  1. 🏭 USB over IP for Industrial Automation and PLC Programming

    Industrial automation teams often rely on USB PLC programmers, USB-to-Serial adapters, and FTDI devices that are locked to specific sites. USB over IP removes this limitation by enabling secure remote access for PLC programming, diagnostics, firmware updates, and maintenance.

  2. I'm pleased to announce our new paper has been published! This work discusses a technique, and subsequently presents a proof of concept, for scanning for vulnerabilities within PLC control logic. As I've mentioned through numerous talks and work recently, traditional enterprise focused reconnaissance, enumeration, and vulnerability scanning techniques are inadequate against OT and provide very little information on OT-specific vulnerabilities. This tool goes further than typical network scanning to understand where the control logic itself may have vulnerabilities. Read the paper here:

    We hope this work is just the first step in tooling to improve the state of in-PLC vulnerabilities and PLC programming practices, greatly reducing the exploitability of OT moving forward.
