👉 The Enables Weapon, also known as the "Enables" or "Enable Command," is a critical feature in the Stuxnet worm, a sophisticated piece of malware discovered in 2010. It allows the malicious software to gain elevated privileges on an infected system, essentially transforming a standard user into an administrator with unrestricted access. This capability is crucial for Stuxnet because it enables the worm to manipulate and control industrial control systems, such as those used in nuclear facilities, by executing commands that can alter hardware settings or disable safety mechanisms. By elevating privileges, Enables Weapon ensures that Stuxnet can perform its destructive tasks without being detected or blocked by standard security measures, making it a powerful tool for targeted cyberattacks.
