SCADA Hacking: Attacking SCADA/ICS Systems through the Human Machine Interface (HMI)

Welcome back, my aspiring SCADA/ICS cyberwarriors! Let’s begin by congratulating you on your foresight in committing to study SCADA/ICS hacking and security. This is certainly THE most important security issue this decade! In general, SCADA/ICS hacks have been of two types; Hack the protocols (modbus, DNP3, Profitnet, etc); Hack the Human Machine Interface (HMI) In […]

SCADA Hacking: SCADA/ICS Communication Protocols (Modbus)

SCADA/ICS systems are differentiated from traditional information systems in a number of ways. Probably the most important differentiation are the many communication protocols. Unlike traditional IT systems with their standardized TCP/IP protocols, SCADA/ICS systems are marked by significant variation in their communication protocols.   SCADA/ICS Manufacturers There are numerous SCADA/ICS protocols sometimes different protocols within […]
