There is certainly nothing critical running Solaris on a 747 or any other airplane. All airborne software needs to get certified by FAA and is developed and evaluated through the lens of the DO-178B standard.
- thristian 15y agoDid you click through the blogspam and read the original article? > I was contracted to test the systems on a Boeing 747. They had added a new video system that ran over IP. They segregated this from the control systems using layer 2 - VLANs. We managed to break the VLANs and access other systems and with source routing could access the Engine management systems. Perhaps there's nothing critical running Solaris, but apparently the critical systems are accessible from the systems running Solaris.

- kristoffer 15y agoHe states that the "engine management system" ran Solaris, and that was what he managed to access. I don't know what he means by "engine management system" but I am quite sure it was not critical ...
- ramidarigaz 15y agoWell, if engineers can 're-tune' the engines mid-flight, then I suspect those systems are critical.
- kristoffer 15y agoAnother option is that the guy does not know what he is talking about ... I guess we will never know for sure.
