I thing cradle base64 encode go wrong that make Invoke-BypassUACTokenManipulation not woking.

Steps to fix:

1. Host must be URL (http://IP)
   Additional code to format IP to url:

        import socket
        try:
            socket.inet_aton(host)
        except socket.error as e:
            pass
        else:
            host = "http://" + host

2. Add .encode("ascii") to blank_command And .decode("ascii") to encoded_cradle .
