Ladder logic

The devices tested by the Basecamp Project included the D20 PLC by GE, The Modicon Quantum by Schneider Electric, Rockwell and Koyo Electronics. Each device was tested using a number of additional attack vectors. Researchers attempted to upload custom firmware or so-called “ladder logic” for the device, looked for back door accounts, weak authentication, undocumented features that could be exploited and fuzzed each device for vulnerable services. Here, a grid presents the results of the tests. A green check means the device passed the test.
