Factory Zero: Chain of Compromise

An informant has granted access to a smart factory network developing a highly classified project. Your objective is to simulate an attacker navigating through interconnected industrial systems and uncovering critical weaknesses. Beginning with an initial foothold, you will perform network scanning to identify active hosts and services, interact with Modbus-controlled devices, and manipulate system states to influence operations. As you progress, you will pivot across multiple machines, chaining together vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. This lateral movement will allow you to escalate access and move deeper into the network. Ultimately, your goal is to compromise critical infrastructure components and successfully extract the final flag, demonstrating a complete attack path.
