Adventures in SCADA

Published: April 30, 2011, 7 a.m.

Sergey Bratus of Dartmouth and Edmond Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, both affiliated with the Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG, http://tcipg.org) project, spoke at TROOPERS 2011 (http://troopers.de), an IT Security conference held in Heidelberg, Germany on April 30, 2011. They described what a real-world large power company's SCADA/control network looks like, what it takes to fuzz-test real-world SCADA equipment, and why such testing is useful to the asset owners and operators now and even more so in the future.
