Exploiting and Attacking Seismological Networks Remotely

Explore a step-by-step demonstration of how a remote attacker could exploit vulnerabilities in a production seismological network located 183 meters under the sea. Learn about three methods to compromise seismographs, including attacks on the modem, sensor, and Apollo server components. Discover how these vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation and remote control of critical infrastructure. Examine the potential for corrupting and modifying seismological research data in real-time. Gain insights into best practices and recommendations for securing seismological networks against such attacks. This conference talk, presented by James Jara, founder and CTO of NETDB.IO, offers valuable information for cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and those interested in protecting critical infrastructure.
