What are the Caldera for OT plugins?

The Caldera for OT plugins unify and expose open-source OT protocol libraries in the form of protocol specific plugins:

  • bacnet - for the Building Automation and Control Networks (BACnet) protocol
  • dnp3 - for the Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
  • modbus - for the Modbus protocol

Each plugin contains the following documentation:

  • High-level README.md
  • Source code specific README.md (located under /src)
  • Caldera Field Manual documentation (located under /docs)

What is the motivation for the plugins?

The Caldera for OT plugins enable adversary emulation in the OT environment, which supports traditional Caldera use cases. For example, training and testing of operators and defenses.
