Description

The Schneider Modicon with Unity series of PLCs use Modbus function code 90 (0x5a) to send and receive ladder logic. The protocol is unauthenticated, and allows a rogue host to retrieve the existing logic and to upload new logic. Two modes are supported: "SEND" and "RECV," which behave as one might expect -- use 'set mode ACTIONAME' to use either mode of operation. In either mode, FILENAME must be set to a valid path to an existing file (for SENDing) or a new file (for RECVing), and the directory must already exist. The default, 'modicon_ladder.apx' is a blank ladder logic file which can be used for testing. This module is based on the original 'modiconstux.rb' Basecamp module from DigitalBond.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
