Lab access included*

In this advanced level module, take a deep dive into the Modbus traffic of a simulated chemical plant to understand how to attack and harden one of the most common ICS protocols in use. After completing this chapter you will be able to

Run advanced nmap scripts to enumerate Modbus devices

Use Python Scapy scripts to perform detailed Modbus device enumeration

Scan and scrape data from a Modbus server

Send Modbus commands to control a process

Fuzz Modbus servers to check for vulnerabilities

Write IDS rules to detect suspicious Modbus activity

Set up a basic Modbus honeypot to study attacker behavior

2 CPE

The Fortiphyd Virtual Training Grounds series equips you with the practical experience needed to secure ICS networks. Practice launching real attacks, see their physical consequences, and learn how to defend against them all in realistic 3D simulated plants.

*Professional users get 60 days of lab access with purchase of bundle or 7 days per individual course, starting during the next available time slot. Academic user pricing and duration of lab access dependent on agreement with school.
