Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

This script checks whether the remote host is running the Hacker
Defender backdoor.

Hacker Defender is a rootkit for Windows. Among other things, it hooks
itself into all open TCP ports on the system, listening for a
specially-crafted packet, and opening a backdoor on that port when
found. This backdoor can be used by malicious users to control the
affected host remotely.

Solution: Reinstall Windows.
Risk factor: Critical
