ICSNPP-DNP3

Industrial Control Systems Network Protocol Parsers (ICSNPP) - DNP3.

Overview

ICSNPP-DNP3 is a Zeek package that extends the logging capabilities of Zeek's default DNP3 protocol parser.

Zeek's default DNP3 parser logs DNP3 traffic to dnp3.log. This log file remains unchanged. This package extends DNP3 logging capability by adding two new DNP3 log files:

• dnp3_control.log
• dnp3_objects.log

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

Installation

Package Manager

This script is available as a package for Zeek Package Manger

zkg refresh
zkg install icsnpp-dnp3

If you have ZKG configured to load packages (see @load packages in quickstart guide), this script will automatically be loaded and ready to go. ZKG Quickstart Guide

If you are not using site/local.zeek or another site installation of Zeek and just want to run this script on a packet capture you can add icsnpp-dnp3 to your command to run this script on the packet capture:

git clone https://github.com/cisagov/icsnpp-dnp3.git
zeek -Cr icsnpp-dnp3/tests/traces/dnp3_example.pcap icsnpp-dnp3

Manual Install

To install this script manually, clone this repository and copy the contents of the scripts directory into ${ZEEK_INSTALLATION_DIR}/share/zeek/site/icsnpp-dnp3.

git clone https://github.com/cisagov/icsnpp-dnp3.git
zeek_install_dir=$(dirname $(dirname `which zeek`))
cp -r icsnpp-dnp3/scripts/ $zeek_install_dir/share/zeek/site/icsnpp-dnp3

If you are using a site deployment, simply add echo @load icsnpp-dnp3 to your local.site file.

If you are not using site/local.zeek or another site installation of Zeek and just want to run this package on a packet capture you can add icsnpp-dnp3 to your command to run this plugin's scripts on the packet capture:

zeek -Cr icsnpp-dnp3/tests/traces/dnp3_example.pcap icsnpp-dnp3

Logging Capabilities

DNP3 Control Log (dnp3_control.log)

Overview

This log captures DNP3 Control Relay Output Block and Pattern Control Block data seen in SELECT-OPERATE-RESPONSE commands and logs them to dnp3_control.log.

DNP3 Control Relay Output Blocks can be controlled via DNP3 SELECT and OPERATE commands and are among the most common (and most impactful) DNP3 commands.

This log file contains all the relevant data for these SELECT and OPERATE commands (as well as the responses) and shows a more in-depth look at these commands and provides a much more detailed look as to what operational DNP3 commands are being sent.

Fields Captured:

Field	Type	Description
ts	time	Timestamp
uid	string	Unique ID for this connection
id	conn_id	Default Zeek connection info (IP addresses, ports)
block_type	string	Control_Relay_Output_Block or Pattern_Control_Block
function_code	string	Function Code (SELECT, OPERATE, RESPONSE)
index_number	count	Object Index #
trip_control_code	string	Nul, Close, or Trip
operation_type	string	Nul, Pulse_On, Pulse_Off, Latch_On, Latch_Off
execute_count	count	Number of times to execute
on_time	count	On Time
off_time	count	Off Time
status_code	string	Status Code

DNP3 Read Object Log (dnp3_read_objects.log)

Overview

This log captures DNP3 Read Object data seen in READ-RESPONSE commands and logs them to dnp3_objects.log.

DNP3 READ-RESPONSE commands are very common DNP3 commands and these responses contain a lot of useful information about the DNP3 devices.

Fields Captured

Field	Type	Description
ts	time	Timestamp
uid	string	Unique ID for this connection
id	conn_id	Default Zeek connection info (IP addresses, ports)
function_code	string	Function Code (READ or RESPONSE)
object_type	string	DNP3 Object type
object_count	count	Number of objects
range_low	count	Range (Low) of object
range_high	count	Range (High) of object
