Developed a specialized software utility to directly interface with the memory of Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 PLCs for advanced security management.
Core Functionality:
Read/Access: Retrieve and display the user subroutine and master password hashes/values directly from the PLC's memory.
Clear/Reset: Securely erase or nullify existing passwords to regain access to locked systems.
Write/Modify: Program new authentication credentials directly onto the controller.
Key Technical Achievement: Established a direct Ethernet/IP communication protocol to perform low-level memory operations, bypassing the need for traditional software clients for access recovery.
