The SCADA honeypot

As mentioned on the website http://scadahoneynet. sourceforge.net/, the SCADA honeynet project was launched with the aim of determining the feasibility of building a software-based framework to simulate a variety of industrial networks such as SCADA, DCS, and PLC architectures. It can be used to: Build a honeynet for attackers, in order to gather data on attacker trends and tools Provide a scriptable industrial protocol simulator to test a real, live protocol implementation Research countermeasures, such as device hardening, stack obfuscation, reducing application information, and the effectiveness of network access controls The project dates way back to 2005 but it is very relevant even today in the challenging SCADA security scenario.
