This course is for Networking, Engineering, and Security personnel who need to develop a set of packet investigation techniques through study of the Industrial Control Systems and SCADA networking Protocols (IEC 60870, IEC 60870-5, IEC 60870-6 standard protocols: BACNET, CODESYS, DNP3, EIP, Ethercat, Modbus, Point Protocol, S7, HART IP, and ISO Protocol) using Wireshark and other Open-Source Analysis tools. 

The technologies of Industrial Control Systems and SCADA architecture comprise many of the critical components of the worldwide critical infrastructure. Effective analysis and troubleshooting such advanced technologies encompasses the skills of not only capturing data, but also the ability to discern unusual patterns hidden within seemingly normal network traffic. This course will provide the student with a set of investigate and analysis techniques focusing on the use of vendor-neutral, Open-Source Tools such as Wireshark to provide insight into the following areas:

– Specialized configuration and advanced traffic capture tips

– Recognition, analysis and threat recognition for a many of the Industrial Control Systems currently in use in such sectors as: Energy production, Water, food and transportation technologies including IEC 60870, IEC 60870-5, IEC 60870-6 standard protocols: BACNET, CODESYS, DNP3, EIP, Ethercat, Modbus, Point Protocol, S7, HART IP, and ISO Protocol Stacks

– Specialized ICS Analysis techniques including data traffic reconstruction and viewing techniques.
Real-World examples will be utilized throughout the course in conjunction with numerous hands-on exercises to provide field proven, practical analysis skills. Attendees will receive a student guide including numerous reference files and networking and forensics tools, as well as a library of reference documents

This course is designed for Networking, Engineering and Security personnel that need to develop a set of packet investigation techniques through study of the Industrial Control Systems and SCADA networking Protocols using Wireshark and other Open-Source Analysis tools. Successful completion of this course will provide these individuals with a path-way into the field of both Network and Forensics Analysis.
