nullcon 2011 - Exploiting SCADA Systems
Download as PPT, PDF0 likes2,488 views
The document discusses vulnerabilities in SCADA systems and software. As SCADA systems become more connected and integrated with modern software and mobile apps, the number of potential attack vectors has increased. Many existing SCADA systems were not built with security as a priority, do not receive regular patches, and contain vulnerabilities like hard-coded credentials. The document warns that SCADA systems are attractive targets and recommends that vendors implement stronger security practices and that customers evaluate security before purchasing systems.

This is the wrong way to view security. If this is what some people in the industry believe, it is no wonder why so many vulnerabilities still exist...

Often time consuming and irritating actually. Literally be prepared to spend a lot of time chasing possibilities that aren't there. Just to, in the end, when you end up with another denial of service bug, wondering why you're still inside when its 8 in the evening. Maybe I should have listened to Dad and became a doctor, or a lawyer. Not only in SCADA protocols, but others too!
