[CB20] Pwning OT: Going in Through the Eyes by Ta-Lun YenCODE BLUE
Two years after the release of our paper regarding SCADA HMI security , SCADA systems are still a challenge to secure. This is not only due to their rigid connection requirements (hence "control and data acquisition"), but also the burden of needing to interface with legacy systems. Such legacy systems are so foundational to OT configurations that SCADA systems are frequently difficult to modernize. As a result of recent stories in the media, the potential devastation of a successful SCADA attack is well-known. As adversaries only have to successfully penetrate through one of many potential weaknesses in a system, these potential weaknesses and attack surfaces must be carefully considered and safeguarded.
HMIs are a common target, since they're usually installed in a configuration that enables connection to both the OT network and the Internet (or Intranet), meaning they can easily be made to function as a sort of gateway. This runs contrary to the common assumption that HMIs should only be installed in an air-gapped or otherwise isolated configuration.
Despite a lack of public information regarding OT network infiltration via HMI, our research reveals that HMIs are frequently a soft and easily accessible vector for attacks. In a large percentage of OT setups, the consequences of HMI compromise could be disastrous -- allowing theft of operational information, property damage, and the creation of a foothold for infiltrating the infrastructure.
In the past, vendors have been able to assume that older technology would support stable operation and that they could rely on 'security through obscurity'. In recent investigations we found that in some devices, "security" is merely an illusion created by limited and inconsistent data of the legacy systems which are still used actively today. In this submission, we introduce our in-progress research regarding security in HMI devices, and show how we totally pwn one such device. The research presented here shows only a small amount of the insecurities that we've uncovered.

Offensive cyber security: Smashing the stack with PythonMalachi Jones
: A necessary step in writing secure code is having an understanding of how vulnerable code can be exploited. This step is critical because unless you see the software from the vantage point of a hacker, what may look to be safe and harmless code, can have multiple vulnerabilities that result in systems running that software getting p0wned. The goal of this tech talk is to provide a step-by-step illustration of how not adhering to secure software design principles such as properly bounds checking buffers can open up computing devices to exploitation. Specifically, we will show that by using a very easy to use scripting language like python, we can do the following: 1) Smash the stack of a system running vulnerable code to gain arbitrary access. 2) Install a key logger that can phone home to a command and control server.
eSmartlock - an antipiracy dongle with integrated DRM functionalitiesYiannis Hatzopoulos
eSmartlock is a complex prototype, which demonstrates the use of a Java Card based smartcard dongle as an integrated anti-piracy module and networked DRM engine; plus offering a hardware toolkit that can enhance the security of SSL backed transactions; authenticate timeStamp receptors; function
as a digital eSignature validator over commercial off-the-shelf software products - all in one: Forming an
integrated system that allows users of an application to operate in a closed-user-group setting with their
software producer or vendor; either online or even off-line.
Why? Apart from antipiracy security, the eSmartLock networked DRM model supports a diverse variety
of billing options like: leasing, renting, TimeCrediting, pay-as-you-use ValueCrediting, remote feature unlock, full
feature demo use. It can provide controlled crypto Web access to your eShop; or even secure CD/DVD offline
content access. For high-security conscious users, eSmartLock can encrypt local file Save/Load operations
with internal self-generated keySets; uniquely binding saved data to a specific eSmartLock card. It can be used
in a Server - Client configuration (Trusted Third Party – Key Distribution Center), over a LAN or WAN (extranet)
to authenticate other eSmartLock cards, establish encryption channels between eSmartLocked network nodes
and assist the verification of signed content – all in a single JavaCard applet.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
