Since 2010, multiple cyber incidents on industrial infrastructure, such as Stuxnet and CrashOverride, have exposed the vulnerability of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to cyber threats. The industrial systems are commissioned for longer duration amounting to decades, often resulting in non-compliance to technological advancements in industrial cybersecurity mechanisms. The unavailability of network infrastructure information makes designing the security policies or configuring the cybersecurity countermeasures such as Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) challenging. An empirical solution is to self-learn the network infrastructure information of an industrial system from its monitored network traffic to make the network transparent for downstream analyses tasks such as anomaly detection. In this work, a Python-based industrial communication paradigm-aware framework, named PROFINET Operations Enumeration and Tracking (POET), that enumerates different industrial operations executed in a deterministic order of a PROFINET-based industrial system is reported. The operation-driving industrial network protocol frames are dissected for enumeration of the operations. For the requirements of capturing the transitions between industrial operations triggered by the communication events, the Finite State Machines (FSM) are modelled to enumerate the PROFINET operations of the device, connection and system. POET extracts the network information from network traffic to instantiate appropriate FSM models (Device, Connection or System) and track the industrial operations. It successfully detects and reports the anomalies triggered by a network attack in a miniaturized PROFINET-based industrial system, executed through valid network protocol exchanges and resulting in invalid PROFINET operation transition for the device.
