In this presentation, Jason Larsen will cover advanced tactics for hacking critical infrastructure. The material is targeted to an audience that already understands how to compromise the embedded systems that run a process and wants to accomplish more than just exercising automatic shutdown logic. Jason will explain how to manipulate the physics of the process itself.
