Abstract:

Since invented, Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) is widely used in Industrial Control Systems(ICS).With the gradual fusion of industrialization and informationization,more technology like smart hardware & the Internet of Things IoT was used in ICS, and more PLCs exposed on the Internet.For originally only for automation control without considering security, PLC was attacked by hacker have occurred sometimes,and caused substantial damage to real physical device. The paper simulated the reduction process of a new type attack on PLC. Hackers use tools to invade PLC. PLCs Which can be uploaded and downloaded code turn into the gateway. Then they use PLC as tools to access other ICS and information systems. Malicious code is long latent period and hard to moniter.It is hard to stop when the attack occurred. The paper provides the attack process for the analysis and research, and provide reference for the research of the PLC and ICS safety.

Key words: PLC, ICS, cyberspace attack
