You Should Know:
Setting Up a Virtual OT Lab
To practice safely, use virtualization tools like VirtualBox or VMware:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install virtualbox -y
Analyzing OT Packet Captures with Wireshark
sudo apt install wireshark wireshark -r modbus_capture.pcap
Running Conpot Honeypot
git clone https://github.com/mushorg/conpot.git cd conpot pip install -r requirements.txt python conpot.py --template default
Scanning ICS Networks with Nmap
nmap -sV --script modbus-discover.nse -p 502 <target_IP>
Simulating PLCs with Python
from pyModbusTCP.server import ModbusServer
server = ModbusServer("0.0.0.0", 502, no_block=True)
server.start()
What Undercode Say:
OT/ICS security is critical for protecting industrial infrastructure. These GitHub repositories provide hands-on learning, from packet analysis to honeypot deployment. Practicing in virtual labs ensures safety while mastering real-world attack and defense techniques.
Expected Output:
A structured learning path with practical commands and tools for OT/ICS cybersecurity.
