An EMP attack using a nuclear warhead detonated high above the Earth could damage electrical infrastructure across wide areas. Such an attack was first observed when a nuclear test in the South Pacific damaged streetlights in Hawaii over 1,300 km away. While terrorists could potentially launch an EMP attack against the US using a missile, accurately weaponizing a small nuclear bomb and achieving sufficient range would be very difficult. The nation's power grid is also vulnerable to cyber attacks, as evidenced by the Stuxnet virus damaging Iran's nuclear facilities despite being disconnected from the internet. Various solar, cyber, and infrastructure threats could potentially disrupt electricity availability.

Wireless power transmission through solar plate
Wireless electrical transmission involves converting electrical energy to microwaves and beaming it to a satellite, which then beams it back to Earth where it is converted back to electricity. It could provide power to remote areas without wires. The technology was first experimented with in the late 19th century but was further developed by NASA for use in solar-powered satellites. While it has benefits like less power loss than wired transmission and no transmission lines, challenges include high costs, potential safety and interference issues, and legal restrictions governing energy weapons in space.
Earthing and grounding
Earthing, also known as grounding, is based on research that demonstrate that connecting to Earth's electrical energy promotes physical wellbeing. The act of Earthing refers to a physical connection between the electrical frequencies of the human body with that of Earth's (think barefoot in the grass, or at the beach).
Superconductor1
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without resistance below a certain critical temperature, magnetic field, and current density. There are two main types of superconductors - Type I, which exhibits perfect diamagnetism below its transition temperature, and Type II, which partially excludes magnetic fields below two critical field values. Superconductivity was first observed in mercury in 1911. Major developments in the theory of superconductivity were made in the 1950s and applications have since included particle accelerators, generators, transportation, and computing. Common ceramic superconductors with high critical temperatures like YBa2Cu3O7 were discovered in the 1980s.
T he electric circuit term
The document defines several key electrical circuit terms: an open circuit is disconnected, a closed circuit is connected, a short circuit allows current to flow along an unintended path with low impedance, a ground circuit is the reference point from which voltages are measured and provides a path for current to safely return to earth, and the importance of grounding electricity is discussed, including protecting against overloads and surges, helping direct power, stabilizing voltages, using the earth as a good conductor, and preventing damage. Circuit types like series and parallel are also defined.
Safety Precautions Earthing
The document discusses grounding and earthing in electrical systems. It defines grounding as a direct or indirect electrical connection to the earth or a large conductive mass. For practical purposes, the earth's potential is considered zero. Grounded neutral systems are used in modern power distribution systems. They have advantages like easier earth protection, dissipation of over voltages to earth, and less stress on insulation during earth faults. Common earthing methods include pipe earthing, plate earthing and neutral earthing.
Neutral grounding
The document discusses different types of grounding systems for electrical equipment and power systems. It describes equipment grounding as connecting non-current carrying metal parts of electrical devices to earth for safety. System grounding connects parts of the power system like the neutral point to earth. The types of system grounding discussed are ungrounded neutral, solid grounding, resistance grounding, and reactance grounding. Solid grounding directly connects the neutral to earth and provides the easiest fault protection but subjects the system to shocks. Resistance and reactance grounding limit fault currents but are more complex.

Grounding in power system
Grounding in Power System Presentation
The presentation discusses the importance of grounding in power systems for safety, equipment protection, and building protection from lightning strikes. It covers types of grounding including solid grounding, resistance grounding, reactance grounding, and resonant grounding. Measurement instruments and calculation procedures for proper grounding are also reviewed. Lack of proper grounding can cause electric shocks, fires, and equipment damage. IEEE standards provide guidelines for industrial and commercial grounding systems.
Lightening
Lightning is a natural electrical discharge between clouds, the air or the ground. It occurs in three phases: 1) a negative charge descends from the cloud, 2) the positive charge from the ground meets it, and 3) a strong electric spark generates and travels toward the cloud. Lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/sec and contain 30-50 lakhs volts of electricity. It strikes tall objects like trees and buildings due to their proximity to storm clouds. Lightning strikes can damage structures, injure or kill people and animals, and cause fires. Safety measures during storms include sheltering inside, staying away from water and each other, and not using electronic devices.
Electric shock and earthing

The document discusses grounding systems and their importance. It covers three main types of grounding: protective grounding, which protects equipment and personnel from electric shock; signal grounding, which provides a common reference point for electronic circuits; and lightning grounding, which protects systems from lightning strikes. Protective grounding is achieved through grounding electrodes that provide a low impedance path for fault currents. The document outlines factors that influence soil resistivity and techniques for measuring and reducing ground resistance.
Nuclear power
There are currently 61 nuclear power plants operating in the US, containing 99 nuclear reactors. Most plants are located along the east coast, with the highest concentration between New Hampshire and Virginia. Nuclear plant meltdowns can be extremely dangerous, as seen at Fukushima in 2011 where up to 10,000 deaths are estimated from the three meltdowns and radioactive release. Radiation exposure can cause health effects like hair loss, cancer, and birth defects depending on the dose. While nuclear power provides around 19.5% of US electricity, the radioactive waste remains a challenge to store safely for thousands of years and nuclear accidents continue to be a risk that some argue is not worth the benefit of the energy.

It defines equipment grounding as connecting the non-current carrying metal parts of electrical devices to earth for safety. System grounding involves earthing parts of the electrical distribution system, such as the neutral point of a star-connected system. Neutral grounding, a type of system grounding, protects equipment and personnel by connecting the neutral point to earth and allowing fault currents to trip circuit breakers. Common methods of neutral grounding include solid grounding, resistance grounding, and reactance grounding.
Ppt super
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) use the properties of superconductors to limit fault currents on electric distribution and transmission systems. SFCLs maintain near-zero resistance under normal operation but transition to a resistive state during faults to limit excessive currents. Several types have been developed including inductive, resistive, shielded-core, and saturable-core designs. SFCLs allow increased utilization of existing grid equipment and infrastructure by controlling fault currents. They are being pursued by utilities worldwide with commercial devices expected by 2000.
Future Usage of Superconductivity
Increases in performance of superconducting materials, such as higher operating temperatures, stronger magnetic fields, and higher current densities, are enabling new applications of superconductivity.

Docker Online Meetup: Infrakit update and Q&A
While working on Docker for AWS and Azure, we realized the need for a standard way to create and manage infrastructure state that was portable across any type of infrastructure, from different cloud providers to on-prem. One challenge is that each vendor has differentiated IP invested in how they handle certain aspects of their cloud infrastructure. It is not enough to just provision five servers; what IT ops teams need is a simple and consistent way to declare the number of servers, what size they should be, and what sort of base software configuration is required. And in the case of server failures (especially unplanned), that sudden change needs to be reconciled against the desired state to ensure that any required servers are re-provisioned with the necessary configuration. We started InfraKit to solves these problems and to provide the ability to create a self healing infrastructure for distributed systems.

SMDs can induce geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) that threaten power systems, pipelines, communications networks and satellites by damaging transformers and interfering with protective relays. Effective business continuity planning is needed to minimize disruptions from such events, which are assessed using risk analysis and business impact analyses. Regular testing of continuity plans helps reduce risks from these high-impact, low-frequency threats.
Cascade Protection with Transient Voltage copy
The document discusses implementing a cascade protection scheme using transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS) to protect variable speed drives (VSDs) from failures caused by electrical storms at an oil field in Venezuela. It analyzes lightning activity and surge categories in the area and reviews how a three-stage cascade scheme was tested in the lab and is being installed across 60 wells. The goals are to reduce VSD failures, decrease repair costs, and minimize lost oil production. Tests showed the selected TVSS technology provided the lowest residual voltages following surges.
Lightning concepts iii
The document discusses lightning concepts, including:
1. How cloud-to-ground lightning occurs due to charge separation in clouds and the equalization of charge potential between clouds and the earth.
2. The sequence of events in a lightning strike, where stepped leaders from clouds meet upward streamers from the earth's surface to form a discharge path.
3. Conventional lightning protection systems are dependent on a low-impedance ground, but facility grounding systems are often poorly maintained and insufficient, limiting the effectiveness of passive and active protection devices.
4. A new solution is introduced to overcome the shortcomings of conventional systems and provide reliable protection against all forms of lightning damage.
Wireless Power Transmission via solar Satellite
This document provides an overview of solar power satellites and wireless power transmission. It discusses how solar power satellites work by using large satellites in geostationary orbit to collect solar energy and transmit it to large rectifying antennas on Earth via microwave beams. While transmitting power wirelessly eliminates transmission losses, solar power satellites are a more reliable approach than ground-based solar as they are not impacted by weather or nighttime. However, solar power satellites also have significant challenges including their large size, high costs, and potential interference with other satellites.

The Silver Bullet of Cyber Security v1.1
While there is no single solution to prevent cyber attacks, there are basic steps that companies often overlook that leave them vulnerable. These include failing to identify where sensitive data is stored and located, whether backups exist and have been tested, and what would happen if this data was stolen or encrypted. It is important to retain a cybersecurity consultant to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; be proactive by selecting an incident response team before an attack; and continuously test and revise response plans to help secure an organization's critical data and systems.
Common Areas of Data Breach
This document provides guidance on assessing cybersecurity risks and inventorying all hardware, software, and networked devices. It recommends identifying internal and external devices as well as owned and managed systems. Further, it suggests inventorying all items including operating systems, applications, utilities and their lifecycles. The document also stresses having a written data breach response plan that identifies employee roles and conducting regular breach drills. External systems should also be assessed for vulnerabilities and certified by vendors.
Ali
Muhammad Ali met the photographer in Chicago in the 1980s at a hotel they were both staying at. When the photographer told the front desk he wanted to shake "The Champ's" hand, Ali graciously extended his right hand in friendship. The photographer was amazed by the size of Ali's hands, with his index finger alone being over an inch thick and longer than any of the photographer's fingers. Though a giant of a man, Ali gently grasped the photographer's hands with both of his own as the photographer thanked him for the opportunity to meet. The photographer has always remembered this kind meeting and wishes Ali can now rest in peace.
Your Cyber Security Picture - A Starting Point
This document outlines an 8 step process for conducting an initial cyber security assessment of a company: 1) Evaluate the company website and create a computer network diagram, 2) Review existing cyber liability insurance, 3) Provide staff cyber awareness training, 4) Scan for vulnerabilities across all internet connected devices, 5) Generate a vulnerability report and prioritize issues, 6) Test custom software and reports from vendors, 7) Create a vulnerability remediation plan, 8) Develop a cyber security incident response plan including data loss prevention.
One Way Hackers Steal Data From Your Systems
The document outlines the typical steps, known as the "kill chain", that an attacker takes during an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). The kill chain involves 9 steps: 1) reconnaissance of the target, 2) weaponization of exploits, 3) payload delivery, 4) installation of malware, 5) malware contacting a command and control server, 6) lateral movement within the network, 7) expanding compromise to other areas, 8) completing the intended mission such as data exfiltration, and 9) finishing the attack by destroying data and covering tracks. The goal is to stealthily compromise networks and systems over an extended period to acquire sensitive information.
Cyber Security Weakest Links
This document discusses cyber security and lists several aspects that need protection including personnel, hardware, operating systems, applications, utilities, browsers, user identity validation, interfaces and encryption. It asks the reader to identify their weakest link in cyber security.
Cyber Attack Phase Progression
The document outlines the typical 4 phase progression of a cyber attack: 1) disrupt business and prevent access, 2) access credentials and steal data, 3) embed malware on industrial control systems and devices, and 4) directly damage or destroy infrastructure through computer networks or sell stolen information. It notes how cyber attacks have evolved over the decades to cause greater damage and disruption.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

- 2. Copyright © 2016 Global 1 Research & Development, Ltd. All Rights Reserved • Explain the different Attack Vectors relating to the vulnerability of our BES (Basic Electrical Supply) The North American Electric Grid • An Attack Vector is a vulnerability that an adversary exploits to cause harm / inflict damage • DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has defined 16 Critical Economic Sectors. • Our nation has ONE extreme vulnerability – our TOTAL dependence on electric power. Without a constant supply of this commodity, ALL sectors of our economy cease to function.
- 3. Copyright © 2016 Global 1 Research & Development, Ltd. All Rights Reserved • We have (basically) 3 grids that are interconnected: North-Eastern / Mid-West, Texas and Western. (NPCC+RFC+SERC+FRCC+MRO+SPP)= North-Eastern / Mid-West; TRE=Texas; WECC=Western Should the North-Eastern / Mid-West grid section be “Taken-Out”, the Texas and Western Grid Sections will not be able to replace the electric capacity which was supplied by this section. (Map Courtesy NERC) • There are three (3) scenarios that can “Take-Out” the North-Eastern / Mid-West Electric Grid: 2 which are human-caused and 1 that is a natural phenomenon.
- 4. Copyright © 2016 Global 1 Research & Development, Ltd. All Rights Reserved A- Human Caused (ONE): Kinetic Events (traditional attack warfare) has two possible scenarios: a. A large scale coordinated attack with AK-47s employed to destroy the extremely large transformers contained within major electrical distribution sub-stations. These extremely large transformers are vital to the voltage reduction that occurs as a result of the use of high-transmission voltages. They cannot be easily replaced. (WSJ February 6, 2014 Attack On PG&E Metcalf, CA Substation [April 16, 2013]) • Fencing Materials are available to retard the velocity and shred AK-47 projectiles. These need to be erected around all relevant substations. Available at www.BetaFenceUSA.com b. The detonation of a thermonuclear device (TND) at altitude, resulting in the generation of an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) that would “fry” the grid and all electrical / electronic devices in operation at the time of detonation. • This is the primary reason the U.S. Government doesn’t want the PRNK (North Korea) and Iran to have ICBM capabilities. B- Human Caused (TWO): A Cyber Warfare Attack (Grid-Focused) The below three system classes are complex computer control systems in use today in many industries globally, such as manufacturing, energy, water, power generation, etc. Sadly, most of these systems use un-encrypted internet connections for control communications, leaving them highly vulnerable to attack. a. ICS – Industrial Control Systems b. PLC – Programmable Logic Controllers c. SCADA – Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition TOTAL SHINE Study Vulnerable Ports reported by SHODAN in U.S. (616,994) as of 1 Oct. 2014 This attack is complicated to execute but is achievable by our adversaries. NSA Director Admiral Mike Rodgers testified that China and Russia have implanted malware in our grid control systems for years (11/2014 Congressional Testimony). C- Natural Phenomenon: Carrington Effect Level – A Significant CME (Coronal Matter Ejection) (Hyper Sunspot Activity) In brief, this event generates an ionized particle cloud that moves thru space at a speed of approx. 750 miles/second (Original speed of CME was 1,800-2,200 miles/second) and may intersect with Earth’s orbit around the sun. The result of this is an EMP with worse effects than a TND detonation at altitude… Example of a CME CME and Resulting Potential CLE Electrified Ionosphere (Earth) (Illustrations Courtesy NASA)
- 5. Copyright © 2016 Global 1 Research & Development, Ltd. All Rights Reserved The U.S. Government has NASA’s STEREO Probe Satellites in close sun orbit to give us early warning of a Carrington Effect Level CME. This combined with newly created GIC (Geomagnetic Induced Current) Monitors should give us adequate time to respond and prevent major damage to the Extra Large Transformers in our Grid.
