Fuzzing

Dale has a good post up on Achilles which was Eric's project with help from an oil company before he founded Byres Security.

I would describe Achilles as a fuzzer for SCADA and DCS systems.

There was an effort (well thought really) to build Achilles testing into SP99 that Jay White at Chevron, and a couple of other oil industry guys were thinking of chasing shortly after the first SANS scada conference. I am not sure where it went. If I remember right Michael at INL and Ray and Sandia were also in that conversation briefly.

A standardized way to approach the process would be good for all ACS using industries.

This post at Computerdefense covers quite a few fuzzers not related specifically to SCADA.

Update:

If you get a chance please visit the home page and mention it on lists or your own blog if you like it. This is a realitivly new blog and I am trying to spread the word.
