Sulaiman Alhasawi has launched a 2-day online live course designed for beginners interested in OT (Operational Technology) Cybersecurity. The course provides hands-on training in building an OT lab, simulating PLCs, SCADA, and HMIs, and understanding communication protocols like Modbus and DNP3.
🔗 Course Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/d_tSMQSq
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Build an OT Lab (Windows/Linux)
✅ Simulate Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
✅ Analyze OT Protocols (Modbus/DNP3)
✅ Use Engineering & Attack Tools
✅ Defensive & Offensive Security Techniques
📅 Duration: 2 Days
🗣 Language: Arabic or English (Based on Group Preference)
📍 Format: Live Online via Video Conference
You Should Know:
1. Setting Up an OT Lab (Linux/Windows)
To follow along with the course, you’ll need:
- VirtualBox/KVM for virtualization
- Kali Linux (for offensive security)
- Windows 10/11 (for engineering tools)
Key Commands for Linux OT Lab Setup:
Update & install dependencies sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt install virtualbox git python3-pip -y Clone ICS security tools git clone https://github.com/dark-lbp/isf.git cd isf pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. Simulating PLC & SCADA Systems
Use OpenPLC or Cisco Modeling Labs for simulation:
Install OpenPLC git clone https://github.com/thiagoralves/OpenPLC_v3.git cd OpenPLC_v3 ./install.sh
3. Analyzing Modbus Traffic
Use Wireshark & Modbus-cli:
Install Modbus CLI sudo apt install libmodbus-dev git clone https://github.com/fanzhe98/modbus-cli cd modbus-cli make && sudo make install Capture Modbus traffic sudo wireshark &
4. Attacking & Defending ICS Systems
- Metasploit Framework for ICS Exploits
- Snort for ICS Network Monitoring
Start Metasploit msfconsole use auxiliary/scanner/scada/modbusdetect set RHOSTS <target_IP> run
What Undercode Say:
OT cybersecurity is critical as industrial systems become more connected. This course provides a practical entry point into securing critical infrastructure. Key takeaways:
- Always segment OT networks from IT networks.
- Monitor Modbus/DNP3 traffic for anomalies.
- Use ICS-aware firewalls like Tofino or Nozomi.
- Practice with open-source tools (OpenPLC, ISF, Wireshark).
🔧 Essential Linux Commands for OT Security:
Check open ports in OT networks nmap -sT --script modbus-discover.nse <target_IP> Detect PLC devices with PLCscan git clone https://github.com/meeas/plcscan cd plcscan python3 plcscan.py -i <interface>
🛡 Windows ICS Security Commands:
Check for rogue RDP connections netstat -ano | findstr "3389" Disable unnecessary services Stop-Service -Name "OPCEnum" -Force
Expected Output:
A structured, hands-on approach to OT security fundamentals, with real-world simulations and actionable cybersecurity techniques.
