Industrial Control Systems (ICS) run many aspects of critical infrastructure and manufacturing. In this practical led workshop, you'll learn what ICS is, how to identify ICS devices and a number of ways to attack them, with practical labs using real-word devices. No past experience required!
In this practical session, you will learn the basics of hacking Industrial Control Systems (ICS) - the types of devices running many aspects of critical infrastructure. In this practical session, using real world devices, we will introduce the key concepts of ICS, teach you how to scan and identify ICS devices and teach you how to attack the devices to interfere with a simulated physical process. This session assumes no previous knowledge on ICS and all equipment, including laptops, will be provided. Basic knowledge of Python is a bonus, but not required.
