OWASP AppSec DC 2012/Pentesting Smart Grid Web Apps

The Presentation
Web applications have not only conquered most user interfaces in traditional IT markets, they are also quickly replacing most user interfaces in critical control systems such as SCADA, Smart Meters, Distribution Management, and other Smart Grid master servers. And if the servers weren't enough, now they are starting to appear in the embedded devices deployed in the field. This talk will discuss all the places where web applications and web services are being used in today's modern electrical grid. We will also discuss the challenges that penetration testers new to critical control systems will face and how they can successfully overcome those challenges.
