Operational Technology is the combination of hardware and software that controls and operates the physical mechanisms of industry. OT systems play an important role in the water, manufacturing, power, and distribution systems that transformed industry into the modern age. All of these systems function to operate, automate, and manage industrial machines.
Binary diffing, a technique for comparing binaries, can be a powerful tool to facilitate malware analysis and perform malware family attribution. This blog post describes how AT&T Alien Labs is leveraging binary diffing and code analysis to reduce reverse-engineering time and generate threat intelligence.
