Invoke-Shellcode Issues and Powersploit DIscussion

[Hubbl3]

I have fixed the typo in Invoke-Shellcode that broke the use of custom shellcode but the automated support for reverse_http and reverse_https payloads appear to no longer longer work. Powersploit dropped support for this in Invoke-Shellcode in 2015 with the release of V3.0.0. I have not isolated the exact reason why this no longer works but suspect it has to do with changes in the way metasploit stages the payload.

I suggest we remove the meterpreter payload option in the Invoke-Shellcode module and make Shellcode a required option.

In addition the Powersploit Modules in Empire were never updated to the 3.0 release. This update was mostly a dropping of the metasploit support and modularization of the functions to ensure they are only doing one job. So there is some debate as to whether the change is worthwhile
