Operational Technology and Industrial Control Systems are essential to critical infrastructure such as power grids, manufacturing systems, and water treatment facilities. However, these environments face increasing cyber threats from advanced attackers. Because most OT networks are isolated from the internet for safety reasons, it is difficult to study real attacks without risking the security of live operational systems. This project addresses this gap by designing an OT honeynet that safely attracts and observes attackers targeting industrial control technologies. Open-source security and monitoring tools capture attacker activity. A visualization interface allows analysts to view attacker behavior and understand the sequence of events during an intrusion attempt. Furthermore, the environment is completely reproducible, utilizing automated infrastructure-as-code to allow organizations to seamlessly deploy the platform. By providing a secure, heavily monitored sandbox for studying OT-focused attacks, this platform significantly improves the understanding of adversary tactics and supports the proactive development of stronger cybersecurity strategies for critical infrastructure.
