Hacking the connected plant: AI edition!

Level of Instruction: Beginner

Instructed by: Arnaud Soullié, Alexandrine TORRENTS

Abstract:

Tired of legacy ICS systems? Attend this workshop to hack the next generation of Industrial Control Systems,! No more Modbus, no more standard PLC, no more Purdue model!

This workshop is designed to show what the future might look like for Industrial Control Systems, with a focus on ML & AI!

We’ll bring a realistic ICS setup that features all the fancy current and future trends: SD-WAN and Zero Trust, OPC-UA, MQTT, Digital Twin, Edge devices and soft-PLCs to control a small-scale industrial process simulation. This year, we’ll also add some machine learning and LLM challenges! Will you be able to trick the ICS virtual assistant into giving you access to the production systems?

After a short introduction, we’ll get into hacking! We will walk you through a CTF-style exercise to go from 0 to full industrial process hacking! The CTF will be guided so that everyone learns something and gets a chance to get most flags!
