Using Wireless Sensor to Acquire Live Data on a SCADA System, Towards Monitoring File Integrity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 165))

Abstract

SCADA systems are network presence systems that face significant threats and attacks. After an attack occurred, SCADA requires forensic investigation to understand the cause and effects of the intrusion or disruption on the systems services. However, forensic investigators cannot turn it off during acquiring the live data that is required for the investigation and analysis process. That is because the systems services need to be continuously operational. Despite the great efforts to acquire live data on SCADA systems, the continuously change of this type of data and the risk on the systems services make it a big challenge. In this proposal, we suggest a new method to acquire live data on a SCADA system using wireless sensor network. The proposed idea attempts to monitor file integrity and acquire live data in a way that minimizes risk to the systems services. In addition, it aims to help Forensic investigators by guarantee early data acquisition after incident and digital evidence validity as well.
