Abstract

This thesis aims to create a plugin for one of existing password recovery tools to extend its functionality to support encrypted messages of Wireless Meter Bus protocol. As a result, two plugins for the Hashcat tool have been implemented, supporting security modes 05 and 07 of Wireless M-Bus. Those modes are making use of the AES-128 encryption algorithm, so it is dealt with throughout this thesis. The resulting plugins are capable of speeds in range of tens to hundreds Mhash/s, which makes it unfeasible to check the whole AES-128 keyspace in a reasonable time. Nevertheless, if the searched keyspace is appropriately reduced, the created plugins make it possible to perform an security audit of the Wireless M-Bus deployment, which is required to be done by the specification.
