Dears,
I am interested in filtering SCADA communications to guarantee safety properties.
Thus I would like to find attacks against SCADA that have happened in the past and that have involved the attacker modifying the contents of communications exchanged between SCADA and PLCs.
However, most of attacks I can find require the attacker uploading a malware that will reprogram the PLCs (e.g.: Stuxnet).
In the kind of attacks I am interested, lets say that the SCADA sends a request to change the temperature of a furnace to 500 degrees, the attacker intercepts the message (in a man-in-the-middle) and modifies it to 5000 degrees.
I heard for example about the Maroochy Shire case in which the attacker was introducing new crafted packets to violate the property.
This example also interests me and I would be curious about the technical details of the attack (e.g.: the communication protocol used, if opening the sewage system was an action the employee was allowed to do in a different context or if he had to break into the network, etc.).
Thanks in advance,
Maxime
Dear Jignesh,
Thanks a lot for your answer, it gives me a lot of reading possibilities :-)
It will help me greatly for writing my thesis.
Best regards,
Maxime
Dear Mr. Puys,
It is not easy to get detailed information about such attachs. besides the internet pages of Prof. Bhatt you may get some information from this paper: A Survey of SCADA and Critical Infrastructure Incidents Bill Miller Brigham Young University Information Technology Program Provo, Utah +1 (801) 422 1985 [email protected] Dale C.
