Description

Fetch and execute an x86 payload from an FTP server.

Listen for a connection from certain IP and spawn a command shell.
The shellcode will reply with a RST packet if the connections is not
coming from the IP defined in AHOST. This way the port will appear
as "closed" helping us to hide the shellcode.
