        This module simplifies the Regsvr32.exe Application Whitelisting Bypass technique.
        The module creates a web server that hosts an .sct file. When the user types the provided regsvr32
        command on a system, regsvr32 will request the .sct file and then execute the included PowerShell command.
        This command then downloads and executes the specified payload (similar to the web_delivery module with PSH).
        Both web requests (i.e., the .sct file and PowerShell download and execute) can occur on the same port.
