Abstract :
A Profinet IO network of class A uses standard Ethernet network components. If these network components can be attacked by e.g. a man-in-the-middle attack, this is also the case for Profinet 10. This paper outlines these possibilities and shows, how this may be used to build IO-device emulators for system-testing.
