Access to a control network does not itself constitute an attack. Somehow this important fact is often omitted from public documentation. Cédric Lévy-Bencheton will address an attacker’s challenges in designing disruptive assaults on physical infrastructure or operations. This talk draws from Lévy-Bencheton’s extensive experience in offensive cyber-physical security, and covers the complete process of designing and performing a successful attack:
- Infrastructure and process reconnaissance (passive and active)
- Engineering attack scenarios
- Types and complexities of cyber-physical attacks
- Unique attack vectors
- Execution of the attack
