Powershell Exec, Hidden Bind Ipknock TCP Stager

Disclosed
N/A

Description

Execute an x86 payload from a command via PowerShell.

Listen for a connection. First, the port will need to be knocked from
the IP defined in KHOST. This IP will work as an authentication method
(you can spoof it with tools like hping). After that you could get your
shellcode from any IP. The socket will appear as "closed," thus helping to
hide the shellcode
