Countdown to Zero Day (Zetter, 2014)
loresecurityops culture
Kim Zetter's reconstruction of Stuxnet: how a worm carrying four zero-days crossed an air gap into Natanz, spun Iranian centrifuges to destruction while replaying recorded normal readings to the operators, and was found only because it escaped into the wild.
The book is the field's standard account of the first cyberweapon to cause physical damage, and of the analysis - largely by antivirus researchers in Belarus, Russia and Germany - that reverse-engineered a nation-state operation from a sample. It is also the clearest telling of the argument the incident opened and never closed: once a state builds and loses control of such a tool, everyone lives in the blast radius.
