Description

This module will bypass Windows UAC by hijacking a special key in the Registry under
the current user hive, and inserting a custom command that will get invoked when
Window backup and restore is launched. It will spawn a second shell that has the UAC
flag turned off.

This module modifies a registry key, but cleans up the key once the payload has
been invoked.
