Description
Executes an arbitrary command on a Windows on ARM (AArch64) target.
This payload is a foundational example of position-independent shellcode for the AArch64 architecture.
It dynamically resolves the address of the `WinExec` function from `kernel32.dll` by parsing the
Process Environment Block (PEB) and the module's Export Address Table (EAT) at runtime.
This technique avoids static imports and hardcoded function addresses, increasing resilience.
