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. How fun!
-
Challenge
Triage and Collect Artifacts from an ICS Attack
You will examine pre-collected evidence from an ICS security incident at a nuclear facility, identify affected systems, analyze logs, and document your initial findings in an incident response report.
-
Challenge
Conduct Forensic Analysis to Determine Root Cause
You will analyze the evidence collected during triage to determine how attackers compromised the ICS environment, what tools they used, and how they modified critical safety parameters.
-
Challenge
Implement Recovery Procedures For Compromised ICS Systems
You will develop and execute a recovery plan to restore the affected systems to normal operation, verify system integrity, and implement measures to prevent similar attacks in the future.
