Code flow:

  1. Create a new Pipe
  2. Create and start a service that will connect to the created pipe and write something. The service code will execute this encoded PS code: $pipe = new-object System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream("piper"); $pipe.Connect(); $sw = new-object System.IO.StreamWriter($pipe); $sw.WriteLine("Go"); $sw.Dispose();
  3. The service receive the data from the client in the pipe, call ImpersonateNamedPipeClient and waits for the service to finish
  4. Finally, uses the token obtained from the service to spawn a new cmd.exe
