Industrial Control Systems, Idaho Falls

Yesterday I participated in the Red/Blue team exercise of a simulated Industrial Chemicals Plant.  My team was tasked with defending the plant from attack, and maintaining production.  After a long, fun, and frustrating day the attackers were able to compromise our production for over an hour which led to our eventual defeat in the exercise.

A lot of the material presented so far has been review, although it's surprisingly fun to exploit systems in a simulated industrial plant.

We've discussed a variety of topics over the last few days:
  • Network Discovery
  • Windows/Linux Admin
  • Device exploitation (metasploit, etc.)
  • Basic IDS (snort)
  • Vulnerability Scanning 
  • Social Engineering
just to name a few.  The training is provided by US-CERT and INL, and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone interested in the topics above. I am definitely ready to come home though.
