Distributed Energy Resources: Home System

(Lab) In this advanced level module, take a deep dive into the SunSpec Modbus protocol and management software of a simulated home Distributed Energy Resource system to understand how to attack and harden one of the fastest growing ICS sectors. After completing this chapter you will be able to

• Inspect registers to identify SunSpec Modbus devices
• Scrape SunSpec devices with third-party software to gain detailed information about every register
• Use a VOLTTRON server as a pivot point into a control network
• Exploit and mitigate a remote code execution vulnerability
• Use a reverse proxy to limit the attack surface of a server
• Overwrite a Modbus registers to cause physical damage in the system
