Abstract

In this work, a high-fidelity virtual testbed modeling a networked diesel generator, similar to those used commercially and by the military, is described. This testbed consists of a physical system model of a generator, a digital control system, a remote monitoring system, and physical and networked connections. The virtual testbed allows researchers to emulate a cyber-physical system and perform cyber attacks against the system without the monetary and safety risks associated with a testbed created from physical components. The testbed was used to feasibly simulate network, hardware Trojan, and software Trojan attacks against the diesel generator, and to observe the cyber and physical outcomes.
