Caldera for OT Plugin

MITRE Caldera™ for OT plugin: Profinet

A Caldera for OT plugin supplying MITRE Caldera™ with Profinet protocol TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK® for ICS v14. This is part of a series of plugins that provide added threat emulation capability for Operational Technology (OT) environments.

Currently this plugin provides coverage for functions within the Profinet Discovery and Basic Configuration Protocol (DCP) service. DCP supports configuration of Profinet devices via link-layer communications. Profinet devices typically use DCP on system start-up to identify network addresses of target endpoints.

Full Profinet plugin documentation can be viewed as part of fieldmanual, once the Caldera server is running.
