ICS Sensor Traffic Simulator

This tool simulates network traffic typical of an Industrial Control System (ICS) environment. It generates synthetic Modbus/TCP packets to help test monitoring and intrusion detection systems.

Features

• Generates random internal IP addresses (192.168.1.x).
• Simulates common Modbus function codes (Read Coils, Write Registers, etc.).
• Outputs data to a CSV log file.

Quick Start

To use this tool, run the simulator:

# Run for 30 seconds and save to traffic.log
python lab_runner.py ics-sim --duration 30 --output traffic.log

Output Format

The generated CSV file contains the following columns:

• timestamp: Time of the event.
• source_ip: IP sending the request.
• dest_ip: Destination PLC IP (fixed at 192.168.1.100).
• protocol: Protocol used (MODBUS/TCP).
• function_code: Modbus function code used.
• register_address: Target register.
• value: Value read/written.
