Abstract
Rehosting is the process of porting a physical device to run in software. By rehosting operational technology (OT) devices, we are able to perform cyber analysis on critical infrastructure to protect from cyber attacks. Building upon MIT Lincoln Lab’s existing rehosting infrastructure, we were able to demonstrate the feasibility of cyber analysis on two Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to uncover existing and new vulnerabilities.
