Process Herpaderping Evasion generates a Windows x64 EXE that maps shellcode via file section.

Refs
Code
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
Process Herpaderping-style evasion loader.

Writes shellcode to a temp file, creates a section mapping, overwrites the
on-disk file with a benign PE decoy, then executes from the mapped view.
