					This module exploits a feature of Splunk whereby a custom application can be
				uploaded through the web based interface. Through the 'script' search command a
				user can call commands defined in their custom application which includes arbitrary
				perl or python code. To abuse this behavior, a valid Splunk user with the admin
				role is required. By default, this module uses the credential of "admin:changeme",
				the default Administrator credential for Splunk. Note that the Splunk web interface
				runs as SYSTEM on Windows, or as root on Linux by default. This module has only
				been tested successfully against Splunk 5.0.
