Claroty Team82 researcher Vera Mens joins the podcast to discuss her BSides Tel Aviv presentation today called, "Total Flaw: Hacking Flow Computers for Fun and Free Gas.
Flow computers calculate flow rates for gas, oil, and more, and could be a key target for an experienced attacker who is looking to disrupt or damage a process in the oil and gas industry. 
Mens uncovered two vulnerabilities that gave her access to a vendor's flow computer and allowed her to write code to the device; the vulnerabilities have been patched, and she shared some details in her talk today.
