Brackwater
Chemical batch reactor. OPC UA, Suricata and Wazuh for detection engineering.
Brackwater is the chemical batch reactor lab in the Mindrock learning zone. Work with the R-101 process, its control software and OPC UA communication, then trace security evidence through Suricata and Wazuh.
Explore the OPC UA address space, follow events into the Wazuh manager, indexer and dashboard, and develop and tune detection rules. Compare alerts with network observations and process history to understand what the available evidence does and does not establish.
The physical process and safety system are simulated. The lab does not demonstrate independent safety-rated protection. Detection results must be interpreted within the visibility and limits of the configured environment.
Mindrock focuses on detection engineering: connecting an alert to observed traffic and process evidence. In Brackwater, a quiet sensor does not by itself establish that the plant is quiet.
