Windows Net-NTLMv2 Reflection DCOM/RPC

Module utilizes the Net-NTLMv2 reflection between DCOM/RPC to achieve a SYSTEM handle for elevation of privilege. Currently the module does not spawn as SYSTEM, however once achieving a shell, one can easily use incognito to impersonate the token.

Mitigation:

Patch MS16-075, apply security updates
