This report includes an analysis of the ISaGRAF framework, its architecture, the IXL and SNCP protocols that are used to program and control ISaGRAF-based devices and to communicate with them. Since authentication data is encrypted with a preset symmetric key, the attacker could decrypt an intercepted target (device) password.
