Abstract
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are vulnerable systems, and attacks are currently being
carried out against them. Some of these attacks have never been seen before, and so the first
step in defending CPS is to understand what attackers are doing, and how they are doing it.
Traditionally, honeypots have been a tool used to gain this information, but honeypots
need to be convincing to fool attackers. For CPS, being convincing entails not only ad-
dressing networking concerns, but also modeling device actuation fingerprints and how the
attached process responds to actuations.
In order to create a convincing CPS honeypot, a framework was developed to address
the need to present convincing networking, device, and process fingerprints. Two proof of
concept systems were developed for this framework, and a set of proof of concept device
and process models were implemented.
