Description

This module attempts to create a new login session by
invoking the su command of a valid username and password.

If the login is successful, a new session is created via
the specified payload.

Because su forces passwords to be passed over stdin, this
module attempts to invoke a psuedo-terminal with python,
python3, or script.
