ICS/OT SECURITY | TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION | RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
This is an evolving hub for my security research, technical experiments, tools, and projects.
I investigate how systems work, how they communicate, where security assumptions fail, and how technical findings can inform better defenses. My work combines hands-on experimentation, protocol and system analysis, custom tooling, and reproducible documentation.
PLC Security Research → / IN DEVELOPMENT
An upcoming research initiative exploring PLC security through controlled experiments, technical investigation, and reproducible lab work. Details and findings will be added as the work develops.
Industrial Protocols Research →
A collection of investigations into industrial communication, protocol behavior, implementation details, and security considerations. The series explores protocols from the raw socket level upward through dissection, capability analysis, controlled manipulation, resilience testing, and defensive analysis.
A forensic and integrity tool for ICS/OT removable media, combining device identification, file integrity verification, and entropy-based anomaly detection.
MEA · Modbus Exposure Analyzer →
A passive traffic analysis tool for profiling Modbus communication, examining device behavior, and identifying potentially exposed or misconfigured industrial assets.
New tools and experiments will be featured here as the portfolio grows.
An isolated industrial network simulation built around OpenPLC and FUXA HMI for exploring industrial architectures and security scenarios.
A multi-tier industrial simulation connecting OpenPLC, FUXA, and Ignition Maker for investigating industrial communication and system behavior.
These environments support controlled experimentation, evidence collection, and repeatable testing.
My research environment evolves with the problems I investigate. Current work draws on:
Python C/C++ Bash Linux Docker Git Wireshark tcpdump
Industrial systems, network analysis, protocol implementations, virtualized environments, and custom research tooling.
This is a snapshot of the current environment, not an exhaustive list of my technical interests.
Research is documented through technical articles, repository notes, lab procedures, and experimental findings. I aim to make investigations understandable, reproducible, and useful to others working on related problems.
