Must be on LAN

the attacker would have to be within the LAN in order to make the attack work
Unless I'm reading it wrong the attacker must be on the inside of the ICSed network.

While a agree M$ should not have code that allows this how many people is this going to effect?

Don't use ICS with wireless. Don't use ICS anyway. (was: Re:


Theoretically it could work from nearby if you had a wireless AP going and inadequate security on it, plus ICS. This would be rather odd and seemingly unlikely tho.

Exactly my setup, minus the inadequate security.

Re: Must be on LAN

It's irritating that that fact is included only at the very bottom of the article. It's an inside attack, but everyone who reads the headline will assume it's an outside attack. Ugh.

I use ICS. As soon as I read that part I thought, "Oh, then there's nothing to worry about."
