Overview of this book

The industrial cybersecurity domain has grown significantly in recent years. To completely secure critical infrastructure, red teams must be employed to continuously test and exploit the security integrity of a company's people, processes, and products. This is a unique pentesting book, which takes a different approach by helping you gain hands-on experience with equipment that you’ll come across in the field. This will enable you to understand how industrial equipment interacts and operates within an operational environment. You'll start by getting to grips with the basics of industrial processes, and then see how to create and break the process, along with gathering open-source intel to create a threat landscape for your potential customer. As you advance, you'll find out how to install and utilize offensive techniques used by professional hackers. Throughout the book, you'll explore industrial equipment, port and service discovery, pivoting, and much more, before finally launching attacks against systems in an industrial network. By the end of this penetration testing book, you'll not only understand how to analyze and navigate the intricacies of an industrial control system (ICS), but you'll also have developed essential offensive and defensive skills to proactively protect industrial networks from modern cyberattacks.

Chapter 1: Using Virtualization

This first chapter touches on the relevance of virtualization and the importance of familiarizing yourself with the different flavors, including VirtualBox, Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, and more. However, in this book, we are going to focus on VMware, and specifically ESXi Hypervisor, as it is free and a scaled version of what you will see out in the real world when it comes to production. We are going to spin up Hypervisor in efforts to create our own lab, install a handful of virtual machines (VMs), and attempt to mimic a virtual Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) environment.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding what virtualization is
  • Discovering what VMware is
  • Turning it all on
  • Routing and rules
