Gaming the Control System

David Formby and Caleb Purcell

Getting into industrial control system (ICS) security is hard; everything is expensive and proprietary, and you can’t blow things up without going to jail. In this session, get some hands-on experience with ICS security in your own 3D virtual lab where you can launch real-world attacks to cause power outages, reactor explosions and more.

Pre-Requisites: Participants will need to bring a laptop. Basic experience with Python, Wireshark, and virtual machines is helpful but not required.
