Radio Killed the Radio Stars: Security Analysis of RF Protocols for Industrial Applications

Rf , Embedded , Reverse engineering

After having analyzed the several RF protocols for industrial applications, distributed by global vendors, we discovered that none of them had sufficient security features to prevent an attacker from hijacking the communication and manoeuvre the controlled connected machines.

From a Bit-flipping to a Vulnerability in the CAN Standard

Embedded , Automotive , Security

CAN-based protocols are vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks at the link layer. In this collaborative research, Politecnico di Milano’s NECSTLab and Trend Micro’s FTR analyze the protocol in depth and demonstrate the vulnerability on a real car, with PoC and so on.

The Role of Industrial Routers in Keeping the Future Factory Secure

Embedded , Industrial , Security

Industrial routers play a very crucial role: a single vulnerability can grant the attacker access to an entire network of critical machines. In this research, I’ve looked at how easy it is for a hypothetical attacker to find and enumerate industrial routers, and the security posture of their vendors.
