Spectre Doesn’t Always Execute #1

I installed successfully (verified with ping) and can sometimes get spectre to execute commands but it only works every once out of maybe 3-4 tries.
The command I’m using:
cmd.exe /c whoami

Sometimes it returns properly but other times it just doesn’t nothing or says it expected 14 bytes but got 12 etc. I’m using the default setup for the config and windows 10 pro.

This is due to the way that the Spectre Rootkit actually executes commands. Essentially it uses a thread callback to look for a viable thread to start a process from. If no viable thread is created and the timeout runs out, you will see those types of errors.

Will consider implementing proper process creation that doesn't fall victim to RNG and implementing better error responses.
