Description

This module generates a dynamic executable on the session host using .NET templates.
Code is pulled from C# templates and impregnated with a payload before being
sent to a modified PowerShell session with .NET 4 loaded. The compiler builds
the executable (standard or Windows service) in memory and produces a binary
which can be started/installed and downloaded for later use. After compilation the
PoweShell session can also sign the executable if provided a path the a .pfx formatted
certificate.
