In the previous article in this series, we built a sophisticated, low-interaction SCADA honeypot with conpot. In this article, we will now test that Honeypot to see what it looks like to an outside attacker. It’s critical that our HoneyPot look and act like an authentic SCADA system, if we are to be successful in […]
