Securing SCADA systems with open source software
Abstract
Industrial SCADA systems are deployed all across the globe for refineries, water treatment, nuclear power plants, oil fields and process plants. SCADA systems are vulnerable to attacks by hackers which can damage expensive equipment and jeopardize human health and safety in large areas. In this paper, we define SCADA security related issues and discuss the current security tools and techniques. Later, we describe our experiments in configuring SCADA security using open source security software tools available under Linux operating system. A systematic method of securing SCADA systems with such tools is described and the results are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
