Abstract: The convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) has heightened risks for critical infrastructure (CI) and industrial control systems (ICS), leading to a surge in diverse and sophisticated OT attacks with severe consequences. Thus, this study combines the Diamond Model with the Cyber Kill Chain to analyze potential attack paths and methods in the GhostSec case, where attackers compromised a Berghof PLC to demonstrate their access capabilities. Understanding these attack paths offers valuable insights into adversary strategies, aiding in the development of defense measures to prevent similar attacks.
