KALI LINUX OT/ICS SECURITY: Develop Defensive Strategies for Industrial Systems with High-Performance Tools

This book presents a practical approach to analysis, auditing, and defense of OT/ICS environments using Kali Linux as a platform for technical validation, investigation, and evidence production. Aimed at industrial cybersecurity professionals and students, the content demonstrates how to map assets, interpret industrial traffic, analyze protocols, validate segmentation, and strengthen automation environments with a focus on operational security and authorized testing.

The work explores tools such as tcpdump, tshark, Wireshark, nmap, netcat, jq, Python, sha256sum, and Linux utilities for capture, parsing, inventory, evidence organization, PCAP analysis, and controlled validation. Protocols and technologies such as Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, S7comm, EtherNet/IP, CIP, DNP3, Profinet, OPC UA, BACnet, MQTT, Sparkplug B, CAN, and CANopen are also covered, always connecting traffic, asset, zone, operational function, and possible impact on the process.

You will learn to:

*Prepare secure OT/ICS laboratories with Kali Linux * Capture and interpret industrial traffic with tcpdump, tshark, and Wireshark * Map industrial assets, ports, flows, and protocols * Analyze Modbus TCP, S7comm, EtherNet/IP, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, and MQTT * Validate segmentation, zones, conduits, and industrial DMZ * Organize PCAPs, logs, hashes, inventories, and technical evidence * Apply IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS to operational analysis * Structure hardening, monitoring, and incident response in industrial environments

By the end, you will be able to execute defensive OT/ICS Security routines with Kali Linux, integrating inventory, capture, traffic analysis, control validation, evidence documentation, and continuous strengthening of industrial systems.
