Hacking The Electric Grid? You And What Army?

Hacking The Electric Grid? You And What Army?

Imagine that the hijackers had intended to attack the United States. What should be done to gather sufficient information to extract the energy in some key areas of the country? They do not want to fiddle around the edges, mind you. Want to have sufficient data to develop the skills necessary to close the lights in Washington or New York or California, just in time for the duration of what they want.


Unplug!. Thus, power and power systems must operate. If you are a BSG you know that Admiral Adama despised computer networks, not on the Galactica is all networked computer systems operated separately. We do not need big brother watching Internet YEARS. The connection of these types of systems directly to the Internet is stupid.

What is funny to me is that to be better able to monitor and protect these systems, complex rules and tips will soon be more homogeneous, so the agency can control better understand what is happening. But that defeats the author is just jealous of their more recent, and there is a lot of different algorithms that run on different partts network.

The author is 100% correct to say that a single hacker working exclusively online and can not carry electrical power to its knees. BUT … the hacker, is not what this program (Perfect Citizen) in mind. Team is a country in mind … you guessed it … China. So why defend the grid is important. Besides being totally incompetent (I try in my professional capacity as a government contractor sticky), once the DHS gets its act together will be a greater threat to the Defense Department line freedom. As for those who defend it, the author has a valid argument, although I really do not want DHS to participate in the defense of the grid. The agency is better to do … DoE is more understanding of how the network and therefore easier to defend against threats as such. The Chinese have already violated NIRPNet, UNCLASS network of the Department of Defense, and can significantly affect SCADA application developers and proprietary operating systems at will.

The elimination of oil as an energy source while the decentralization of energy production would probably mean a modern Middle Ages, more or less exactly the same result as a hostile nation piracy supply lines. Electricity @ BloggermouthDecentralization reduce the efficiency of the plants are able to achieve economies of scale. The car driven by the ICE is the perfect example of decentralized energy production.

The decentralization of the network is more efficient, safe and protected. I've never heard of the fall line? It takes a lot energy to transfer electricity over long distances. To my knowledge, electricity is much faster than oil and road transport. ICE also provides centralized systems of production and transportation. Ice is effective in 30% after losing 70% of mechanical and thermal losses.
