For Fall 2021, my seventh semester, I chose to take CS6263: Intro to Cyber Physical Systems Security. This class provides an introduction to security issues relating to various cyber-physical systems including industrial control systems
I chose to take this class partially due to my ongoing interest in the infosec industry, and partially because it overlaps very strongly with my new job and I figured a bit of additional training wouldn’t be a bad idea.
The theoretical material in the lectures and exams is augmented with 4 “mini projects” using a variety of tools:
- Factory IO and block diagram programming
- Ladder logic programming using OpenPLC
- Mininet, Python, Wireshark
- Assembly x86, C, GDB debugger
