This repostory contains the source code of PLCTool, a Qt-based graphical tool used to analyze and debug PRIME / DLMS-based smart-meter networks, with special focus on the security of these deployments.
Currently, we support GNU/Linux and probably other Unix-based environments. Windows support is on its way.
This tool was presented in the talk Hacking Smart Meters of the RootedCON 2022, during which its use with the ATPL360-EK evaluation kit to send and receive data in PLC networks was demonstrated.
Leave it running during a full 24-hour cycle and click on the Credential Logger button. If the PRIME you are in is not particularly secure, you may be able to see a few low-level-security DLMS passwords in the credential logger.
Plugin build and usage guide can be found here: PLCTool plugin support
Sample plugins can be found here: PLCTool-Plugins
