Build an ICS Cybersecurity Lab: OpenPLC, FUXA & Docker (Step-by-Step)

MediaVideo

Most people try to learn Industrial Cybersecurity and OT security by reading PDFs and theory. That doesn’t work.

In this video, you’ll build a complete, realistic ICS/ OT lab from scratch — the same way industrial engineers and attackers see it in the real world.

In this hands-on tutorial, we design and deploy a fully isolated OT environment using:

📂 OpenPLC as the control logic (PLC)
📂 FUXA as a web-based SCADA system (running in Docker)
📂 Modbus TCP for real industrial protocol communication
📂 VirtualBox Host-Only networking to simulate an air-gapped factory network

This is not a demo.
This is a real attackable, observable, industrial control system lab.
