Error Correction Attacks on BACnet MS/TP

Abstract

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) collect information from various sensors through routine processes, using the data collected to control the physical environments. However, from the industrial control perspective, the reliability in the communication between sensors and edge node devices is in question. This paper looks at the specific threats of physical layer attacks on BACnet systems and how an adversary can physically manipulate an MS/TP network to cause an error.
