Function Out-EncodedBinaryCommand
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS

Generates binary encoded payload for a PowerShell command or script. Optionally it adds command line output to final command.

Invoke-Obfuscation Function: Out-EncodedBinaryCommand
Author: Daniel Bohannon (@danielhbohannon)
License: Apache License, Version 2.0
Required Dependencies: None
Optional Dependencies: None
 
.DESCRIPTION

Out-EncodedBinaryCommand encodes an input PowerShell scriptblock or path as a binary payload. It randomly chooses between .Split/-Split/array syntax to store the encoded payload in the final output. The purpose is to highlight to the Blue Team that there are more novel ways to encode a PowerShell command other than the most common Base64 approach.

.PARAMETER ScriptBlock

Specifies a scriptblock containing your payload.

.PARAMETER Path

Specifies the path to your payload.

.PARAMETER NoExit

Outputs the option to not exit after running startup commands.

.PARAMETER NoProfile

Outputs the option to not load the Windows PowerShell profile.

.PARAMETER NonInteractive

Outputs the option to not present an interactive prompt to the user.

.PARAMETER NoLogo

Outputs the option to not present the logo to the user.

.PARAMETER Wow64

Calls the x86 (Wow64) version of PowerShell on x86_64 Windows installations.

.PARAMETER Command

Outputs the option to execute the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt.

.PARAMETER WindowStyle

Outputs the option to set the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.

.PARAMETER ExecutionPolicy

Outputs the option to set the default execution policy for the current session.

.PARAMETER PassThru

(Optional) Avoids applying final command line syntax if you want to apply more obfuscation functions (or a different launcher function) to the final output.
