I got the secion on the power grid & SCADA systems online if anyone is interested http://scooby.oranged.to/cyberwar/4_hi.mov Enjoy Kane -----Original Message----- From: Andre Ludwig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 15 August 2003 10:15 AM To: 'KF' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Full-Disclosure] east coast powergrid / SCADA [OT?]   It is my general feeling that the power failure could be SCADA related.  If it was an attack or an accident i do not know, nor do i think the appropriate information will ever be released to the public.  Allot of SCADA systems from my research do RUN MS software (from win95 all the way up to win2000), granted these are not full fledge systems but stripped down machines with some functionality disabled.  I have found out that RPC is used on several SCADA systems, to what extent i do not know, nor do i know if they are vulnerable to the recent rash of RPC based exploits.  If someone with more knowledge on these systems can please come forward i would greatly appreciate it. Did anyone watch the PBS cyber war series that was on months ago?  I remember Richard Clarke ranting about possible SCADA attacks on the power grid. If anyone has more info please do come forward as this is a rather interesting subject matter.

Sorry ... I need to read about something other than blaster before I go insane. =] -KF _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
