ICSNPP-OPCUA_Binary

Industrial Control Systems Network Protocol Parsers (ICSNPP) - OPC Unified Architecture Binary (OPC UA Binary).

Overview

ICSNPP-OPCUA_Binary is a Zeek plugin for parsing and logging fields within the OPC Unified Architecture Binary protocol.

The OPC Unified Architecture defines three data encodings: - OPC UA Binary, OPC UA XML, and OPC UA JSON. This plugin targets the OPC UA Binary encoding.

Specification details can be found on the OPC Foundation Org website located here

The initial implementation of the parser focuses on logging the message type and the service request and response headers, along with any diagnostic and error information that may be present. The service numeric identifier and associated identifier string are also logged; however, the details of the service being called have been stubbed out for most of the services. Future development on the parser will focus on filling out this information.

This parser produces a variety of different log files. An overview of these log files can be found in the Logging Capabilities section below.

Installation

Package Manager

This script is available as a package for Zeek Package Manger

zkg refresh
zkg install icsnpp-opcua-binary

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 you will see ICSNPP::OPCUA_Binary.

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/opcua-binary to the command to run this plugin's scripts on the packet capture:

git clone https://github.com/cisagov/icsnpp-opcua-binary.git
zeek -Cr <sample packet capture> icsnpp/opcua-binary

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-opcua-binary.git
cd icsnpp-opcua-binary/
./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::OPCUA_Binary

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::OPCUA_Binary

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

zeek -Cr <sample packet capture> icsnpp/opcua-binary

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

tar xvzf build/ICSNPP_OPCUA_Binary.tgz -C $ZEEK_PLUGIN_PATH
