description = [[
Checks if a NetBus server is vulnerable to an authentication bypass
vulnerability which allows full access without knowing the password.

For example a server running on TCP port 12345 on localhost with
this vulnerability is accessible to anyone. An attacker could
simply form a connection to the server ( ncat -C 127.0.0.1 12345 )
and login to the service by typing Password;1; into the console.

  -- one password. Thus, if we can login with two different
  -- passwords using super-login, the server is vulnerable.
