Computer Science ISSC478 week 5 assignment

 

This week's assignment we are going to investigate the more devious side of things. Based on your work from ISSC477 and the MITRE ATT&CK for ICS paper, you will be describing how someone can successfully attack and/or hack a PLC.

Assignment Guidelines

Step 1: Read the MITRE ATT&CK for ICS paper and look at the webpage https://collaborate.mitre.org/attackics/index.php/Groups .

Step 2: You will chose either one of the attacks listed on the webpage or if you are adventurous you can find a PLC attack of your own. Your focus on your research and data gathering should be focused on what happened in the PLC/SCADA attack. A 4-5 page paper should be sufficient to answer some of the following questions.

What PLC/SCADA system was attacked?
Which organization was targeted?
Who attacked the target?
How did the attacker gain access?
What was the rough timeline of the attack?
