We are used to working with digital systems, but the world around us is analog. Digital devices use tools to transform data from analog to digital (the most simple one is an analog-digital converter) to deliver some intended impact on something in the world, or on the contrary, to gather information about it. Various AD converters interpret analog signals differently with certain features, even if they are connected to the same line. This may lead to a false perception of the state of a system managing a process or incorrect data in the sensor output, which also affects the process. This presentation will cover various tools and methods for impacting the analog-to-digital transformation, which enables us to attack SCADA and other systems.
