HTML Smuggling Code - Chrome
Note that we chose to browse to the HTML file with Google Chrome since it supports window.URL.createObjectURL. This technique must be modified to work against browsers like Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
When an Executable is downloaded via browser it is tagged as downloaded from the internet and Windows SmartScreen activate; Windows and the SmartScreen feature tries to block execution.

Add-Type calls the csc compiler, which writes to disk.
# Using PInvoke & .NET we can define and import Win32 APIs and use them via powershell
# We use "Here-Strings", e.g. @" "@ to right .NET code in powershell script
# Then we use the 'Add-Type' cmdlet which compiles the .NET code and retrieves
# a powershell object which we can use to execute the methods.
