Design and Implementation of Industrial Control Cyber Range System

Abstract

In the 21st century, world-leading industries are under the accelerated development of digital transformation. Along with information and data resources becoming more transparent on the Internet, many new network technologies were introduced, but cyber-attack also became a severe problem in cyberspace. Over time, industrial control networks are also forced to join the nodes of the Internet. Therefore, cybersecurity is much more complicated than before, and suffering risk of browsing unknown websites also increases. To practice defenses against cyber-attack effectively, Cyber Range is the best platform to emulate all cyber-attacks and defenses. This article will use VMware virtual machine emulation technology, research cyber range systems under industrial control network architecture, and design and implement an industrial control cyber range system. Using the industrial cyber range to perform vulnerability analyses and exploits on web servers, web applications, and operating systems. The result demonstrates the consequences of the vulnerability attack and raises awareness of cyber security among government, enterprises, education, and other related fields, improving the practical ability to defend against cybersecurity threats.
