tftp.exe is not arbitrary, it's a known executable in a known location. If
Windows installed in a arbitrary directory (ie if it picked a random string
for the directory name during install) this would not be the case and so it
would make hacking via this technique a whole lot tougher. Encrypting the
registry entry data for the firewall, even if it's only complicated
obfuscation can make it a whole lot tougher as well.

Windows doesn't need to be hackproof, it just needs to be a nightmare to
hack, once it's not any fun to hack the hackers will move to something
else. But if you make it easy, well then the path of least resistance..

   If you have code running that can run an arbitrary EXE like tftp than you
already own the machine.  You are trying to contrive something complicated
only to try and show that your complicated scenario is a sham.
