          This module exploits a remote command execution on the Legend Perl IRC Bot .
          This bot has been used as a payload in the Shellshock spam last October 2014.
          This particular bot has functionalities like NMAP scanning, TCP, HTTP, SQL, and
          UDP flooding, the ability to remove system logs, and ability to gain root, and
          VNC scanning.
