NO, because of:

➡ typical network devices with default/crappy settings
➡ unpatched, old as dirt, full of junk software [malware] engineering
workstations
➡ wireless AP with WEP (if the best happend)
➡ low physical security
➡ … and

• not blocked by firewalls/switches
• accessible between LAN segments
• works from data link layer to application layer
• easy to detect

• main interesting fields for playing is option and suboption
• for example, set/get network info: opt 0x01, subopt 0x02
• led flashing: opt 0x05, subopt 0x03

so we can:
• 	scan profinet supported devices and stations
• 	change name of station
• 	change ip, netmask, gateway
• 	request full network info
• 	LED flashing: PLC, HMI (simulates that smth wrong with device)

What is SECRET ?
51SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms		 	 	 	 	 	 	 CONFIDENCE 2014
# it’s a cookie time !

!
PRNG is a little bit harder than standard C PRNG.

!
SEED in {0x0000 , 0xFFFF}

!

52SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms		 	 	 	 	 	 	 CONFIDENCE 2014
# it’s a cookie time !
What about SEED ?

SEED very often depends on time value

!
SEED = PLC START TIME + 320

!
320 by practical way: secret generates after ~ 3-4 seconds of PLC start using current time

!
!
How to obtain PLC START TIME ?

!
!
!
PLC START TIME = CURRENT TIME – UPTIME

* 100 - calculation lapse

!
!
To generate cookie we should brute:

• logout number (2 bytes, max 65535)

• number of issued cookies (2 bytes, max 65535)

• seed value (2 bytes, but max 100)

!
!
Still too many values to bruteforce …
55SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms		 	 	 	 	 	 	 CONFIDENCE 2014
# it’s a cookie time !
But if user (admin) not logged out properly then after 7 logins it is not possible to login again

!
We should restart PLC or wait 30 minutes (cookie expire time)

!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
We can minimize logout and issued cookies counters to 7

To generate cookie we should brute:

• logout number (2 bytes, max 7)

• number of issued cookies (2 bytes, max 7)

• seed value (2 bytes, but max 100)

• Because we know all about that versions of protocol.

• But we know next to nothing about “another” S7.

# How to analyse protocols?
Use your knowledge about protocols:
!
• 	it’s a universal and complex approach
• 	you can:
• detect devices and their protocols
• monitor state, commands, exchanging data
• inject, modify, reply packets in real-time
!
!
Because most of them INSECURE BY DESIGN
!
