Yes, this is the one that eventually worked for me. I hadn’t originally known these binaries came with kali, and had some other nc(64).exe’s. It also lets me get a reverse powershell on the box in question.
Awesome learning something new is a definite win. Just to be clear on terms, though, it’s the remote box which allows the powershell. If you use it on a windows box that (somehow) doesn’t have powershell it wouldn’t have worked and you’d need to use -e cmd . exe for a less powerful shell.
(all that just to get a pun in, sorry)
