My guess is that Putin et al were hoping that leaving comms working would allow the "shock and awe" approach to frighten the Ukrainians into capitulation.

Back in the day I tunneled X-Windows thru SSH to get thru the Great Firewall of NASA. as for network segmentation, having internal systems NATted from the outside world makes sense, but somebody has to make it work.

rmgill Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 If they leave enough Wifi active in an area, you could setup AP's to give a consumer level drone mesh connections to multiple AP's over an area. You'd not need to have a fixed command point and the mesh network would be hard to DF unless you were right on it. Enough nodes and it'd be VERY hard to clean an area. Add in Starlink uplinks and you'd only need someone to deploy the drone into the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day I tunneled X-Windows thru SSH to get thru the Great Firewall of NASA. X-Windows I understand. Squeezing that through SSH kinda makes sense. I've not even thought about the security implications of an X-Windows session on a network, back then we just assumed a private network, was secure, sorta turtle like. Hard on the outside, squishy on the inside. Thinking about it....makes my security conscious IT guy voice start to scream. xhost + ......oh crap. 16 minutes ago, Ivanhoe said: as for network segmentation, having internal systems NATted from the outside world makes sense, but somebody has to make it work. True. But my point is that this appears to show the hackers are inside the network which means it's effectively wide open to them to do what ever they want. Frankly were they cunning bastards, re-routing light power moves or whole trains to the wrong place would be more disruptive. Send loaded ammo and fuel trains someplace they're totally not needed and issue orders to remove the power and send that elsewhere.

If Russia stands for 10% of wests oil consumption i'd think it will be rather easy to open up existing production facilities, at least at the current oil price you can go for reasonable short payback. AFAIK, there is a lot of regulations limiting North sea oil too. Cheers /John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most dangerous of those moves would be prevented by the hardwired, interlocking logic. That needs physical access to hack, and it is not as easy as running some downloaded scripts.

There are worse implications, like the breakdown of supply chains of food, fertilizer, and other commodities. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/23/impact-of-russia-ukraine-on-supply-chains-food-metals-commodities.html Quote Food security Ukraine produces wheat, barley and rye that much of Europe relies on, analysts said. It’s also a big producer of corn. “Even though harvesting season is still a few months away, a prolonged conflict would create bread shortages [and increase consumer prices] this fall,” said Holland. In fact, it’s not just the European Union that will be hit — many nations in the Middle East and Africa also rely on Ukranian wheat and corn, and disruptions to that supply could affect food security in those regions, said Dawn Tiura, president at Sourcing Industry Group. “China is also a big recipient of Ukrainian corn — in fact, Ukraine replaced the U.S. as China’s top corn supplier in 2021,” she said.
