# CCS sniffing: Some try-outs with Python and network adaptor low-level communication
|
|
|
|
## Goal
|
|
This project tries to use cheap powerline network adaptors for communication with electric cars charging system.
|
|
|
|
There are three different use cases, where this project can be helpful:
|
|
1. Sniffing the traffic between an CCS charger and a car. For instance to measure which side is the limiting element for reduced charging power.
|
|
2. Building a charger for CCS or for AC with digital communication.
|
|
3. Building a charging unit for a car which does not support powerline communication.

## Quick start / overview
|
|
- Modify a PLC adaptor hardware, that it runs on battery
|
|
- Modify the configuration of the PLC adaptor, that it supports HomePlug Green Phy including the SLAC.
|
|
- Install wireshark to view the network traffic
|
|
- Install Pcap-ct python library
|
|
- Patch Pcap-ct to support non-blocking operation
|
|
- Run `python pyPlc.py` and use keyboard to trigger actions
|
|

|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Hardware preparation
|
|
See [Hardware manual](doc/hardware.md)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration of the PLC adaptor
|
|
The factory settings of the Homeplug PLC adaptor do not in all cases support the requirements of the communication
|
|
with the car. In detail, the adaptors are supporting HomePlugAV, but we need HomePlugGP (Green Phy). This is similar,
|
|
but not the same.
|
|
Fortunately, the supplier of the chipset is aware of this topic, and provides some smart helper tools.
|
|
http://github.com/qca/open-plc-utils
|
|
It is worth to read its documentation, starting in docbook/index.html, this contains all what we need for the next steps.
|
|
|
|
(Tested on Linux/Raspbian on a raspberryPi 3)
|
|
|
|
Find the PLC adaptor
|
|
```
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ int6klist -ieth0 -v
|
|
```
|
|
This shows the software version and the mac address.
|
|
|
|
Read the configuration from the PLC adaptor and write it to a file
|
|
```
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ plctool -ieth0 -p original.pib 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Read Module from Memory
|
|
```
|
|
Patch the configuration file (aee /docbook/ch05s15.html). For each side (pev (vehicle) and evse (charger)) there is a special configuration.
|
|
Example pev side:
|
|
```
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ cp original.pib pev.pib
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 74 hfid "PEV"
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib F4 byte 1
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 1653 byte 1
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 1C98 long 10240 long 102400
|
|
```
|
|
Write the configuration file to the PLC adaptor
|
|
```
|
|
pi@RPi3D:~ $ plctool -ieth0 -P pev.pib 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Start Module Write Session
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Flash pev.pib
|
|
...
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Close Session
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Reset Device
|
|
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Resetting ...
|
|
```
|
|
The open-plc-utils contain the programs evse and pev, which can be used for try-out of the functionality, using two PLC adaptors.

|
## Installation / Preconditions on PC side
|
|
### Usage on Windows10
|
|
|
|
1. Install python (windows automatically launches the installer if you type „python“ into the search field of the task bar)
|
|
2. Wireshark is already installed, this includes the pcap driver, which is necessary for low-level-network-interaction
|
|
|
|
Attention: There are (at least) three different python-libs available for pcap:
|
|
- Libpcap
|
|
- Pylibpcap (But: only Python2)
|
|
- Pypcap (recommented on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63941109/pcap-open-live-issue)
|
|
- Pcap-ct (https://pypi.org/project/pcap-ct/)
|
|
|
|
We use the last one.
|
|
python -m pip install --upgrade pcap-ct
|
|
This is fighting against the Libpcap-installation, so we need to deinstall the second:
|
|
python -m pip uninstall libpcap
|
|
Then again install pcap-ct, and finally add in the libpcap\_platform\__init__py the missing is_osx = False. (Is in the meanwhile fixed in the github repository.)
|
|
|
|
Finally, we need to patch the Pcap-ct, because the python script needs a non-blocking version. This is discussed in https://github.com/karpierz/pcap-ct/issues/9
|
|
|
|
Now, in the IDLE shall 3.10.6, the import works:
|
|
```
|
|
import pcap
|
|
sniffer = pcap.pcap(name=None, promisc=True, immediate=True, timeout_ms=50)
|
|
addr = lambda pkt, offset: '.'.join(str(pkt[i]) for i in range(offset, offset + 4))
|
|
for ts, pkt in sniffer:
|
|
print('%d\tSRC %-16s\tDST %-16s' % (ts, addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 12), addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 16)))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage on Raspberry
|
|
Pcap-ct does not work with Python 3.4. After update to Python 3.8, it works.
|
|
|
|
## Example flow
|
|
This chapter describes the start of a charging session, considering all layers.
|
|
|
|
Precondition: On charger side, there is a homeplugGP-capable device present, which is configured as CentralCoordinator.
|
|
1. The charger creates a "random" value for NID (network ID) and NMK (network membership key), and configures its homeplug modem with these values.
|
|
1. The charger provides 12V on the control pilot (CP) line (State A).
|
|
1. The user connects the plug into the car.
|
|
2. The car pulls the 12V at CP line to 9V (State B).
|
|
3. The charger sees the level change on CP and applies 5% PWM on CP.
|
|
4. The car sees the 5%, and interprets it as request for digital communication. It wakes up its communication controller and homeplug modem.
|
|
5. The car sees homeplug coordinator packets on the CP, and starts the SLAC sequence by sending SLAC_PARAM.REQ. Can be also two times.
|
|
6. The charger receives the SLAC_PARAM.REQ and confirms it with SLAC_PARAM.CNF.
|
|
7. The car sends START_ATTEN_CHAR.IND, to start the attenuation measurement. In total 3 times.
|
|
8. The car sends MNBC_SOUND.IND, to provide different sounds. In total 10 times.
|
|
8. The homeplug modem in the charger should measure the signal strength, and report the values to the SECC in an ethernet frame ATTEN_PROFILE.IND.
|
|
However, the used homeplug adaptor seems not to support this feature. That's why we need to "guess" some attenuation values for the next step.
|
|
9. The charger sends ATTEN_CHAR.IND, which contains the number of sounds and for each group the attenuation in dB. Pitfall: The car may ignore
|
|
implausible values (e.g. all zero dB), and the process may be stuck.
|
|
10. The car receives the ATTEN_CHAR.IND. If it would receive multiple of them from different chargers (due to cross-coupling), the car
|
|
decides based on the attenuation levels, which of the charges is the nearest.
|
|
11. The car sends ATTEN_CHAR.RSP to the charger which reported the loudest signals.
|
|
12. The car sends SLAC_MATCH.REQ to the charger. This means, it wants to pair with it.
|
|
13. The charger responds with SLAC_MATCH.CNF. This contains the self-decided NID (network ID) and NMK (network membership key).
|
|
14. The car receives the SLAC_MATCH.CNF, takes the NID and NMK from this message, and configures its homeplug modem with this data.
|
|
15. Now, the homeplug modems of the car and of the charger have formed a "private" Homeplug network. The RF traffic can only be decoded by
|
|
participants who are using the same NID and NMK.
|
|
16. The car wants to know the chargers IP address. In computer networks, a DHCP would be a usual way to do this. In the CCS world, a different
|
|
approach is used: SDP, which is the SECC discovery protocol. The DHCP may be also supported as fallback.
|
|
17. The car sends a broadcast message "Is here a charger in this network?". Technically, it is an IPv6.UDP.V2GTP.SDP message
|
|
with 2 bytes payload, which defines the security level expected by the car. In usual case, the car says "I want unprotected TCP.".
|
|
18. The charger receives the SDP request, and sends a SDP response "My IP address is xy, and I support unprotected TCP."
|
|
19. The car wants to make sure, that the IP addresses are unique and the relation between IP address and MAC address is clear. For
|
|
this, it sends a "Neighbour solicitation". (This looks a little bit oversized, because only two participants are in the local network, and
|
|
their addresses have already been exchanged in the above steps. But ICMP is standard technology.)
|
|
20. The charger responds to the neighbor solicitation request with a neighbor advertisement. This contains the MAC address of the charger.
|
|
In the case, we use this pyPLC project as charger, we rely on the operating system that it covers the ICMP. On Win10, this works perfectly,
|
|
the only thing we must make sure, that the MAC and IPv6 of the ethernet port are correctly configured in the python script. Use
|
|
`ipconfig -all` on Windows, to find out the addresses.
|
|
21. Now, the car and the charger have a clear view about addressing (MAC, IPv6).
|
|
22. The car requests to open a TCP connection to chargerIP at port 15118.
|
|
23. The charger, which was listening on port 15118, confirms the TCP channel. (Todo: not yet implemented)
|
|
24. Now, the car and the charger have a reliable, bidirectional TCP channel.
|
|
25. The car and the charger use the TCP channel, to exchange V2GTP messages, with EXI content.
|
|
26. The charger is the "server" for the EXI, it is just waiting for requests from the car. The car is the "client", it actively
|
|
initiates the EXI data exchange.
|
|
26. Todo: The car walks through different states to negotiate, start and supervise the charging process.

## Change history / functional status
|
|
### 2022-10-19 Communication with Ioniq car established
|
|
* Using a TPlink TL-PA4010P with firmware MAC-QCA7420-1.4.0.20-00-20171027-CS and the PIB configuration file patched for evse according to the open-plc-utils docu.
|
|
* Python software running on Win10, Python 3.10.8
|
|
* On control pilot, sending 5% PWM to initiate digital communication with the car
|
|
* Since the TPlink is configured as coordinator, it sends "alive" messages, and the IONIQ starts sending the SLAC_PARAM.REQ.
|
|
* Per keystroke, we trigger a SET_KEY before the car is connected. The TPlink responds with "rejected", but this is normal, the LEDs are turning off and on, key is accepted.
|
|
* Python script interprets the relevant incoming messages (SLAC_PARAM.REQ, MNBC_SOUND.IND, SLAC_MATCH.REQ) and reacts accordingly.
|
|
* After successfull SLAC sequence, all three LEDs on the TPlink are ON, means: Network is established.
|
|
* In wireshark, we see that the car is sending UDP multicast messages to destination port 15118. This looks like a good sign, that it wants a ISO15118 compatible communication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2022-10-19 Sniffing mode not yet working with the TPlink adaptors
|
|
* with a Devolo dLAN 200 AVplus, software INT6000-MAC-4-4-4405-00-4497-20101201-FINAL-B in original parametrization, it is possible
|
|
to see the complete SLAC traffic (both directions) which sniffing the communication between a real charger and a real car. This does
|
|
NOT work with the TPlink adaptors. They route only "their own" direction of the traffic to the ethernet. Means: The pev-configured device
|
|
does not see the real car, and the evse-configured device does not see the real charger. This is bad for sniffing.
|
|
|
|
### 2022-10-21 SLAC, SDP and ICMP are working
|
|
Using the TPlink and Win10 laptop as evse, the python script runs successfully the SLAC and SDP (SECC discovery protocol). Afterwards, the car uses
|
|
neighbor solicitation (ICMP) to confirm the IPv6 address, and the Win10 responds to it. The car tries to open the TCP on port 15118, this is failing
|
|
because of missing implementation of the listener on PC side.
|
|
|
|
## List of open topics
|
|
- add listener to socket at port 15118 (use case: evse)
|
|
- add evaluation of the TP packets (use case: sniffer)
|
|
- convert the EXI data to the readable xml (e.g. using https://github.com/FlUxIuS/V2Gdecoder, or https://github.com/Martin-P/OpenV2G)
|
|
- replace the fix-configured addresses (MAC, IP) in the python script by the real one from the operating system
|
|
- improve docu (add layer diagram, improve hardware docu, add link to evse which provides the 5% PWM)
|
|
- (and much more)
