    No hands-on experience but I've done a little digging on the topic. Most
    of the info (whitepapers, academic articles, prezos) is the normal blah
    blah blah best practices (policy/firewall/ids/pentest) vs. low level
    details of specific control system vulnerabilities.
    
    The most interesting things I ran across (sorry no URLs but they should be
    in google):
    
    Barry C. Ezell, _Risks of Cyber Attack to Supervisory Control and Data
    Acquisition for Water Supply_ (Master's Thesis, UVA, 1998)
    
    Joe Wiess, _Information Security Needs and Issues for Control Systems_ 
    (Prezo at EEI/AGA IT Conference, 14 Jan '02)
    
    There were a few interesting prezos at the ICCC (Common Criteria) meeting
    on archictectural security issues for control systems a month or so ago
    but they still haven't released the CD-ROMs yet.
    
    Work is being done at Argonne/Sandia National labs on this type of stuff. 
    Also NIST (especially PCSRF
    http://www.isd.mel.nist.gov/projects/processcontrol/)
    
    Riptech is also active on the commercial side.
    
    BTW, there is a conference at the end of the month in Vancouver on SCADA
    security that might be promising. See http://www.kemaseminars.com
