Labshock: The Ultimate ICS/OT Security Lab Setup

Featured Image
Labshock is a revolutionary ICS/OT (Industrial Control Systems/Operational Technology) security lab designed for hands-on learning, testing, and research. It allows you to set up a full-fledged industrial lab in just 5 minutes, featuring:

✅ PLCs & OT languages – Simulate industrial controllers and their programming.
✅ SCADA & Tags – Work with supervisory control and data acquisition systems.
✅ Engineering Station & IDE – Develop and test industrial automation logic.
✅ IDS & ICS Protocols – Monitor and secure industrial network traffic.
✅ SIEM & Industrial Logs – Analyze security events in an OT environment.
✅ Pentest Station & OT Attacks – Practice ethical hacking in a safe ICS lab.

You Should Know: How to Set Up and Use Labshock

1. Installation & Setup

To deploy Labshock, follow these steps:

 Clone the Labshock repository (if available)
git clone https://github.com/labshock-ics/labshock.git 
cd labshock

Run the automated setup script (example)
chmod +x setup.sh 
./setup.sh 

2. Simulating PLCs & SCADA

Use tools like OpenPLC or Cisco Packet Tracer (for network simulation):

 Install OpenPLC on Linux 
sudo apt update 
sudo apt install openplc 

3. Analyzing ICS Protocols

Capture and inspect industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3) using Wireshark:

 Install Wireshark 
sudo apt install wireshark

Capture Modbus traffic 
sudo wireshark -k -i eth0 -Y "modbus" 

4. Running OT Penetration Tests

Use Metasploit for ICS-specific exploits:

 Start Metasploit 
msfconsole

Search for ICS exploits 
search type:exploit scada 

5. SIEM & Log Monitoring

Deploy ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for OT log analysis:

 Install ELK Stack (simplified) 
docker pull sebp/elk 
docker run -p 5601:5601 -p 9200:9200 -p 5044:5044 -it --name elk sebp/elk 

What Undercode Say

Labshock bridges the gap between IT security and industrial systems, providing a safe sandbox for offensive and defensive ICS/OT research.

🔹 Key Linux Commands for ICS Security:

 Network scanning in OT environments 
nmap -sV --script modbus-discover.nse <target_IP>

Simulate PLC traffic with Python 
pip install pymodbus 
python3 -m pymodbus.server --port 502

Monitor industrial logs in real-time 
journalctl -f -u scada-service 

🔹 Windows Commands for OT Testing:

 Check open Modbus ports 
Test-NetConnection -Port 502 -ComputerName <PLC_IP>

Extract SCADA logs via PowerShell 
Get-WinEvent -LogName "SCADA/Operational" 

🔹 Future of ICS Security:

  • AI-driven anomaly detection in OT networks.
  • Automated exploit prevention for critical infrastructure.

Prediction

ICS/OT security will become a top priority as cyber-physical attacks rise, leading to more open-source OT labs like Labshock for training.

Expected Output:

  • A fully functional ICS lab in 5 minutes.
  • Hands-on experience with PLCs, SCADA, and OT attacks.
  • Improved skills in industrial cybersecurity.
