Detect the HTTP RPC endpoint mapper

Vulnerability Assessment Summary

This endpoint mapper provides CIS (COM+ Internet Services)
parameters like port 135 (epmap) for RPC.

Deny incoming traffic from the Internet to TCP port 593
as it may become a security threat in the future, if a
vulnerability is discovered.
