## Description
|
|
|
|
Eiri Masami split Protocol Seven across three industrial control systems before his death.
|
|
The encryption key hides in BACnet harmonics. The encrypted payload lives on OPC-UA.
|
|
The initialization vector is stored in an EtherNet/IP controller.
|
|
|
|
No single system reveals the truth. Cross-reference all three protocols. Reconstruct Protocol Seven.
|
|
|
|
Become one with the Wired.
|
|
|
|
**Ports:**
|
|
- 47809/udp: BACnet/IP
|
|
- 4841/tcp: OPC-UA Binary
|
|
- 44819/tcp: EtherNet/IP
|
|
|
|
Format: **ESPILON{flag}**
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
Read 8 BACnet AnalogValue harmonics (integer parts spell `Eiri_Key`). Read OPC-UA for the
|
|
32-byte encrypted payload and hints pointing to BACnet and EtherNet/IP. Read EtherNet/IP
|
|
for the rotation nonce (3). XOR the payload with the 8-byte repeating key, then rotate right
|
|
by the nonce to recover the flag.

## Tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| Python 3 + `BAC0` | BACnet/IP read |
|
|
| Python 3 + `asyncua` | OPC-UA anonymous read |
|
|
| Python 3 + `cpppo` | EtherNet/IP tag read |
|

## Solution
|
|
|
|
### Step 1 — Port discovery
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nmap -sU -p 47809 <HOST> # BACnet
|
|
nmap -p 4841,44819 <HOST> # OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All three ports are open.
|
|
|
|
### Layer 1 — BACnet key extraction
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import BAC0
|
|
|
|
bacnet = BAC0.lite(ip="<YOUR_IP>/24")
|
|
bacnet.whois("*:47809")
|
|
# → Device:7777 "Protocol-Seven-Key"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Device description: *"Key Harmonic Array — integer components matter"*
|
|
|
|
Read all 8 harmonics:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
harmonics = []
|
|
for i in range(8):
|
|
val = bacnet.read(f"7777 analogValue {i} presentValue")
|
|
harmonics.append(int(val)) # truncate float to integer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Object | presentValue | int | Char |
|
|
|--------|-------------|-----|------|
|
|
| AnalogValue:0 | 69.14 | 69 | E |
|
|
| AnalogValue:1 | 105.92 | 105 | i |
|
|
| AnalogValue:2 | 114.37 | 114 | r |
|
|
| AnalogValue:3 | 105.68 | 105 | i |
|
|
| AnalogValue:4 | 95.44 | 95 | _ |
|
|
| AnalogValue:5 | 75.81 | 75 | K |
|
|
| AnalogValue:6 | 101.22 | 101 | e |
|
|
| AnalogValue:7 | 121.55 | 121 | y |
|
|
|
|
**XOR key = `Eiri_Key`**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Layer 2 — OPC-UA payload extraction
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
from asyncua import Client
|
|
|
|
async def get_payload():
|
|
async with Client("opc.tcp://<HOST>:4841/protocol7/") as c:
|
|
ns_array = await c.get_namespace_array()
|
|
# Find urn:protocol-seven:payload
|
|
ns = ns_array.index("urn:protocol-seven:payload")
|
|
|
|
vault = await c.nodes.root.get_child(
|
|
[f"0:Objects", f"{ns}:Protocol7_Vault"])
|
|
|
|
payload = await vault.get_child(f"{ns}:Payload_Encrypted")
|
|
iv_hint = await vault.get_child(f"{ns}:IV_Hint")
|
|
|
|
return (await payload.get_value()), (await iv_hint.get_value())
|
|
|
|
payload_bytes, iv_hint = asyncio.run(get_payload())
|
|
# iv_hint: "Rotation offset from CIP controller — read NONCE tag"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Layer 3 — EtherNet/IP nonce extraction
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from cpppo.server.enip.get_attribute import proxy_simple as device
|
|
|
|
with device(host="<HOST>", port=44819) as via:
|
|
nonce = via.read("NONCE") # = 3
|
|
check = [via.read(f"Assembly_Check[{i}]") for i in range(3)]
|
|
# check = [47809, 4841, 44819] confirms all three ports
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rotation nonce = 3**
|
|
|
|
### Decryption
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
key = b"Eiri_Key"
|
|
nonce = 3
|
|
|
|
# Step 1: XOR with repeating 8-byte key
|
|
xored = bytes(payload_bytes[i] ^ key[i % 8] for i in range(32))
|
|
|
|
# Step 2: rotate right by nonce (undo left rotation used during encryption)
|
|
flag_bytes = xored[-nonce:] + xored[:-nonce]
|
|
|
|
flag = flag_bytes.rstrip(b'\x00').decode()
|
|
print(flag)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Key insights
|
|
|
|
- Device description *"integer components matter"* directs you to truncate float to int
|
|
- OPC-UA hints explicitly name BACnet and EtherNet/IP as sources for key and nonce
|
|
- `Assembly_Check = [47809, 4841, 44819]` confirms the three-protocol architecture
|
|
- `Eiri_Key` (8 chars = 64-bit) as the XOR key is a lore-consistent choice
