A curated collection of tools, data, literature, and resources for Industrial Control System (ICS) and SCADA security.
Awesome Industrial Control System Security is a curated list of resources dedicated to the cybersecurity of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks. It aggregates tools, research papers, educational materials, threat intelligence, and conference information to help professionals secure critical infrastructure like power grids, manufacturing plants, and water treatment facilities. The project addresses the unique challenges of protecting operational technology environments from cyber threats.
ICS/SCADA security professionals, penetration testers specializing in operational technology, industrial control system engineers, cybersecurity researchers focusing on critical infrastructure, and students entering the field of industrial cybersecurity.
It provides a single, community-vetted source for discovering specialized tools and knowledge that are often scattered across the internet. Unlike generic security resource lists, it is specifically tailored to the protocols, architectures, and threat models of industrial control systems, saving practitioners significant research time.
A curated list of resources related to Industrial Control System (ICS) security.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Features a wide range of specialized tools like ISF for exploitation frameworks and GRASSMARLIN for network mapping, specifically tailored for ICS environments as shown in the README tables.
Includes everything from introductory YouTube videos on MODBUS to advanced frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, supporting continuous learning across skill levels.
Aggregates data sources such as DEF CON PCAPs and SCADAPASS password lists, curated by the security community for practical threat analysis.
Categorizes resources into tools, data, conferences, and literature, making it easy to navigate and find materials for specific ICS security tasks.
As a static GitHub list, it may contain outdated or broken links, and there's no clear indication of when resources were last verified or maintained.
While it lists tools and frameworks, it doesn't provide integrated workflows or examples, leaving users to figure out deployment and integration independently.
Resources are added by contributors without a rating system, so users must independently assess the usefulness and security of each tool or paper.
