In this video I'll show you one of the payloads I made as a Hak5 submission
The goal will be to show you how to use this payload to embedd powershell code into all the shortcuts of a chosen directory
I made this payload with the intentions of it being used against call center scammers and would really like to
see it make its way onto one of the scambaiter channels
