The systems integrator is a contractor who doesn't have a full knowledge of the product being installed.We believe that there are two possible reasons for this. Rarely is it ever disabled by the end user. In many cases, a default web interface, usually with administrative privileges, is active on the SCADA or ICS device. Most of these devices have been discovered using the commonly-known networking ports (web, telnet, and FTP are some of the more common ones SNMP appears to be growing as well). We continue to find more manufacturers monthly and continue adding/ingesting raw data into our database. The manufacturers of the devices that we uncovered include (but are not limited to):

Why these are connected to the Internet is a mystery to us. Some of the more interesting control applications we have uncovered are off-road mining trucks and crematoriums. data radios (point-to-point 2.4/5.8/7.8 GHz direct-connected radios).

So far we have collected over 1,000,000 unique IP addresses that appear to belong to either SCADA and control systems devices or related software products. The average number of new SCADA/ICS devices found every day is typically between 20. To date, we have not reached a baseline (aka, "the bottom") in the total number of devices we discovered. At the time we started, many people said that the answer to our question would be " very few, if any." It was initiated to determine a baseline of just how many SCADA/ICS devices and software products are directly connected to the Internet. Project SHINE development started mid-2008 and began ingesting raw data in mid-April 2012. So you can stay under the radar until you are ready to do something bad.ġ,000,000 SCADA and control systems devices on the Internet? Likely there is so much material there that you never actually have to visit the person’s website or Facebook page. To use the Google metaphor again, it is like spying on a person by simply looking at what is stored in Google. An adversary can conduct "indirect intelligence" gathering against a specific software application, hardware device, firmware, IP address, or some combination without ever visiting the target's network location.Īll he or she has to do is query the database. SHODAN’s massive database of header information is extremely useful for both the good guys and the bad guys. When we find these terms in the SHODAN database, we are pretty sure that SHODAN has found a SCADA/ICS product. So far we have just shy of 700 searchable terms and are adding more every week. Of course it is the PLCs and RTUs that interest us, so we have created specific search terms related to SCADA and ICS products. Think of it as Google for devices, rather than websites. This is all stored in an online accessible database. This header information often shows the type of software or device answering the request, what version it is, and if the device is patched (sometimes). And unless they are behind a firewall, most devices will respond, even if it is just to say "go away." It sends connection requests to those devices and records the header information from the devices if they respond. The SHODAN search engine works by searching for commonly used TCP/UDP port numbers (for more on port numbers read this blog), such as: Those devices can be computers, printers, switches, PLCs, SCADA RTUs, etc: anything with an IP address. We use an existing online search engine called SHODAN that scans the Internet looking for attached devices. Project SHINE (SHINE meaning SHodan INtelligence Extraction) was developed to extract information about the existence of SCADA and ICS devices accessible from the Internet. Eric Byres: One of the statements I continue to hear as I talk to executives, managers and engineers is "None of our SCADA or ICS equipment is accessible from the Internet." So this week’s blog contributor, Bob Radvanovsky, of explains Project SHINE – his effort to determine if this statement is fact or fiction.
