# current situation in ICS network security 
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 
➡ industrial protocols

# current situation in ICS network security 
How protocols live in the network ? 
! 
• full expanse 
• not blocked by firewalls/switches 
• accessible between LAN segments 
• works from data link layer to application layer 
• easy to detect 
• easy to intercept, analyse, reproduce and reply (but not all ! )

• 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)

addresses (publisher ~ sender, subscriber ~ receiver) 
• use VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q standard) 
• message priority level (by VLAN PCP - Priority Code Point - in TCI field of 
packet) 
• retransmission mechanism and a message state number (new or 
retransmitted)

vendors doesn’t require specific cables)

What is SECRET ?
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
57 
# it’s a cookie time! 
SECRET generates after PLC start by ~PRNG. 
! 
PRNG is a little bit harder than standard C PRNG.

SEED in {0x0000 , 0xFFFF} 
! 
! 
!

! 
! 
It’s too much for bruteforce (PLC so tender >_<)
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
58 
# 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 …
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
61 
# 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)

• End of July 2013 – vulnerability discovered 
• 5 August 2013 – vendor notified 
• 20 March 2014 – patch released, first public advisory
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014

# heartbleed 
• a lot of software, devices etc. of popular vendors affected 
• it’ll be long long story (because of patch management and devices with 
lifecycle ~10-15 yers) 
• check https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories for openssl vulns 
! 
Siemens also vulnerable (ICSA-14-105-03B): 
• eLAN-8.2 eLAN prior to 8.3.3 
•WinCC OA only V3.12

# S7 protocol 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
Standard port 102/TCP 
! 
By Siemens terms it is ISO-on-TCP (RFC 1006) based communication 
protocol
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
66 
# S7 protocol 
Materials: 
! 
• “Exploiting Siemens Simatic S7 PLCs” by Dillon Beresford 
• wireshark dissector 
• libnodave - free communication library 
• snap7 - open source communication suite 
• plcscan
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
67 
# S7 protocol 
• based on iso-tcp -> block oriented protocol 
• block - PDU (Protocol Data Unit) 
• functions and commands oriented -> each frame contains function request 
or reply to it 
! 
S7 commands: 
• plc start/stop cpu 
• firmware update 
• read/write data (blocks, tags) 
• system info 
• authentication 
• etc…
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
68 
# S7 protocol 
History of S7: 
• S5 Communication 
(FETCH/WRITE, Sinec H1) 
• S7 Communication 
• “Another” S7 Communication 
! 
Simply “another” S7 looks like: 
!! 
TCP : HEADER | ISO TCP 
! 
ISO TCP: TPKT | COTP | S7 PDU
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
69 
# S7 protocol 
• For old versions: 
wireshark dissectors, libraries, simulators. 
! 
• Because we know all about that versions of protocol. 
! 
• But we know next to nothing about “another” S7.

# tools recommendations 
! 
Protocol analysing involves: 
! 
• tcpdump, wireshark/tshark + dissectors (keep them up to date from 
original source) 
• hex editor 
• python, perl, etc. 
• scapy framework 
• tools like ncat, socat, strings, xxd 
• sysinternals suite 
• fuzzers (your own or for example Zulu fuzzer by NCC Group) 
• disassembler (not so often) 
! 
!
SCADA deep inside: protocols and security mechanisms HACK.LU 2014 
79 
# 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 
! 
real example?
