Siemens Profinet Scanner

Created

Description

This module will use Layer2 packets, known as Profinet Discovery packets, to detect all Siemens (and sometimes other) devices on a network. It is perfectly SCADA-safe, as there will only be ONE single packet sent out. Devices will respond with their IP configuration and hostnames.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/scada/profinet_siemens
msf auxiliary(profinet_siemens) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(profinet_siemens) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(profinet_siemens) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(profinet_siemens) > run 

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.
