Hello,
I have a bit of a situation, and I think I know the answer but this font of knowledge may prove something.
I want to do the unthinkable.
We have a machine where the supplier has gone bust and to this date we cannot find anyone who has a copy of the PLC program, they are either lying or it actually doesnt exist. The PLC is password protected in TIA V14 (I think 14, could be 15) and I cannot upload from it, get online to it, anything.
S7300 PLC. In TIA.
I have tried an old back door method using wire shark to capture the password in plain text but that loophole seems to be closed now. No surprise.
Is there anything I can do? I just want a backup so we dont run blind waiting for the machine to fail....
