Zeek Ethercat Parser - CISA ICSNPP

ICSNPP-ETHERCAT

Industrial Control Systems Network Protocol Parsers (ICSNPP) - Ethercat.

Overview

ICSNPP-Ethercat is a Zeek plugin for parsing and logging fields within the Ethercat protocol.

This plugin was developed to be fully customizable. To drill down into specific Ethercat packets and log certain variables, users can add the logging functionality to scripts/icsnpp/ethercat/main.zeek. The functions within scripts/icsnpp/ethercat/main.zeek and src/events.bif are good guides for adding new logging functionality.

This parser produces eight log files. These log files are defined in scripts/icsnpp/ethercat/main.zeek.

• ecat_registers.log
• ecat_log_address.log
• ecat_dev_info.log
• ecat_aoe_info.log
• ecat_coe_info.log
• ecat_foe_info.log
• ecat_soe_info.log
• ecat_arp_info.log

For additional information on these log files, see the Logging Capabilities section below.

Installation

Installing Zeek

Package Manager

This script is available as a package for Zeek Package Manger

zkg refresh
zkg install icsnpp-ethercat

If this package is installed from ZKG, it will be added to the available plugins. This can be tested by running zeek -N. If installed correctly, users will see ICSNPP::ETHERCAT.

If ZKG is configured to load packages (see @load packages in quickstart guide), this plugin and these scripts will automatically be loaded and ready to go. ZKG Quickstart Guide

If users are not using site/local.zeek or another site installation of Zeek and want to run this package on a packet capture, they can add icsnpp/ethercat to the command to run this plugin's scripts on the packet capture:

git clone https://github.com/cisagov/icsnpp-ethercat.git
zeek -Cr icsnpp-ethercat/tests/traces/ethercat_example.pcap icsnpp/ethercat

Manual Install

To install this package manually, clone this repository and run the configure and make commands as shown below.

git clone https://github.com/cisagov/icsnpp-ethercat.git
cd icsnpp-ethercat/
./configure
make

If these commands succeed, users will end up with a newly created build directory that contains all the files needed to run/test this plugin. The easiest way to test the parser is to point the ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to this build directory.

export ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH=$PWD/build/
zeek -N # Ensure everything compiled correctly and you are able to see ICSNPP::ETHERCAT

Once users have tested the functionality locally and it appears to have compiled correctly, they can install it system-wide:

sudo make install
unset ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH
zeek -N # Ensure everything installed correctly and you are able to see ICSNPP::ETHERCAT

To run this plugin in a site deployment, users will need to add the line @load icsnpp/ethercat to the site/local.zeek file to load this plugin's scripts.

If users are not using site/local.zeek or another site installation of Zeek and want to run this package on a packet capture, they can add icsnpp/ethercat to the command to run this plugin's scripts on the packet capture:

zeek -Cr icsnpp-ethercat/tests/traces/ethercat_example.pcap icsnpp/ethercat

If users want to deploy this plugin on an already existing Zeek implementation and don't want to build the plugin on the machine, they can extract the ICSNPP_ETHERCAT.tgz file to the directory of the established ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH (default is ${ZEEK_INSTALLATION_DIR}/lib/zeek/plugins/).

tar xvzf build/ICSNPP_Ethercat.tgz -C $ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH 

Logging Capabilities

Overview

This log captures register memory address read and writes ecat_registers.log.

This log is also the catch all. Before it gets to this point it is sent through more parsing routines to pull out any other information (i.e., CoE, AoE, FoE, EoE, and SoE mailbox data).

Register_Addr	string	Memory address being accessed
data	string	Data to be read or wrote to memory address

ECAT Address read write (ecat_log_address.log)

Overview

This log captures Logical Read and writes to addresses and logs them to ecat_log_address.log.
