   Last night I made a fake nuclear reactor control system and put it on the Internet for hackers to find.
   
   It's a script implementing the absolute minimum of the VNC protocol to very slowly send a screenshot of a SCADA interface.
   
   I'm logging any keys they try to type and mouse movements they make, and the next stage of the project is to use that data to drive a display in my living room, that'll look like an electronic cloud chamber (using e-paper)

     @brett fantastic. you should add an easter-egg deep into the UI that references the "vent radioactive gas: yes/no; venting prevents explosion" scene from the Simpsons episode where homer works from home

     @brunoph @brett amazing. It shouldn't be limited to an easter egg. It should be easy to trigger. What I would like to know is if an attacker, when pressing said button and getting a warning that a radiation leak is about to happen unless they press some specific button, would they press that button to try to save the situation?

     @brett P.S. perhaps throw a Chernobyl reference in there for good measure, e.g. something like

     POWER OUTAGE TEST IN PROGRESS
     EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEM
     TURBINE 3 SPINNING DOWN

     somewhere in the corner 😈

     @brett Put a SCRAM button in there and see how often it gets clicked.

     This is excellent! I'd love to deploy it on some honeypot infrastructure, do you have plans to publish the source?

     @ge0rg I might do at some point in the future but I wouldn't hold your breath, most of my projects don't reach the point where the code is okay to release
