The present invention generally relates to a log analyzing system and a log analyzing method, and particularly relates to a log analyzing system which analyzes the communication logs of a control system of plant facilities, and extracts communication logs based on unauthorized access.
Without limitation to plant facilities, a control system utilizing computers is being widely used in various fields such as automobiles and household appliances. Furthermore, pursuant to the advancement of IT, control systems are now able to input/output information via a network. Meanwhile, in line with this, unauthorized access to control systems through malwares and DoS attacks are increasing. Thus, various technologies are being proposed for protecting control systems from unauthorized access.
It is difficult to check, one by one, the huge amounts of communication logs sent to the control system, and detect unauthorized access. Thus, PTL 1 discloses a technology of preparing a plurality of templates to process the communication logs, and reducing the amount of communication logs to be confirmed for preventing unauthorized access based on with which template the communication log had matched.
[PTL 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-153721
Nevertheless, with the invention described in PTL 1, because the pattern of communication logs of the control system would change considerably depending on the operation mode of the control system, there were limitations to begin with in defending the control system from unauthorized access using templates. Here, the term “pattern” refers to, for instance, the characteristic of communication logs when focusing on the frequency. Moreover, a pattern of communication is hereinafter referred to as a “communication pattern”.
The present invention proposes a log analyzing system and a log analyzing method capable of more effectively defending a control system from unauthorized access.
In order to solve the foregoing problems, the present invention provides a log analyzing system which analyzes a communication log of a control device, the log analyzing system comprising: a network device which receives a communication packet corresponding to the communication log from a network; and a monitoring device which monitors communication to the network device, wherein the monitoring device obtains a difference between a communication pattern of the communication packet and a stable pattern, which is a pattern of a communication in a state of no unauthorized access, restores the communication packet based on the difference, and notifies the restored communication packet.
The present invention additionally provides a log analyzing method in a log analyzing system which analyzes a communication log of a control device, wherein the log analyzing system comprises: a network device which receives a communication packet corresponding to the communication log from a network; and a monitoring device which monitors communication to the network device, and wherein the log analyzing method comprises: a first step of the monitoring device obtaining a difference between a communication pattern of the communication packet and a stable pattern, which is a pattern of a communication in a state of no unauthorized access; a second step of the monitoring device restoring the communication packet based on the difference; and a third step of the monitoring device notifying the restored communication packet.
According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a log analyzing system and a log analyzing method capable of more effectively defending a control system from unauthorized access.
An embodiment of the present invention is now explained in detail with reference to the appended drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by the ensuing embodiments.
(1-1) Configuration of Log Analyzing System According to this Embodiment
The control device 10 is an element which controls an object to be controlled such as a plant facility, and is not limited to a single device, and there are a plurality of control devices 10 as represented with 101 to 10n illustrated in
The network device 20 is a device such as a router or a layer 2 switch which performs network control of the log analyzing system, and comprises a packet replication module 201, a first communication module 202, a second communication module 203 which communicates with the monitoring device 30, and a third communication module 204. The term “module” is a unit which realizes a control function, and is realized by a program and/or hardware.
The packet replication module 201 replicates a communication packet 1200 (refer to
The monitoring device 30 is a device which monitors the communication logs of a control system in plant facilities or the like, and comprises a communication module 301, a communication packet acquisition module 302, a pattern extraction module 303, an abnormal pattern extraction module 304, an abnormal packet restoration module 305, an output module 306, a communication packet storage module 307, a stable pattern storage module 308, an abnormal packet storage module 309 and a mode management module 310.
The communication module 301 communicates with the network device 20, the communication packet acquisition module 302 acquires the communication packet 1200 which is input to the monitoring device 30, and the pattern extraction module 303 extracts a pattern of the communication packet 1200 acquired by the communication packet acquisition module 302.
The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 extracts an abnormal pattern included in the communication packet 1200 acquired by the communication packet acquisition module 302, and the abnormal packet restoration module 305 restores the communication packet 1200 corresponding to the abnormal pattern extracted by the abnormal pattern extraction module 304.
The term “pattern” refers to a manner of communication based on a combination of a plurality of communication logs, and, for instance, is identified by subjecting a plurality of communication logs to Fourier transform. The term “abnormal pattern” refers to a pattern based on a plurality of communication logs associated with unauthorized access through malwares and DoS attacks. An abnormal pattern can be extracted by being compared with a pattern in an environment where it is possible to assume that there is no unauthorized access to the control system.
The foregoing environment is, for instance, an operational status such as a trial condition of the control system in which the operation of the control system is calmer than a normal operational status. This operational status is hereinafter referred to as the “stable operational status”. When the control device is in a normal operational status (or operating condition), there is a possibility of various types of unauthorized access because the control device is active, but when the control device is in a stable operational status (or trial condition), it can be assumed that there is hardly any risk of unauthorized access, or the risk of unauthorized access is small, in comparison to the normal operational status.
A communication pattern in the foregoing state is hereinafter referred to as a “stable pattern” in association with the stable operational status. The monitoring module can extract an abnormal pattern among the communication patterns by comparing the communication patterns with the stable pattern.
A state where it is possible to assume that there is no unauthorized access to the control system is, for instance, a state where minimum required control commands have been input to the control device 10 (this state is hereinafter referred to as “during the trial run of the control system”).
The communication packet storage module 307 stores the communication packet 1200 acquired by the communication packet acquisition module 302, and the stable pattern storage module 308 stores the stable communication pattern 1300 (refer to
The abnormal packet storage module 309 stores the abnormal packet restored by the abnormal packet restoration module 305, and the mode management module 310 manages the operation mode of the monitoring device 30. There are two types of operation modes; specifically, a default mode and an active mode. The default mode is an operation mode of the monitoring device 30 for acquiring a stable pattern, and the active mode is an operation mode of the monitoring device 30 for acquiring an abnormal pattern.
When the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 is set to the default mode by the mode management module 310, the monitoring device 30 and the log analyzing system become a trial condition, and when the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 is set to the active mode by the mode management module 310, the monitoring device 30 and the log analyzing system become an operating condition.
For example, the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 is set to the default mode by the mode management module 310 when specific minimum required control commands are input to the control device 10. Moreover, for example, the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 is set to the active mode by the mode management module 310 in cases other than the default mode.
Note that the method of setting the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 is not limited to the foregoing method and, for example, the default mode may be set upon activating the monitoring device 30, or the default mode may be set upon the monitoring device 30 receiving an external electrical signal from a switch or the like.
Moreover, it is also possible to prevent the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 from being set to the default mode during the abnormal packet extraction processing SP35 (refer to

The I/O device 12 is a keyboard, a mouse and a display or the like, and the user creates control commands by using the I/O device 12. Moreover, the I/O device 12 may also be an LED and a push button or the like.
The memory 15 comprises a control processing module 101, and the CPU 14 calls the control processing module 101 to perform control processing. Upon performing control processing and upon creating control commands, various types of tables related to control commands stored in the storage device 13 are used.
The communication device 21 is a first communication device 211, a second communication device 212, a third communication device 213 or the like, and the first communication device 211 comprises a first communication module 202, the second communication device 212 comprises a second communication module 203, and the third communication device 213 comprises a third communication module 204. Note that the communication device 21 is not limited to three devices, and the network device 20 may also comprise four or more communication devices 21.
For example, the control device 101 may be connected to the first communication device 211 via the network 40, the monitoring device 30 may be connected to the second communication device 212, and the control device 10n may be connected to the third communication device 213.
The memory 25 comprises a packet replication module 201, and the CPU 24 calls the packet replication module 201 to perform packet replication processing for replicating the communication packet 1200. The storage device 22 stores tables and the like that are used for the packet replication processing.
The I/O device 23 is a keyboard, a mouse and a display or the like, and the user may use the I/O device 23 to add additional information to the communication packet 1200 to be replicated or change the information of the transmission destination. Moreover, the I/O device 23 may also be an LED and a push button or the like.

Moreover, the I/O device 32 may also be an LED and a push button or the like.
The memory 35 comprises a communication packet acquisition module 302, a pattern extraction module 303, an abnormal pattern extraction module 304, an abnormal packet restoration module 305, an output module 306 and a mode management module 310. The storage device 33 comprises a communication packet storage module 307, a stable pattern storage module 308 and an abnormal packet storage module 309. The CPU 34 calls the respective modules stored in the memory 35 and performs monitoring processing. The respective modules stored in the storage device 33 are used upon performing monitoring processing.
(1-2) Log Analyzing Function
The log analyzing function of the log analyzing system according to this embodiment is now explained. The log analyzing function is realized, for example, by a program stored in the storage device 33 of the monitoring device 30 being loaded into the memory 35, and executed by the CPU 34.
Moreover, the respective programs may be stored in the storage device 33 in advance, or loaded as needed via another storage medium or communication medium (network or carrier waves that propagate through a network).
The mode management module 310 of the monitoring device 30 sets the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 to the default mode. Here, when the operation mode cannot be set to the default mode or the subsequent processing will be executed without the operation mode being set to the default mode, the subsequent processing may be cancelled.
The control device 101 creates a control command with the control processing module 1011, and sends the control command to the network device 20 via the communication module 1021 (SP11). The packet replication module 201 of the network device 20 acquires the control command from the control device 101 via the first communication module 202, and replicates the control command as the communication packet 1200.
The second communication module 203 sends, to the monitoring device 30, the control command that was replicated by the packet replication module 201 (SP12). The third communication module 204 sends, to the control device 10n, the control command that was replicated by the packet replication module 201 (SP13).
When the communication packet acquisition module 302 of the monitoring device 30 acquires the control command via the communication module 301, the communication packet acquisition module 302 acquires the reception time and the reception size, and stores the communication packet 1200 in the communication packet storage module 307.
When the control processing module 101n of the control device 10n acquires the control command via the communication module 102n, the control processing module 101n performs processing based on the control command, and returns a reply to the control command to the network device 20 via the communication module 102n (SP14).
When the packet replication module 201 of the network device 20 acquires, via the third communication module 204, the reply to the control command sent from the control device 10n, the packet replication module 201 replicates the reply to the control command.
The replicated reply to the control command is sent to the monitoring device 30 via the second communication module 203 (SP15). Moreover, the replicated reply to the control command is sent to the control device 101 via the first communication module 202 (SP16).
When the communication packet acquisition module 302 of the monitoring device 30 acquires the reply to the control command via the communication module 301, the communication packet acquisition module 302 acquires the reception time and the reception size, and stores the communication packet 1200 in the communication packet storage module 307.
The communication packet acquisition module 302 of the monitoring device 30 determines whether the trial run has ended, for instance, as a result of the monitoring device 30 receiving an external electrical signal from a switch or the like, instructions being given based on control commands through communication, or, when the number of communication packets to be transmitted/received is predetermined, such number of communication packets being transmitted/received.
After storing the communication packet 1200 in the communication packet storage module 307, the communication packet acquisition module 302 determines whether the trial run has ended (SP24). The communication packet acquisition module 302 returns to step SP21 upon obtaining a negative result in the foregoing determination, and repeats the processing of step SP21 to step SP23 until a positive result is obtained in step SP24. Based on this repetitive processing, the monitoring device 30 acquires the communication packet 1200 during the trial run of the log analyzing system.
When the communication packet acquisition module 302 obtains a positive result in step SP24 as a result of the trial run being ended, the pattern extraction module 303 performs the pattern extraction processing of extracting the stable pattern shown in
The pattern extraction module 303 acquires the communication packet 1200 from the communication packet storage module 307 (SP251). The communication packet 1200 acquired by the pattern extraction module 303 in the foregoing case may be all communication packets 1200 stored in the communication packet storage module 307, or the communication packet 1200 corresponding to a predetermined data volume.
The pattern extraction module 303 generates data along a time series indicating the transmission/reception time and size of the acquired communication packet 1200 (SP252). Note that the information to be indicated together with the transmission/reception time is not limited to the transmission/reception size, and may also be the number of transmissions/receptions of the communication packet 1200 at such point in time or the amount of communication packets 1200 corresponding to a specific data size.
The pattern extraction module 303 subjects the generated time series data to frequency conversion, and generates information of the frequency and its strength (influence) distribution (SP253). Note that, for the frequency conversion, methods such as FFT (fast Fourier transform) may be used.
The pattern extraction module 303 stores, in the stable pattern storage module 308, the frequency and its strength (influence) included in the frequency-converted data as a stable pattern (SP26). The mode management module 310 sets the operation mode of the monitoring device 30 to the active mode (SP27), and the monitoring device 30 ends the communication pattern storage processing. Note that, upon setting the operation mode, the communication packet 1200 stored in the communication packet storage module 307 may be deleted.
Because the flow of execution processing during the operation of the log analyzing system according to the first embodiment is basically the same as the sequence diagram shown in
During operation, the mode management module 310 does not change the setting. Moreover, the monitoring device 30 performs the abnormal packet storage processing shown in
After storing the communication packet 1200 in the communication packet storage module 307, the communication packet acquisition module 302 determines whether a given period of time has elapsed from the setting of the operating condition (SP34). Note that the condition of determination in step SP34 is not limited to the lapse of a given period of time, and, for instance, the condition of determination may also be whether the monitoring device 30 received an external electrical signal from a switch or the like, whether instructions were given based on control commands through communication, or, when the number of communication packets to be transmitted/received is predetermined, whether such number of communication packets were transmitted/received.
The communication packet acquisition module 302 returns to step SP31 upon obtaining a negative result in the foregoing determination, and repeats the processing of step SP31 to step SP3 until a positive result is obtained in step SP34. Based on this repetitive processing, the monitoring device 30 acquires the communication packet 1200 during the operation of the log analyzing system.
When the communication packet acquisition module 302 obtains a positive result in step SP34 as a result of a given period of time having elapsed, the abnormal pattern extraction module 304 performs the abnormal packet extraction processing of extracting the abnormal packet shown in
The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 acquires the communication packet 1200 from the communication packet storage module 307 (SP351). The communication packet 1200 acquired by the pattern extraction module 303 in the foregoing case may be all communication packets 1200 stored in the communication packet storage module 307, or the communication packet 1200 corresponding to a predetermined data volume.
The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 generates data along a time series indicating the transmission/reception time and size of the acquired communication packet 1200 (SP352). Note that the information to be indicated together with the transmission/reception time is not limited to the transmission/reception size, and may also be the number of transmissions/receptions of the communication packet 1200 at such point in time or the amount of communication packets 1200 corresponding to a specific data size.
The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 subjects the generated time series data to frequency conversion, and generates information of the frequency and its strength (influence) distribution (SP353). Note that, for the frequency conversion, methods such as FFT (fast Fourier transform) may be used.
The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 acquires the stable pattern stored in the stable pattern storage module 308 (SP354). The abnormal pattern extraction module 304 extracts an abnormal pattern by comparing the frequency-converted time series data and the acquired stable pattern and extracting the difference thereof (SP355).
The abnormal packet restoration module 305 restores the abnormal packet based on the abnormal pattern extracted by the abnormal pattern extraction module 304 (SP356). In effect, the abnormal packet restoration module 305 acquires information of time and size by subjecting the abnormal pattern to inverse frequency conversion such as inverse FFT (inverse fast Fourier transform).
The abnormal packet restoration module 305 restores the abnormal packet by using the acquired information of time and size and the communication packet 1200 acquired by the abnormal pattern extraction module 304 from the communication packet storage module 307.
The abnormal packet restoration module 305 stores the restored abnormal packet in the abnormal packet storage module (SP36). The output module 306 outputs the abnormal packet restored by the abnormal packet restoration module 305 to a screen of a display or the like (SP37), and the monitoring device 30 ends the abnormal packet storage processing.

Moreover, the order of the constituent elements of the monitoring screen 1000 is not limited to the order described above.
The abnormal monitoring screen 1100 is a screen which is output by the output module 306, and comprises an abnormal packet overview 1101, abnormal packet details 1102 and a transition button 1103. While the abnormal packet overview 1101 is a graph in which the horizontal axis is the date/time information and the vertical axis is the number of abnormal packets per unit time, the abnormal packet overview 1101 is not limited thereto, and, for instance, the vertical axis may be the size information.
The abnormal packet details 1102 include the date/time information and the source/destination information of abnormal packets, and the data information which was actually transmitted/received, but the abnormal packet details 1102 are not limited thereto. Note that the constituent elements of the abnormal monitoring screen 1100 are not limited those described above, and it will suffice so as long as the foregoing elements are at least included. Moreover, the order of the constituent elements of the abnormal monitoring screen 1100 is not limited to the order described above.
Note that, in the foregoing explanation, while the monitoring screen 1000 and the abnormal monitoring screen 1100 were described as separate screen displays, the abnormal packet overview 1101 and the abnormal packet details 1102 may be displayed in substitute for the transition button 1004 of the monitoring screen 1000.
The constituent elements of the communication packet 1200 are not limited those described above, and it will suffice so as long as the foregoing elements are at least included. Moreover, the order of the constituent elements of the communication packet 1200 is not limited to the order described above.
The communication pattern 1300 is configured from a cycle 1301 in which communication is generated, and influence 1302 as the strength indicating the ratio occupied by the data configuring the cycle 1301. Here, the constituent elements of the communication pattern 1300 are not limited to those described above, and it will suffice so as long as the foregoing elements are at least included. Moreover, the order of the constituent elements of the communication pattern 1300 is not limited to the order described above.
Here, assuming that 1 Hz (influence is 15), 5 Hz (influence is 10), 10 Hz (influence is 5) and 15 Hz (influence is 10) were acquired as the communication patterns 1300, and assuming that the stable pattern is 1 Hz (influence is 15), 5 Hz (influence is 10) and 15 Hz (influence is 10), 10 Hz (influence is 5) is extracted as the abnormal pattern.
