>“The End-of-Train (EOT) and Head-of-Train (HOT) vulnerability has been understood and monitored by rail sector stakeholders for over a decade. To exploit this issue, a threat actor would require physical access to rail lines, deep protocol knowledge, and specialized equipment, which limits the feasibility of widespread exploitation—particularly without a large, distributed presence in the U.S.

Sure, thats reaaaally unlikely hey... /S

While this is bad… keep in mind you can also stop trains with a jumper cable across the tracks, too.

This looks like an exploit for all future train control systems (TCS)

Does including a three-letter acronym (TLA) make your answer look informed (ALI)?

Because it's an article about outdated systems. Radio-controlled systems built in the last ten years, and in the future, are all mandated to be encrypted.

Furthermore, very few passenger train systems are radio-controlled. Instead, just like cars and buses, control is decentralized to the individual vehicle, and automated based on feedback from the track. No feedback, and the train stops.

Don’t know about today, but you used to be able to drop the gates with a nail.
