HoneyPLC

  ICS are ubiquitous in the infrastructure of many utilities we use on a daily basis, from electricity to transportation. Any disruption to these systems would result in massive socioeconomic damage. This scenario is no longer a thing of the future, it is a reality. The number of attacks targeted towards ICS has regularly increased. One of the most important components of ICS networks are Programmable Logic Controllers also known as PLCs. They control key hardware such as pumps or centrifuges. Honeypots are an excellent tool that helps us understand cyberattacks against ICS, including PLCs. Several honeypots implementations have been proposed. Researchers utilize ICS honeypots to obtain valuable data about new attacker tactics and malware behaviour. However, current ICS honeypot implementations fail to provide the necessary features to capture data on the latest and most sophisticated attack techniques. HoneyPLC is designed as a medium-interaction honeypot and its architecture co...
