The latter two numbers refer to the actual key lengths used to encrypt and decrypt your data. The longer the key, the more difficult the encryption is to crack. As you can imagine, due to the sheer key length and the size of the block, SEDs employing these algorithms are next-to-impossible to crack. Seriously, it would take billions of years, and this is why hackers focus more so on physical access or obtaining your authentication keys.
FIPS 140-2 is usually required for military and government applications transmitting controlled unclassified information, so if that doesn't apply to you, just look for an Opal 2.0-compliant drive. Both AES 128-bit and 256-bit encryption algorithms are nearly impossible to crack - remember, billions of years - so either choice is suitable, but 256-bit encryption is technically more secure.

The appeal of hacking a physical process is dreaming about physical damage attacks lighting up the sky in a shower of goodness. Lets face it, after such elite hacking action nobody is going to let you present it at a conference like Black Hat. As a poor substitute, this presentation will get as close as using a simulated plant for Vinyl Acetate production for demonstrating a complete attack, from start to end, directed at persistent economic damage to a production site while avoiding attribution of production loss to a cyber-event. Such an attack scenario could be useful to a manufacturer aiming at putting competitors out of business or as a strong argument in an extortion attack.Picking up a paper these days its easy to find an article on all the SCADA insecurity out there associated with an unstoppable attacker with unsophisticated goal of kicking up another apocalypse. Sorry to disappoint excited crowd but formula Your wish is my command does not work for control systems. The target plant may not have been designed in a hacker friendly way. Hopefully by the end of the presentation, the audience will understand the difference between breaking into the system and breaking the system, obtaining control and being in control. An attacker targeting a remote process is not immediately gifted with complete knowledge of the process and the means to manipulate it. In general, an attacker follows a series of stages before getting to the final attack. Designing an attack scenario is a matter of art as much as economic consideration. The cost of attack can quickly exceed damage worth. Also, the attacker has to find the way to compare between competing attack scenarios.In traditional IT hacking, a goal is to go undetected. In OT (operational technologies) hacking this is not an option. An attack will change things in the real world that cannot be removed by simply erasing the log files. If a piece of equipment is damaged or if a plant suddenly becomes less profitable, it will be investigated. The attacker has to create forensic footprint for investigators by manipulating the process and the logs in such a way that the analysts draw the wrong conclusions.Exploiting physical process is an exotic and hard to develop skill which have so far kept a high barrier to entry. Therefore, real-world control system exploitation has remained in the hands of a few. To help the community mastering new skills we have developed 'Damn Vulnerable Chemical Process" - first open source framework for cyber-physical experimentation based on two realistic models of chemical plants. Come to the session and take your first master class on complex physical hacking.
New generation Set Top Boxes (Satellite receivers) are embedded linux boxes offering all the features of any linux based machine, including wireless and network connectivities, this allowed hackers to crack most satellite DVB-CA encryption schemes promoting the apparition of a parallel black market for pay tv subscription at very low cost.In this engaging session, we will present a practical attack that will exploit human weakness, Satellite receivers design, used protocols and subscription mechanisms that mainly relay on custom plugins on satellite receivers for channel decryption.We will also describe technically a similar attack that was already conducted some years ago using a backdoor within CCCAM protocol provider.This attack could be exploited to build a massive botnet of linux based satellite receivers or even computers used for satellite decryption and accessing end users local area networks that will be used as an edge for any other kind of attacks. There are millions of unaware end users downloading and installing any kind of plugins seeking cheap or even free satellite television, then the attack could be difficult to mitigate, and could easily lead to a hacker controlling millions of devices on the internet. 2ff7e9595c
