GridPot is a honeypot framework designed for industrial control systems (ICS) security research and attack detection. The tool integrates three key components: GridLAB-D for power grid simulation, Conpot as the honeypot platform, and libiec61850 for IEC 61850 protocol support. The framework simulates realistic industrial environments by combining power system modeling capabilities with honeypot functionality. GridLAB-D provides the underlying power flow simulation engine, while Conpot handles the honeypot operations and attack detection mechanisms. The libiec61850 library enables support for the IEC 61850 communication protocol commonly used in electrical substations and power systems. GridPot requires several dependencies including autoconf, automake, libtool, subversion, python-dev, mysql-server, python-mysqldb, xerces-c, and libcurl. The setup process involves configuring MySQL database, installing Conpot with Python setup tools, building GridLAB-D from source using autotools, and compiling libiec61850 with make commands. The tool allows security researchers to deploy realistic industrial control system environments that can attract and analyze attacks targeting critical infrastructure. It provides capabilities for monitoring unauthorized access attempts, protocol manipulation, and other malicious activities directed at power grid systems.
