This framework provides security tools for authorized testing and hardening of ICS/OT environments only. Always:

• Obtain written authorization before scanning any network
• Test in development/lab environments before production deployment
• Follow your organization's change management procedures
• Ensure all testing complies with local laws and regulations

When using this framework:

• Store scan reports securely (they contain sensitive network data)
• Use environment variables for credentials, never hardcode
• Keep the framework and all dependencies updated
• Review generated firewall rules before applying to production
