We need to simply clone it from the github
Smod working
- Once cloned we need to enter into the specific directory and type python smod.py in terminal
- Then, type help you will be shown the options to explore the tools.
- As this tool is written based on metasploit framework it is easy to explore
- Type show modules to display the available modules and options for displaying the types.
- Finally use the use command and select commands to set and exploit the things.
- Exploit to see the coil and holding register value is changes
- This tool can only be use for exploring modbus protocol nad for changing the coils and holding register value
- This tool can be an offense if we try to exploit a real system with out granted permissions.
- For more details refer video
