Schneider Modicon Remote START/STOP Command
Description
The Schneider Modicon with Unity series of PLCs use Modbus function code 90 (0x5a) to perform administrative commands without authentication. This module allows a remote user to change the state of the PLC between STOP and RUN, allowing an attacker to end process control by the PLC. This module is based on the original 'modiconstop.rb' Basecamp module from DigitalBond.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
