Description

This module will bypass Windows UAC by utilizing the trusted publisher
certificate through process injection. It will spawn a second shell that
has the UAC flag turned off by abusing the way "WinSxS" works in Windows
systems. This module uses the Reflective DLL Injection technique to drop
only the DLL payload binary instead of three seperate binaries in the
standard technique. However, it requires the correct architecture to be
selected, (use x64 for SYSWOW64 systems also).
