Session
Pipelines frozen, breweries brought to a standstill: recent incidents prove that a single rogue packet can topple an entire production line. In this four-hour, hardware-first workshop, you’ll wield CompatriOT, a palm-sized “pocket-plant” built for safe yet realistic experimentation. Trace its control traffic, shove the process off balance with live protocol abuse, and craft detection logic to spotlight your own mischief. The session culminates in a lightning CTF, stabilize the plant faster than anyone else, and you’ll walk away with the pocket-plant itself, plus a ready-to-run lab image for post-conference exploration.
