Show Notes
From nuclear power plants to the traffic lights in Jerusalem, the modern world is orchestrated by a complex web of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. In this episode of My Weird Prompts, Herman and Corn break down the "Purdue Model" of industrial architecture, explaining how local programmable logic controllers (PLCs) act as the physical reflexes while central servers serve as the supervisory brain. They explore the critical intersection of operational technology and the internet of things, discussing the security risks of legacy protocols and why your city's infrastructure won't just freeze if a single server goes down.
