is this season's must read cyber-thriller. From the casinos of Las Vegas to the slums of Manila to FBI Headquarters, the adrenaline never stops pumping as an elite team of security hotshots race to stop Islamic terrorists from crippling the economies of the Western world. Written by some of the world's leading counter-terrorism experts, the story is all the more chilling for its authenticity.

Tagig, The Philippines: Tuesday, October 21st, 5:19 PM, 2003

The challenge for Lualhati was to target only installations in North America. Since the list of IP addresses available for use is broken down by region, Lualhati focused only on ranges allocated to ARIN and other groups known to be associated with the United States, so as to limit impact on any infrastructure in the Islamic world. The pair had developed a relatively clever two-stage attack. Their main target was the petrochemical infrastructure, but they realized that they needed to create a secondary effect that would in some way slow the reaction to the first attack. They settled upon ZFon as the target of choice, given the breadth and criticality of its deployment within the federal law enforcement community. What truly delighted them was the discovery of just how easy it was to break into ZFon's software. It took the excited young men only a week to discern how to root the gateways and develop shellcode that would accomplish their aims. What remained was the scanning, which was already in progress.
