Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are nowadays interconnected with various networks and, ultimately, with the Internet. Due to this exposure, malicious actors are interested into compromising ICSnot only for advanced and targeted attacks, but also in the context of more frequent network scanning and mass exploiting of directly Internet-exposed devices. To understand the level of interest towards Internet-connected ICS, we deploy a scalable network of low-interaction ICS honeypots based on the popular conpot framework, integrated with an analysis pipeline, and we analyze the in-the-wild traffic directed through a set of ICS-specific protocols. We present the results of running our honeypots for several months, showing that, although most of the traffic is originated by known, legitimate network scanners, and follows patterns similar to those of well-known ICS network mapping scripts, we found several requests from unknown actors that do not follow this pattern and may hint at malicious traffic.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
