Pentesting Industrial Control Systems Workshop

ICS Security & Penetration Testing: Hands-on Training for Industrial Control Systems

Are you looking to understand and secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS)? This course provides a practical, hands-on introduction to ICS security and penetration testing techniques. Learn to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.

"Thanks to this course, I can now understand Marcel's YouTube videos. Absolutely recommended!" (★★★★★, Pebbles F.)

"A very interesting course that will suit the beginner who wants to discover the security of SCADA systems. I highly recommend this course!" (★★★★★, Adrien L.)

Why is OT Security Important?

Operational Technology (OT) security is a rapidly growing and crucial skill for technicians and engineers working with industrial plants. Unlike traditional IT environments, industrial systems require continuous availability. This course focuses on realistic, low-impact penetration testing methodologies suitable for maintaining operational stability.

What You'll Learn:

• Practical Pentesting Tools: Gain experience with popular Pentest tools from Kali Linux and open-source alternatives.
• Industrial Control System (ICS) Security Analysis: Understand the unique challenges and considerations of securing industrial environments.
• Hands-on Simulations: Practice your skills through 5 interactive simulations of industrial control systems. These simulations are designed to mimic real-world scenarios.
• Real-World Application: Explore tools and techniques on actual Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
• Vulnerability Assessment: Learn to identify common vulnerabilities in OT hardware.
• Security Best Practices: Discover strategies for protecting industrial control systems from cyber threats.

Course Highlights:

• Focus on Realistic Testing: This course emphasizes low-to-medium aggression testing, reflecting the need to avoid disrupting production. You won't learn techniques for "pwning" systems with exploits like buffer overflows or kernel exploits.
• Open Source Tools: Utilize a range of powerful open-source tools for ICS security analysis.
• Extensive Practice: Over 25 challenging tasks to deepen your skills.
• Beyond IT Pentesting: This course differentiates itself from typical IT penetration testing, addressing the specific requirements of OT environments.

Who Should Take This Course?

• Individuals with basic knowledge of industrial cybersecurity.
• Those preparing for the (CEH) Certified Ethical Hacker certification (v12 now requires OT knowledge).
• Technicians and engineers working with industrial control systems.
• Anyone interested in learning about ICS security.

Important Notes:

• The software used in this course is provided by third parties. Limited support is available for technical issues. Refer to the software publisher's help resources for assistance.
• While installation instructions are provided, participants are responsible for successful installation.
