What this book covers
Chapter 1, Using Virtualization, will walk you through the basic building blocks of virtualization, and then progress into building out a hypervisor that will support our virtual ICS lab.
Chapter 2, Route the Hardware, covers the principles of setting up a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), and then moves on to the fundamentals of connecting that PLC to a virtual machine on our newly minted hypervisor.
Chapter 3, I Love My Bits – Lab Setup, takes us through the steps of writing, downloading, and uploading our first program to our PLC.
Chapter 4, Open Source Ninja, teaches you about the power of Google-Fu, oversharing on LinkedIn, exposed devices on Shodan.io, navigating ExploitDB, and finally, leveraging the national vulnerability database.
Chapter 5, Span Me If You Can, teaches you about SPANs and TAPs and how they can be leveraged in a pentesting engagement, and then we will take a deep dive into intrusion detection systems.
Chapter 6, Packet Deep Dive, walks through the structure of a typical packet, teaching you how to capture packets from the wire, and then analyzing those packets for key information.
Chapter 7, Scanning 101, starts out by building a live SCADA system, and then moves on to using NMAP, RustScan, Gobuster, and feroxbuster to perform scanning techniques on our live SCADA system.
Chapter 8, Protocols 202, takes a deep dive into Modbus and Ethernet/IP and the ways we can utilize these protocols to perform pentesting tasks inside the ICS.
Chapter 9, Ninja 308, leverages FoxyProxy and Burp Suite to analyze and attack the SCADA user interface.
Chapter 10, I Can Do It 420, starts off by installing and configuring a corporate-side firewall to provide a more holistic lab setup. Then, we continue on to scanning, exploiting, and then landing reverse shells.
Chapter 11, Whoot… I Have To Go Deep, now that we have the shells, looks at running post-exploitation modules to glean data from inside the network. We will escalate privileges on the machines that we compromise, and then pivot down to the lower segments.
Chapter 12, I See the Future, looks at the dangers of credential reuse by taking you through the steps of leveraging credentials discovered in previous steps and then accessing the SCADA interface for ultimate control of the system.
Chapter 13, Pwnd but with Remorse, discusses the core deliverable, the report. If there is no evidence, did a test actually occur? We will prepare a template for future assessments/pentests, then discuss the critical information that lands inside the report, and then finally, document recommendations that can be used by the blue team to protect their systems into the future.
