Abstract

Modern civilization unconditionally depends on information systems. It is paradoxical but true that ICS/SCADA systems are the most insecure systems in the world. From network to application, SCADA is full of configuration issues and vulnerabilities. During our presentattion, we will demonstrate how to obtain full access to a plant via:

  • a sniffer and a packet generator
  • FTP and Telnet
  • Metasploit and oslq
  • a webserver and a browser

About 20 new vulnerabilities in common SCADA systems including Simatic WinCC will be revealed in the report.

Releases:

  • modbuspatrol (mbpatrol) - free tool to discover and fingerprint PLC
  • Simatic WinCC security checklist
  • Simatic WinCC forensic checklist and tools
  • close to real life attack scenario of a Simatic WinCC based plant
