LED
The payload should use common payload states rather than unique color/pattern combinations when possible with an LED command preceding the Stage or NETMODE.
LED SETUP
NETMODE NAT
Common payload states include a SETUP, with may include a FAIL if certain conditions are not met. This is typically followed by either a single ATTACK or multiple STAGEs. More complex payloads may include a SPECIAL function to wait until certain conditions are met. Payloads commonly end with a CLEANUP phase, such as moving and deleting files or stopping services. A payload may FINISH when the objective is complete and the device is safe to eject or turn off. These common payload states correspond to LED states.
