Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. Have fun!
-
Challenge
Build an OT Protocols Analysis Lab
Use the free and open source tools OpenPLC and Scada-LTS to build a virtual OT environment that will allow you to capture and analyze Modbus network traffic.
-
Challenge
Analyse Modbus Traffic
Capture and analyze traffic between a PLC and SCADA device to understand the structure and format of the Modbus protocol.
-
Challenge
Identify OT Reconnaissance Traffic
Simulate OT reconnaissance techniques and analyze captured packets to identify how they stand out from baseline Modbus traffic.
-
Challenge
Perform Packet Injection
Exploit a lack of authentication in the Modbus to inject packets to enumerate and manipulate an OT system.

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 flittered 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.
