The Iran Steel Industry Cyber Attack Explained

A Change In The Air

Iran’s steel Industry was hit by a hacktivist group calling themselves ”Goneshke Darande” [Predatory Sparrow] on June 27th, 2022. The attack focused specifically on three steel companies that are currently subject to international sanctions, Mobarakeh Steel Company, Hormozgan Steel Company, and Khuzestan Steel Industries. This blog will investigate the Khuzestan attack.

At 3:08:22 pm local time, a compromised internal plant camera at Khuzestan shows the loss of control and within 12 minutes the camera captured catastrophic failure. In the video it appears that there is a disruption in the vacuum degassing stage of the ladle metallurgy process where the molten steel in the ladle is under vacuum to remove dissolved gasses entrained in the steel before it gets poured. This is problematic because remnants of even a few parts per million of hydrogen gas remaining in the pour causes massive defects and drastic loss of structural integrity. 

The attackers posted images from the compromised ICS leading up to the event on their twitter account.

Screenshot posted by the threat actors before the attack

From this screenshot we can deduce that the Khuzestan Steel Factory was using a Siemens PCS7 Process Control System and based on the graphics it was most likely S7-400 controllers. Digging a little deeper into the OSINT (Open Source Intel) it appears that see that IRISA International Systems Engineering & Automation Company worked on designing and implementing various portions of the steel factory.

In my book Pentesting Industrial Control Systems under section 2 – Understanding the Cracks Chapter 4 – Open Source Ninja, I elaborate on the fact that gaining insight to openly available data for a client’s industry, process, employees, equipment, and technology is absolutely essential. Throughout the chapter I go on to caution companies and specifically blue teamers that monitor social media posts of employees and 3rd party vendors, as they might innocently and non-maliciously publish critical information related to your company’s production environment. 

The silver lining of this cyber incident is that no one was hurt and it may open more discussions on industrial cyber security awareness.

Agent for Mac

SafeDNS has released the new MacOS agent. For all Mac users, this means more efficient use of web filtering software and the option to filter separate devices, which differs agents from browser dashboard access.

The process shall be familiar, or simply intuitive for new users. First, you need to register on the website and adjust the settings in your personal account. The next step would be installing the Mac agent from the Support tab on the website or the Dashboard in the cabinet.

The agent enables filtering & allows you to switch between filtering profiles. It can be used within the same tariff on multiple devices. After installation, the agent starts automatically, asking the user for a pin code to change the settings in the agent.

There are several tabs in the agent.

The first tab, Policy, opens by default. In there you select a profile from the list by simply clicking on it.

By clicking on the second tab, System Information, you get a detailed list of system characteristics with network profiles and agent version, protection status, user filtering profiles and much more.

The Debug tab shows the state of interaction of agents with DNS proxy and the ability to send logs to our technical support, which will allow you to understand possible problems in the agent’s work.

On the top panel there is a button for switching the protection status allowing you to disable and enable filtering without logging out.

Below the title of the program there is a user panel that displays the account, IP address, tariff plan and, for most users who have a subscription with an expiration date, the end date of the tariff.

The agent will be available for download tomorrow.
