The article discusses a tabletop exercise (TTX) using Backdoors & Breaches, a cybersecurity incident response game developed by Black Hills Information Security (BHIS). This gamified approach helps professionals practice real-world ICS/OT cyber incident response in an engaging way.
You Should Know:
1. What is Backdoors & Breaches?
A card-based incident response game simulating real-world cyberattacks. Players work through scenarios, applying cybersecurity principles to contain breaches.
2. Key Commands & Tools for Incident Response
If you’re practicing incident response, these commands can help:
Linux Commands:
Network Analysis sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap sudo netstat -tulnp Process & Log Inspection ps aux | grep "suspicious_process" journalctl -u sshd --no-pager | grep "Failed" File Integrity Checking sudo find / -type f -perm /4000 Find SUID files sha256sum /bin/bash Verify critical binaries
Windows Commands:
Check Open Ports
netstat -ano | findstr LISTENING
Process & Service Analysis
tasklist /svc
Get-WinEvent -LogName Security | Where-Object {$_.ID -eq 4625} Failed logins
Suspicious Scheduled Tasks
schtasks /query /fo LIST /v
- Incident Response Steps (Based on ICS/OT Scenarios)
- Initial Detection – Use SIEM (e.g., Splunk, ELK) to identify anomalies.
- Containment – Isolate affected systems using firewall rules (
iptables -A INPUT -s <attacker_IP> -j DROP). - Forensics – Capture memory (
volatility -f memory.dmp --profile=Win10x64 pslist).
4. Eradication – Remove malware (`chkrootkit`, `rkhunter`).
- Recovery – Restore from clean backups (
rsync -avz /backup/ /production/).

What Undercode Say:
Tabletop exercises like Backdoors & Breaches bridge the gap between theory and real-world cyber defense. Gamification accelerates learning, making complex incident response procedures more intuitive.
Prediction:
As ICS/OT attacks rise, gamified cyber training will become a standard in corporate security programs, reducing response times in critical infrastructure breaches.
Expected Output:
A structured, hands-on approach to cybersecurity incident response with actionable commands and real-world training resources.
