function Invoke-Excel4DCOM
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Powershell script that injects shellcode into excel.exe via ExecuteExcel4Macro through DCOM.
.DESCRIPTION
Use Excel 4.0 / XLM macros on a DCOM instance of excel.exe to do shellcode injection. Take care to run with the x64 switch for x64 Office,
and to use a Powershell version with the same bitness as the Office version when running locally.
.PARAMETER Computername
Specify a remote host to inject into.
.PARAMETER UserList
Specify a file containing the x86 shellcode.
.EXAMPLE
PS > Invoke-Excel4DCOM -ComputerName server01 -Payload C:\temp\payload.bin
Inject x86 payload from payload.bin into excel.exe on server01.
PS > Invoke-Excel4DCOM -ComputerName server01 -Payload C:\temp\x64payload.bin -x64
Inject x64 64payload from payload.bin into excel.exe on server01.
