SCADA Named

SCADA literacy names supervisory acquisition, alarming, trending, and operator displays on YOUR $OT_LAB — defensive OT literacy only; no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks.

SCADA Named literacy. $OT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.

SCADA is the operator window — literacy teaches what it does and how defenders segment it, not how to hijack live HMIs.

SCADA aggregates field data, drives alarms, and presents operator screens. Cyberlium names acquisition, alarming, trending, and display roles on fictional LAB-OT-001 — defensive monitoring and conduit control only. Cyberlium Topic 38 practices on $OT_LAB — YOUR fictional OT templates, zone diagrams, and labeled checklists under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t38-ot/ no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks. Next: PLC HMI Named.

1. What SCADA Named covers (named)

SCADA functions: data acquisition, alarm management, trending/historians, setpoints via change control. Do not confuse SCADA with generic IT apps. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

Write SCADA role row for fictional supervisory server. Acquisition, alarming, display — LAB labels only. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

Command guide

Try these commands — What SCADA Named covers (named)

═══ LINUX / macOS (Terminal Practice) ═══

Check system state and user context

Command — copy this

id
whoami
uname -a

Inspect network sockets listening for connections

Command — copy this

ss -tuln 2>/dev/null || netstat -tuln

Audit active processes

Command — copy this

ps aux | grep -v "\[" | head -15

═══ WINDOWS (POWERSHELL) ═══ Query user identity and system information

Command — copy this

whoami /all
Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsName, OsVersion

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: CISA SCADA (https://www.cisa.gov/topics/industrial-control-systems); NIST SP 800-82 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-82/rev-3/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Why SCADA Named matters for defenders

SCADA availability affects operations visibility. Monitor conduits and remote access into SCADA zones. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

Students document SCADA role cards on lab notes. Production follows vendor and operations docs. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

3. $OT_LAB boundary

Forbidden: overriding live SCADA tags without authorization. Allowed: SCADA literacy card on fictional plant. On $OT_LAB, document literacy rows on fictional LAB-OT-001 — never live plant IPs, credentials, or exploit steps.

Ship: SCADA role card. Next: PLC HMI Named.

4. What you ship: scada named card for $OT_LAB

SCADA literacy names supervisory acquisition, alarming, trending, and operator displays. $OT_LAB named. NEVER real-plant attack steps. chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date (UTC). SCADA Named card. $OT_LAB named. File t38-m02-l02-scada-named.txt chmod 600.

6. Wrong vs right: plant attacks vs YOUR OT lab sims

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong: Practice tag writes on employer live historian.
  • Right: Write scada named card for YOUR $OT_LAB. Next: PLC HMI Named.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: document SCADA Named on YOUR OT lab

1) Name literacy rows on $OT_LAB. 2) Write NEVER list (no real-plant attacks, unauthorized OT scans, or exploit cookbooks). 3) chmod 600. Never scan or exploit real industrial networks.
