Pentesting Industrial Control Systems: An ethical hacker's guide to analyzing, compromising, mitigating, and securing industrial processes

An ethical hacker's guide to the unique challenges of analyzing, compromising, mitigating, and securing industrial processes. It offers a practical, hands-on approach to understanding and exploiting vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments. The text covers setting up a virtual lab, open-source intelligence gathering, network scanning and analysis with tools like Nmap and Wireshark, exploiting common industrial protocols, and techniques for privilege escalation and lateral movement. A significant portion also addresses reporting findings and recommending security improvements, including understanding and bypassing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and leveraging frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for industrial cybersecurity. The author's extensive experience in automation and industrial cybersecurity informs the book's focus on real-world scenarios and practical application.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Pentesting-Industrial-Control-Systems-compromising/dp/1800202385?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=31f57cc9544737ce81eeaed122b8bcfd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
