To decrease the attack surface even further, enforce userID to only allow holding register reads from specific users. The log shows that the request failed and that it was attempting to read a coil register, which is not what we are allowing in the policy. We can use MBTGET to request to read a coil. In our appID rule, we are allowing read requests for holding registers only. In my example, I will add Modbus-base and Modbus-read-holding-registers as the only allowed applications to be used from the PollingZone into the PLCZone.Īfter running the MBTGET tool, review the logs to see the application recogniztion and that the policy allowed the action.

Here, we simply add the Modbus application and subfunctions that we want to allow. To move towards a more positive security posture, you can start by implementing appID. The value after “-n” should match the number of registers you created. The resulting poll should show the values you created in the holding registers within ModbusPal. To ensure the images are working properly, open a terminal window and initiate a poll using MBTGET. To clone the MBTGET tool, follow these instructions from a terminal or command prompt.Ī static route will need to be created on the laptop hosting the images in order to reach the PLC simulator. Optionally, the tool may be cloned onto a Kali Linux virtual machine.

You can download the free MAC/Windows client here: To use the MBTGET tool to simulate a polling server, you will need to clone the tool from GitHub. Click the Enable all button to ensure the slave is enabled. Add binary values and, optionally, names.Ĭlose the slave window when finished. Provide values and, optionally, names for the addresses you created.ĭo the same for the Coils tab. Under the Holding registers tab, add the amount of registers you would like to test. Name the new slave, then click the eye to populate. We will add a Modbus slave by selecting “Add” from the Modbus Slaves section. Once the requirements have been met, open a command window and go to the directory where ModbusPal resides and launch it as shown below. It requires the Java Runtime Environment. ModbusPal will be used to simulate PLC registers. Make sure it’s default gateway points to the firewall interface: 192.168.45.20.

On the Windows machine that will serve as the PLC devices, be sure to put it’s Ethernet interface in vmnet2 (on the PLCZone of the firewall).

For VMWare Fusion, the reserved default gateway IP is 192.168.55.2 on vmnet3.

All activity is logged and there are no profiles to configure at this point. Initial firewall policy will allow all applications between the polling zone and the PLC zone. To apply device licenses and registration: To configure the management IP address of the firewall, follow the instructions here: From the Fusion library, the VM50 firewall may now be launched. The package contents folder may be closed. Make sure to change the virtual device for ethernet2 to “vmxnet3” as shown below. vmx file and edit it with TextEdit or another text editor. You will then right-click on the VM file in the folder and select,”Show Package Contents”.įind the. In Fusion, go to the library and right-click on the VM50 and select “Show Config File in Finder”. The VM configuration file will need to be edited for the 3 rd network adapter. Note: do not power on the VM50 firewall yet, there are two important steps to do first.Ī third network adapter will need to be added in the VM50 firewall settings in VM Fusion. The example shown is for VM Fusion on a MAC, but the same principle applies to VM Workstation. The two networks used in the lab are labled vmet2 (for PLC zone) and vmnet3 (for Polling zone). Simulates polled PLC devices.Ĭlone from Github. VM Workstation for Windows can be used as well.

Tested with 10.12.6, requires Xcode environment (could install on a Kali Linux VM as well). This entire lab can be virtualized on a single laptop.

This document will show how to simulate the IT/OT boundary in order to test appID, userID, and other features within the Palo Alto Networks firewall. As enterprises endeavor to improve the security posture within ICS, there is a strong need to test before implementation. This satisfied initial requirements for visibility and packet inspection for malicious activity. The first step for many was to provide simple segmentation between the two networks using firewalls from Palo Alto Networks. Organizations with industrial control systems (ICS) have been on a path to secure the border between IT (corporate network) and OT (ICS network) for some time.
