Who were they targeting?
What exactly were they doing to that target and how?
But he didn't make much progress until earlier this year for a very this year reason.
JAGS sent a colleague to oversee these AI tests.
That colleague was Vitaly Kamluk, a Belarusian cybersecurity researcher who also has a fauxhawk.
He lives in Singapore and, according to JAGS, is very zen-like.
This, of course, is Vitaly Kamluk, reverse engineering legend.
Vitaly explained they're from the same era, the mid-2000s, and even though they don't share any code, they seem to share similar architecture.
But Vitaly couldn't figure out what exactly Fast16's mission was, only that it targeted the part of a computer that did complex math.
Jags says he's never seen malware that messed with high-precision math.
Most spy malware is designed to steal data or, like in Stuxnet, make things go haywire.
But this one was basically telling the computer 2 plus 2 equals 5.
After the break.
Jags puts all the pieces together.
So Jags and Vitaly, still separated by a 12-hour time difference, set out to answer their next question.
Whose math was Fast16 designed to target?
For Vitaly, the idea that someone was targeting calculations that were supposed to keep us safe was incredibly disturbing.
In other words, this documentation from the Institute of Science and International Security seemed to suggest that the software FAST-16 was supposed to mess with was being used by Iranian nuclear scientists to maybe design nuclear bombs.
What would changing the math in this software achieve?
To solve that part of the puzzle, they had to get their hands on that software the Iranian scientists were using.
