MODBUS Server Diagnostic Mode (SCADA) (deprecated)
medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 3849
Synopsis
The remote host may give an attacker information useful for future attacks.
Description
The remote server is running the MODBUS protocol. This protocol is common on SCADA or process control networks. In addition, the PLC is running with 'Diagnostics' enabled. This is very dangerous, as it can give attackers information that can be used to exploit the machine.
