✏️ Editing: http-dlink-backdoor.nse

description = [[
Detects a firmware backdoor on some D-Link routers by changing the User-Agent
to a "secret" value. Using the "secret" User-Agent bypasses authentication
and allows admin access to the router.

The following router models are likely to be vulnerable: DIR-100, DIR-120,
DI-624S, DI-524UP, DI-604S, DI-604UP, DI-604+, TM-G5240

In addition, several Planex routers also appear to use the same firmware:
BRL-04UR, BRL-04CW
