SANS developed the Five ICS/OT Critical Controls as a practical framework for detecting, responding to, and recovering from known operational technology attacks. These controls have become the industry baseline, yet many organizations struggle to verify that they function as intended.

For years, kernel exploitation was synonymous with executing shellcode in Ring 0. You hijacked the control flow, ran your payload, and walked away with a SYSTEM or root shell.
Today, the landscape is violently different. With the widespread enforcement of SMEP, SMAP, kCFI, and virtualization-based security (VBS/HVCI), traditional control-flow hijacking has become fragile, computationally expensive, or entirely obsolete. If we can no longer safely execute our own code in the kernel, how do we win?
