Monitoring detects unexpected write commands to heating control registers from an IP not associated with any authorized BMS controller. **Approach**: 1. Verify the source IP against the authorized Modbus master list 2. Check if any authorized maintenance or configuration change is in progress 3. Capture full Modbus transaction including register addresses and values being written 4. Compare written values against safe operating ranges for the heating equipment 5. If unauthorized, immediately block the source IP at the industrial firewall 6. Inspect the source device for compromise indicators (malware, unauthorized remote access) 7. Verify current setpoints on all affected controllers against known-good values 8. Restore safe setpoints if manipulation is confirmed **Pitfalls**: Modbus lacks authentication, so the source IP is the only identifier -- attackers can spoof IPs if ARP protections are not in place. Do not assume all writes are malicious; legitimate SCADA operations include writes. Always verify against the change management log before escalating. ## Output Format ``` MODBUS INJECTION DETECTION REPORT ==================================== Analysis Period: [start] to [end] Monitoring Point: [interface/SPAN description] TRAFFIC SUMMARY: Total Modbus Packets: [count] Read Operations: [count] Write Operations: [count] Unauthorized Writes Detected: [count] ALERTS: [CRITICAL] Unauthorized write from [IP] to PLC [IP] Function: Write Multiple Registers (FC 16) Registers: [start]-[end] MITRE: T0855 - Unauthorized Command Message BASELINE DEVIATIONS: New Modbus masters: [list] Unusual function codes: [list] Out-of-range register access: [list] RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: 1.
