Description

PhoenixContact Programmable Logic Controllers are built upon a variant of ProConOS. Communicating using a proprietary protocol over ports TCP/1962 and TCP/41100 or TCP/20547. It allows a remote user to read out the PLC Type, Firmware and Build number on port TCP/1962. And also to read out the CPU State (Running or Stopped) AND start or stop the CPU on port TCP/41100 (confirmed ILC 15x and 17x series) or on port TCP/20547 (confirmed ILC 39x series)

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
