Challenge Prompt

One of the engineers noticed that an HMI was going haywire.

He took a packet capture of some of the traffic but he canโ€™t make any sense of itโ€ฆ it just looks like gibberish!

For some reason, some of the traffic seems to be coming from someoneโ€™s computer. Can you help us figure out whatโ€™s going on?
