Shodan Search Engine Project Enumerates Internet-Facing Critical
Infrastructure Devices

http://j.mp/U8FDxb  (Threatpost)

    Radvanovsky and Brodsky said they built a suite of scripts that
    includes 600 search terms for equipment built and managed by close
    to seven dozen manufacturers of SCADA equipment and support
    systems for SCADA. The pair found not only devices used for
    critical infrastructure such as energy, water and other utilities,
    but also SCADA devices for HVAC systems, building automation
    control systems, large mining trucks, traffic control systems,
    red-light cameras and even crematoriums. They initially approached
    DHS with a list of close to 500,000 devices; DHS helped pare the
    list down to search terms for 50 critical systems it believed were
    relevant. That eventually shrunk the list of devices to 7,200.

SCADA security is one of the real areas of concern, unlike many of the
trumped-up scare tactics that the cyberfear-security complex pushes.
