Physically Hacking SCADA — Cyber-Physical Attack Chains

Research on cyber-physical attack chains against SCADA systems, demonstrating how digital compromises produce physical-layer effects.

Research on cyber-physical attack chains against SCADA systems — covered by The Register in 2018 — demonstrating how compromises in the digital control plane translate into measurable physical-layer effects in industrial environments. Part of the broader cyber-physical research arc that culminated in the DefCon ICS Killswitch presentations.
