'''Flame''' ''(a.k.a. Flamer, sKyWIper, and Skywiper)'' is a highly sophisticated piece of [[malware]] which targeted computer systems in several countries, including [[Iran]].<ref>http://www.kaspersky.com/flame</ref> It is believed to have been created by the same group responsible for [[Stuxnet]] and [[DuQu]]<ref name="wired">http://www.wired.com/2012/05/flame</ref>
==Exploit Details==
Flame is an attack toolkit which places a Trojan, on the target [[computer]], then spreads like a [[Computer worm|worm]] through the [[Local area network|local network]] ([[LAN]]). [[Kaspersky]] Flame can "sniff" network activity, record audio, take screenshots (images of the computer's display), record keystrokes and even detect Bluetooth devices within range and retrieve information about them. If any further function is desired, the operators of Flame can upload add-on modules to the infected device, as well.<ref>http://www.cnet.com/news/behind-the-flame-malware-spying-on-mideast-computers-faq</ref>
==History==
Similar to [[Stuxnet]], Flame seems to have been designed as an attach on [[Iran]]'s nuclear project. Its peak efficiency was in the range of 2009-2010, when it first was released.<ref name="wired">http://www.wired.com/2012/05/flame</ref>
