Title: Development of Laboratory Exercise "cybersecurity of IIoT Protocols"
Keywords: cybersecurity, Industrial Internet of Things, Laboratory exercise, man-in-the-middle attack, Modbus, Secure Modbus

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present one of the laboratory exercises for students in the Technical University of Sofia. This lab explores the possibilities for conducting man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks in industrial networks when using one of the most widely spread protocols - Modbus and then explores the capabilities for protecting from MITM attacks by changing the communication protocol from Modbus to Secure Modbus.
