The impossible is just what we haven’t done yet.

This light and fun talk (with demos) will examine network “Air Gaps” and other physical based protection schemes for Industrial Control Systems and Critical Infrastructure are considered the best protection available. That is not always the case.

The world’s foremost cordless drill hacker/musician, and host of the totally-safe-for-work “Coke and Strippers” YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrbk0Yr3eCh2N6v-OLlMYmHEs74ui2t_z), will discuss technologies old and new used to jump air gaps, including a brand new example of potentially compromising the technology that has been labeled unhackable, the Data Diode.

Once the impossible has been demonstrated, it becomes easy.
