# Tachibana SCADA -- Solution

## Overview
OPC-UA server simulating Tachibana General Laboratories' SCADA system.
The server allows anonymous connections (SecurityPolicy None) and contains
a hidden namespace with Eiri Masami's backdoor methods.

## Steps

### 1. Connect Anonymously
Connect to `opc.tcp://HOST:4840/tachibana/` without credentials.
The server accepts anonymous connections -- a common OT misconfiguration.

```python
from asyncua import Client
client = Client("opc.tcp://HOST:4840/tachibana/")
await client.connect()
```

### 2. Discover Namespaces
Read the `Server.NamespaceArray` to discover all registered namespaces:
- `ns=0`: OPC-UA standard
- `ns=1`: Server internal
- `ns=2`: `urn:tachibana:scada` (public SCADA data)
- `ns=3`: `urn:tachibana:eiri:kids` (hidden!)

```python
ns_array = await client.get_namespace_array()
```

### 3. Browse Public Namespace (ns=2)
Standard SCADA data: power distribution, cooling systems, Wired Interface Array.
Note `Resonance_Hz = 7.83` (Schumann resonance breadcrumb).

### 4. Browse Hidden Namespace (ns=3)
Navigate to `EiriMasami` folder:
- `KIDS_Project/` contains variables: `SubjectCount=0`, `Protocol7_Version="7.0.0-alpha"`, `Activation_Key="????????"`
- `Backdoor/` contains two methods: `Authenticate` and `ExtractResearchData`

### 5. Analyze Method Signatures
Read the `InputArguments` property of each method:
- `Authenticate(username: String, key_hash: ByteString) -> session_token: String`
- `ExtractResearchData(session_token: String, project_id: UInt32) -> data: String`

The `key_hash` description says: "16-byte truncated SHA-256 of the project name"

### 6. Derive Credentials
- **username**: `eiri` (from namespace URI `urn:tachibana:eiri:kids`)
- **key_hash**: `SHA256("KIDS")[:16]` (KIDS = project name from the namespace)

```python
import hashlib
key_hash = hashlib.sha256(b"KIDS").digest()[:16]
```

### 7. Authenticate
Call the `Authenticate` method with the derived credentials.
Returns a hex session token valid for 5 minutes.

### 8. Extract Protocol Seven
Call `ExtractResearchData` with the session token and `project_id=7`
(from `Protocol7_Version = "7.0.0-alpha"` -- project number 7).

Returns the flag.

## Key Insights
- The namespace URI `urn:tachibana:eiri:kids` directly contains the username ("eiri") and hash source ("kids")
- `Protocol7_Version = "7.0.0-alpha"` hints that `project_id = 7`
- Anonymous OPC-UA access is a real-world ICS misconfiguration
- Method argument descriptions provide hints about the expected input format

## Flag
`ESPILON{31r1_k1ds_pr0t0c0l_s3v3n}`
