DESCRIPTION
Out-EncodedCommand prepares a PowerShell script such that it can be pasted into a command prompt. The scenario for using this tool is the following: You compromise a machine, have a shell and want to execute a PowerShell script as a payload. This technique eliminates the need for an interactive PowerShell 'shell' and it bypasses any PowerShell execution policies.
