                -----Custom Shellcode Generation Method----

This method will allow you to insert your own shellcode into the Unicorn attack. The PowerShell code
will increase the stack side of the powershell.exe (through VirtualAlloc) and inject it into memory.

Note that in order for this to work, your txt file that you point Unicorn to must be formatted in the 
following format or it will not work:

0x00,0x00,0x00 and so on.

Also note that there is size restrictions. The total length size of the PowerShell command cannot exceed
the size of 8191. This is the max command line argument size limit in Windows.

Usage:

python unicorn.py shellcode_formatted_properly.txt shellcode

Next simply copy the powershell command to something you have the ability for remote command execution.

NOTE: THE FILE MUST PROPERLY BE FORMATTED IN A 0x00,0x00,0x00 TYPE FORMAT WITH NOTHING ELSE OTHER THAN
YOUR SHELLCODE IN THE TXT FILE.

There are some caveats with this attack. Note that if your payload size is large in nature it will not
fit in cmd.exe. That means that from a command line argument perspective if you copy and paste you will 
hit the 8191 character size restriction (hardcoded into cmd.exe). If you are launching directly from 
cmd.exe this is an issue, however if you are launching directly from PowerShell or other normal 
applications this is a non-problem.

A couple examples here, wscript.shell and powershell uses USHORT - 65535 / 2 = 32767 size limit:

typedef struct _UNICODE_STRING {
    USHORT Length;
    USHORT MaximumLength;
    PWSTR  Buffer;
} UNICODE_STRING;

For this attack if you are launching directly from powershell, VBSCript (WSCRIPT.SHELL), there is no  
issues.
