Italian Hacker Publishes 0day SCADA Hacks

Posted by timothy on from the how-to-turn-on-the-hot-water dept.

mask.of.sanity writes "An Italian security researcher, Luigi Auriemma, has disclosed a laundry list of unpatched vulnerabilities and detailed proof-of-concept exploits that allow hackers to completely compromise major industrial control systems. The attacks work against six SCADA systems, including one manufactured by U.S. giant Rockwell Automation. The researcher published step-by-step exploits that allowed attackers to execute full remote compromises and denial of service attacks. Auriemma appeared unrepentant for the disclosures in a post on his website."

    You cant blame him. If I were Italian I would be trying to find things that are crappier than the Italian economy too.
