LIVE demo of an OT system you can build yourself, complete with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Human Machine Interface (HMI) and all the hardware and wiring!
- Program a PLC
- Program an HMI
- Attack the industrial process! (Rogue Modbus and Modbus Man-in-the-middle)
- Detect the attacks with Zeek and Snort!
- Lots of blinking lights. mmmm...
If you're interested in getting hands-on experience with OT without breaking the bank, this is for YOU!
Check out the kit project GitHub for a look at what we're bringing!

We all know OT is a challenge. But it's also really difficult for newcomers to get the experience they need to break through the gates.
That's why I built this kit. It's all stuff you can buy on Amazon for about $400.
Sure you could learn it all from VMs, but then you're missing all the wiring experience and physicality of the industrial process underneath.
I'll have all the VMs running, including Ignition, remote access, firewall, engineering workstation, and of course the PLC itself. You can explore how industrial controls work, attack the process, or just enjoy the sound of the fan kicking on and off.
It's a great way to get your feet wet.
