Known gotchas

• This tool will not work on OSX or Linux machines. It is specifically designed to target windows.
• There may be issues with icon caching in some situations. If your payload doesn't execute after the first time, try regenerating it.
• You will need to run a responder or metasploit module server to capture NTLM hashes.
• To capture environment variables, you'll need to run a webserver like apache, nginx, or even just this
