You can set up any number of softIOC's or even build the stand alone Area Detector simDetector as a known to be working environment to test (network) security hardening.  Why would you even need real hardware? That isn't what your testing.

That is probably one of the simplest real world examples to use  for testing as it is also a configuration that you can impact/crash by doing net scans across open ports.

Subject: benchtop testbeds for EPICS development and testing?

Hello folks,

I'm wondering if anyone has advice about a good set of hardware/software for a small testbed to develop/debug EPICS (core)?
Alternately, if you have a reasonably generic method for EPICS development, I would be interested to know about it. This is in relation to planning my security hardening project, which will focus on EPICS 7.0+.

I'm interested in generally well-used IOCs that are supported by multiple OS targets, commonly used networking hardware (Serial+VME?) or Industry Packs, and a small, safe control application or simulator (virtual LINAC demo?).  I would like to cover all the supported OS targets with some common hardware that is still commercially available.
