## Execute [x64]

## ------------------| If above 👆 commands does not work; check if they limit the poweshell ability by issuing the following command.
powershell $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
## if it return ConstrainedLanguage you can not run commands like IEX. it means you can not run Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1.
## So select netcat or 10x10x14x38_4545.exe with Invoke-WebRequest (or any download methord) insted of this.
