Open Source Smart Meter Hacking Framework Released
http://j.mp/LGUT2S (Security Week)
"Termineter uses the serial port connection that interacts with the
meter's optical infrared interface to give the user access to the
smart meter's inner workings. SecureState's Termineter's user
interface is much like the interface used by the Metasploit
penetration testing framework. It relies on modules to extend its
testing capabilities. Spencer McIntyre, a member of SecureState's
Research and Innovation Team, is scheduled to demonstrate Termineter
in a session "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Smart
Meter," at Security B-Sides Vegas on July 25. Another researcher, Don
Weber, a senior security analyst with InGuardians, is also scheduled
to talk about smart meter hacking and unveil his own testing tool on
the same day as part of Black Hat Las Vegas. The tool, dubbed
OptiGuard, would demonstrate how infrared ports on a smart meter can
be penetrated and vulnerabilities exploited."
