Selected Answer: C
It's C because the wording of this question is really...poor. They're asking why the SCAN ITSELF is a problem, not the devices. We know that a device causes real world problems, but an improperly configured scan with wrong protocols can cause the SCADA to malfunction. It's so silly what they're asking, but this is a trick question for an exam environment.

The problem is that the question specifies performing a penetration test not a scan ... It's not the same thing

SCADA/ICS systems could control HVAC or fire suppression systems. If these are taken down, and a fire breaks out, stuff would hit the fan real quick.

Selected Answer: D
D. devices may cause physical world effects. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to monitor and control industrial, infrastructure, and facility-based processes. Interfering with these systems can lead to real-world consequences such as disrupting utilities, affecting manufacturing processes, or causing damage to critical infrastructure. Penetration testing SCADA systems requires a deep understanding of the potential consequences and special precautions to ensure safety.

Selected Answer: D
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to control and monitor industrial processes, including manufacturing, power generation, and more. Penetration testing in an environment with SCADA devices brings unique risks because improper interactions with these devices can cause real-world, physical consequences. The correct answer is: D. devices may cause physical world effects.

The correct answer is D. SCADA devices have the potential to cause physical world effects, such as opening a safety valve or switching on a pump, so they need to be treated with particular care when performing penetration testing.
