This archive contains long‑form research, whitepapers, and technical analysis focused on critical infrastructure, signal trust, RF‑layer dependencies, and defensive systems thinking.
Research Paper
Standard ICS monitoring watches the network and the controller. Signal-layer attacks arrive below both. Five detection techniques for the gap between what the controller believes and what the process actually is.
Research Paper
In December 2020, 18,000 organizations discovered they had been running Russian intelligence malware for nearly a year — delivered via a software update they explicitly trusted. This analysis examines how APT29 turned SolarWinds' own code-signing infrastructure into a weapon, why every security control failed, and what the "Inputs Lie" framework reveals about trust boundary failures across cybersecurity domains.
Research Paper
When deterministic control logic executes on manipulated inputs, failure is engineered to look like equipment malfunction. What detection actually requires at the physics layer.
Research Paper
How signal manipulation attacks bypass traditional ICS security controls at the physics layer — and what defenders need to do differently.
Research Paper
How nation-state actors exploit the signals layer that traditional ICS security frameworks don't cover — and what defenders can detect without replacing legacy infrastructure.
Research Paper
If you lie to an industrial system about its inputs, it will execute that lie faithfully into the physical world. The first article in the Inputs Lie series.
Research Paper
An exposé on how the water and wastewater industry’s reliance on default credentials leaves critical infrastructure open to compromise.
Research Paper
An investigation into how deterministic control logic behaves when fed adversarial inputs, and how to design industrial automation that degrades safely instead of catastrophically.
Research Paper
How SIGINT, industrial control systems and application security converge around satellite timing and RF dependencies in critical infrastructure.
