“…Keeping applications updated with the latest patches and security fixes further strengthens their resilience against memory-based leak attacks. By implementing these countermeasures, the IIoT application layer can be better safeguarded against memory-based leak attacks, ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical industrial systems [156]- [160].…”

We have witnessed significant technological advancement over the past few years, including the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT's ability to connect consumer appliances to the internet has changed the way we live. As a result of the significant benefits that IoT has brought to household usage, it has become a topic of discussion for research departments, leading to its expansion into industrial sectors, commonly known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). IIoT enables automation and the use of intelligent machines to improve product manufacturing processes and enhance our lives as customers. However, as IIoT-enabling technology and applications continue to grow, security issues and privacy protection challenges become harder to manage, which frequently results in data breaches and sensitive information disclosures. This paper first explains what the reader needs to know about the IIoT system architecture in Industry 4.0 to make it easier for them to understand. Second, a hacking scenario is utilized as a methodology to conduct an in-depth analysis of various security issues, as well as their impacts and countermeasures, for each level of the IIoT architecture. Additionally, our hacking scenarios present a variety of targets from which malicious actors can launch their assaults. Third, we provide a thorough review of the various blockchain solutions currently being employed to protect IIoT systems. Finally, this paper draws to a close by outlining certain gaps and potential solutions that could be investigated in subsequent studies to strengthen security and enhance privacy for IIoT systems.

“…For example, the Pharo VM constrains the representation of classes. Each class is required to have in its first three slots 5 , in this order: superclass, method dictionary and format. This allows the language to add other properties to their classes at the language level.…”

“…Moreover many academic works investigate tooling languages at the VM level, however they mainly focus on specific applications. It has been used particularly for debugging [1,9,11,12,22,40], profiling [22,34] and memory visualization [5,15,30,31] purposes. For instance, multiple works have been possible thanks to the Java Virtual Machine Tooling Interface (JVM TI) [9].…”

Virtual Machines (VMs) are critical language execution engines.When tooling the VM level, developers face an important abstraction gap. For instance, a VM supporting an Object-oriented Programming language often manipulates its memory using addresses whereas these addresses are hidden in the language this VM supports. This discourages tooling at the VM level.We propose to use language level object ordinary pointer (LLOOP) to reduce the abstraction gap. LLOOP combine VM level and language level knowledge at the VM level to ease VM tooling. We present our implementation on the Pharo language, which is supported by the Pharo VM. Moreover, we created two tools solving two real-world major bugs in the Pharo environment. These tools required VM level support.First, we investigate how to fix a meta error that was breaking a Pharo environment, preventing it to open. We repair the broken environment by tracking and fixing the language level method responsible for the error at the VM level. Second, we investigate a corrupted Pharo image. A few objects in the Pharo memory space were corrupted i.e., the VM was not able to read and manipulate them. We are able to identify and remove the corrupted objects, fixing the Pharo environment.
