how secure/safe are modem day oscilloscopes??
aqarwaen:
i want to ask how secure/safe are modem day oscilloscopes??
why this i mean how secure are oscilloscopes what have internet connectivty like,wifi,lan, bluetooth.
what is posibilty if i connect my oscilloscopes to internet,that some hacker may take it over with using security hole in oscilloscope costum os or hardware security??
is it possible for hack my oscilloscopes and mess with setting and make it blow up??
are there any malware made specifically for oscilloscopes ??
i know theys are question,buti am just currious about this.

router and firewall really do anything,for example if hacker is co-worker,who screw you over and do harm for you.all he needs to do,is plug in any flash drive to usb port, since modem oscilloscopes have usb port.but not sure how easy it would even find such stuff

If the hacker has physical access you're done, period. The hardware it's not going to be inherently safe or hardened because it's someone else's job to make sure that only trusted parties can use the hardware.
Hacking from remote, yeah firewalls, isolated networks, the usual stuff.
The scope is DEFINETLY going to have security holes in networking, the system is customized and never really udpated because of the customizations.
Gribo:
Test equipment with LXI is generally not secure. These devices have no authentication - imagine someone connecting to your power supply and set it to output max power. Such devices should be kept on their own isolated network.
