Description

This module executes powershell on the remote host using the current
user credentials or those supplied. Instead of using PSEXEC over TCP
port 445 we use the WMIC command to start a Remote Procedure Call on
TCP port 135 and an ephemeral port. Set ReverseListenerComm to tunnel
traffic through that session.

The result is similar to psexec but with the added benefit of using
the session's current authentication token instead of having to know
a password or hash.

The remote host must be configured to allow remote Windows Management
Instrumentation.
