Abstract

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems control and monitor industrial and critical infrastructure functions, such as the electricity, gas, water, waste, railway and traffic. Recent attacks on SCADA systems highlight the need of a SCADA security testbed, which can be used to model real SCADA systems and study the effects of attacks on them. We propose the architecture of a modular SCADA testbed and describe our tool which mimics a SCADA network, monitors and controls real sensors and actuators using Modbus/TCP protocol. Using Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) scenarios we show how attackers can disrupt the operation of a SCADA system.
