Okay, I am behind on posting about embedded/mobile software security concerns, in part because the number of interesting reports has become almost a flood of “issued”. For example this week, you should read about SCADE systems (something I talk about in my attack testing book) at:

The mobile and embedded industry and their testers seem to be in the mode of “let the bad guys find the holes”. This is the classic closing the barn door after the horse are out. It is concerning to many of us. I really don’t want my SCADE controlled power system to be hacked and crash.
I promise I will post more of these “pointers” for embedded/mobile software security testers to have in the “horror” story play book. I just need more time to keep up with the flood.
