Challenge
Analyzing SCADA Network Communication
You will explore the ModBus protocol and what the communication of this looks like from the packet level. This introduction will show the reading and writing of registers and the different function codes that can be used to start and stop devices. This will show how these SCADA protocols were developed with no concept of security, and as a result of this, the entire communication sequence is in clear text; furthermore, there are no protections in place from outside attackers!

Challenge
Attacks and Defense against SCADA Network Communication
Observe network communication when an attack is made against Availability and Confidentiality at the packet level. Identify the characteristics of malicious packets and network communication. Mitigate the confidentiality attack using built-in filters to control who can poll the slave device.

The Last Challenge
Welcome to the final challenge! This is your last chance to experiment in the environment. Clicking Finish Lab will end this little world that came into existence just for you,
Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
