I don't want to start a flame war, but this article seems flawed to me. It seems an IP is an IP. http://www.redtigersecurity.com/security-briefings/2011/9/16/scada-vendors-use-public-routable-ip-addresses-by-default.html I think I could announce private IP space, so doesn't that make this argument invalid? I've always looked at private IP space as more of a resource and management choice and not a security feature.
Yes, the author of this article is sadly mistaken and woefully void of clue on the issues he attempts to address. You are completely correct. Owen
