IndustrialXPL-Forge (IXF)

The World's Largest OT/ICS/SCADA Security Assessment & Exploitation Framework Part of the XPL-Forge suite | Author: André Henrique (@mrhenrike) | União Geek

PyPI version Python License: MIT CI Modules Vendors Protocols MITRE ATT&CK ICS Platform

Python-First. Pure Python implementation — install and run with a single pip install.


Quick Start

pip install industrialxpl
ixf

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/mrhenrike/IndustrialXPL-Forge
cd IndustrialXPL-Forge
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ixf.py

What is IXF?

IndustrialXPL-Forge is a modular, Python-native security assessment and exploitation framework for Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, HMI, PLC, RTU, DCS, and IIoT environments.

It covers the complete attack lifecycle:

OSINT → Discovery → Fingerprint → Vulnerability Check → Exploit → Report

Key features:

  • Python-First: all core functionality works with pip install industrialxpl — external runtimes (C, Go, Java) are optional accelerators with Python fallbacks built in
  • SafeMode by default: every module runs in simulate mode — prints payload without sending
  • MITRE ATT&CK for ICS v19: 79 techniques mapped, ttp T0843 192.168.1.100 syntax
  • CVE coverage: 3,300+ ICS/OT CVEs from CVSS 0.1 to 10.0
  • 50 vendors: Siemens, Schneider, Rockwell, ABB, Honeywell, Emerson, WEG, and more
  • 50 protocols: Modbus, S7comm, EtherNet/IP, DNP3, BACnet, IEC-104, OPC UA, PROFINET, and more

Usage Examples

# Open the IXF interactive shell
ixf

# Load and run a module (simulate mode by default — safe)
ixf > use scanners/ics/modbus_detect
ixf > set target 192.168.1.100
ixf > check

# Search for modules
ixf > search siemens
ixf > search CVE-2015-5374
ixf > search modbus

# Execute a TTP-ID against a target
ixf > ttp T0843 192.168.1.100          # Program Download — all modules
ixf > ttp T0878 10.0.0.0/24            # Alarm Suppression — subnet sweep
ixf > ttp-list --tactic evasion        # List all Evasion TTP-IDs

# MITRE ATT&CK for ICS sweep
ixf > mitre-scan discovery 192.168.1.0/24
ixf > mitre-scan evasion 192.168.1.100
ixf > mitre-all 192.168.1.100          # All 79 techniques (simulate by default)
ixf > mitre-coverage                   # Show coverage % per tactic

# CVE-specific modules
ixf > cve CVE-2026-25895               # FUXA SCADA pre-auth RCE
ixf > cve CVE-2015-5374               # Siemens SIPROTEC4 DoS
ixf > cve-scan 192.168.1.0/24         # Discover assets + test all CVEs

# Generate reports
ixf > report json
ixf > mitre-report layer               # ATT&CK Navigator JSON layer

SafeMode / DestructiveMode

Every module defaults to simulate mode — it prints what it WOULD do without sending any packets.

ixf (FrostyGoop) > run                 # SIMULATE: prints payload, no send
ixf (FrostyGoop) > set simulate false
ixf (FrostyGoop) > set destructive true
ixf (FrostyGoop) > run                 # LIVE: shows banner + requires confirmation

Impact levels require proportional confirmation:

  • INFO/READ: automatic
  • LOW: simple warning
  • MEDIUM: press Enter
  • HIGH: type yes
  • CRITICAL: type the full confirmation string
  • CATASTROPHIC: type string + wait 10 seconds

All destructive operations are logged to .log/destructive_ops_YYYY-MM-DD.log.


Python-First Policy

Tier Type Examples Required?
0 Python stdlib socket, struct, select Always
1 pip install pymodbus, scapy, rich, requests Yes
2 pip extras asyncua, cpppo, python-can Optional
3 External runtimes ruby, node, java, gcc, go Optional — Python fallback always available

All SCADA framework modules are implemented natively in Python — no additional tools required.
