#1693763: Heads Up - How DEF CON hacking villages help to save the planet
| Description: |
In this episode, Hiding Vulns Sinks All Ships, special guest Duncan Woodbury (executive director of the forthcoming Maritime Hacking Village at DEF CON 33) explains the history and the significance of the “hacking village” concept, where experts live-hack on everything from cars and medical devices to spacecraft and voting machines... ...and now, for the first time, maritime systems: Up for hacking will be: → A narco-sub captured by the US Coastguard. → Autonomous vessels (sea drones, basically). → An automated crane system loaned by one of the Western hemisphere’s largest ports. /* If you’ve never seen a modern port in operation, the crane systems they use these days are essentially pick-and-place robots that deal not with laying out gearbox parts or packaging fruit selections, but with a veritable mega-jenga-world of full-size shipping containers that are shuttled between trains, trucks, bonded storage, and supply ships. An attacker who wrangles control of an automated container crane could mount a supply chain attack of a whole new sort. */ |
