Code Red is not ICS specific malware; it was a famous worm that targeted computers running Microsoft's IIS web server. Unlike Flame, Havex, and Stuxnet, which were specifically designed to target industrial control systems or perform espionage related to ICS environments, Code Red was aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in internet-facing software to perform denial-of-service attacks and other malicious activities.

CERT Coordination Center, 'Code Red Worm Exploiting Buffer Overflow In IIS Indexing Service DLL'.

Totally agree, Code Red is more about web servers!

Really? I didn't know Code Red was in this mix.

Flame is also not ICS specific, right?

I thought Stuxnet was the only one targeting ICS?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think Flame was the odd one out, but I could be wrong.

Stuxnet is definitely ICS specific, but I can't recall if Ha vex fits that category or not.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Code Red was more about web servers and not ICS systems.

I think I remember Flame being more about espionage rather than targeting ICS specifically.

I'm feeling pretty confident on this. Based on what we've covered in class, Code Red is the only option that is not ICS-specific. The others are all designed to target industrial control systems.

I've got this! Code Red is a general web server worm, not specifically targeting industrial control systems. That's the one that doesn't fit.

Okay, let's see. Flame, Havex, and Stuxnet all seem like they could be ICS-specific, but I'm not sure about Code Red. I'll have to review my notes on that one.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the characteristics of ICS-specific malware to figure this out.

I'm a little unsure about this one. Can someone remind me the key differences between ICS-specific malware and other types? That might help me narrow it down.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the DDL Security module would be the best option to prevent an attacker from loading dynamic libraries from an unsecure location on macOS.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Would deploying the website as separate services on App Engine (option B) be a better approach? That way we could manage each design independently.

It seems like we worked on a similar question about UI components last week. Was the answer 'pubspec.yaml'? That's what I'm leaning towards.

None of these options feel right, but Elastic Compute Unit seems closest based on what I practiced.
