Contains a video of what appears to be a diesel generator being controlled by computer and caused to shake violently and spew enough smoke to obscure it from view.
It details a research project demonstrating the ability to use protective relays in power systems to cause physical damage to those systems. Part of the vulnerability also lies in using low-power control buses (Modbus) and equipment that does not perform sanity checks to assure synchronous operation of the power systems.
