Description: For years we've had pen test distributions like BackTrack and SamuraiWTF to help us perform penetration testing in most IT environments, however these distributions have been generic in nature to enable their use in a wide variety of different environments. One environment where these distributions have failed to meet the needs of their users is on SCADA and Smart Grid systems. We have just fixed this problem. Taking our experience running SamuraiWTF over the last four years, UtiliSec, a leading provider of security consulting services in the energy sector, has created an open source linux distribution specifically for Electric Utility security teams. SamuraiSTFU takes the best in bread security tools for traditional network and web penetration testing, adds specialized tools for embedded and RF testing, and mixes in a healthy dose of energy sector context, documentation, and sample files. Oh, and I shouldn't forget the inclusion of emulators for SCADA, Smart Meters, and other types of energy sector systems to provide leverage a full test lab. So whether you work for an electric utility, or are interested in gaining sufficient experience to start doing security work in these environments, checkout the project at SamuraiSTFU.org.
