The mystery of Duqu Framework solved
The Quest for Identification In my previous blogpost about the Duqu Framework, I described one of the biggest remaining mysteries about Duqu – the oddities of the C&C communications module which appears to have been written in a different language than the rest of the Duqu code.

Using which language?HTMLJavascriptJavaPythonC++COther - which?[It turned out the students ha...
