How do you want me to give you the credit you're due?

[micrictor]

Hi!

Many, many years ago, when you hosted this in Google Code(?) and I was a teenager with little-to-no understanding of reverse engineering and how to properly give you credit, I pulled it down and re-uploaded it to github under my profile, where it still lives today. (https://github.com/micrictor/stuxnet)

What do you want me to change the readme to, to make it clear that there's vanishingly little of my own effort in the repo, and real credit should come here? There's a nonzero amount of stuff that links to it that I don't want to turn into dead links, but I also want it to be clear that the credit should go to you.

I can't thank you enough for tolerating my misguided rip - mapping the decompiled source code to threat intelligence reports on how Stuxnet worked sparked my interest in information security.

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to raise this issue. It truly warms my heart to see that my work has inspired someone to explore the world of information security. It's an exciting field, and I wish I could clone myself to delve even deeper into it. Your message here has made my day.

Regarding how to handle the decompiled source code, the best approach to avoid recreating the repository as a fork, and losing all the other users' forks and stars in the process, would be to simply update the README with clear and informative details and credits.
