+## 🔒 Windows Fileless Execution
 
-## 🧙 Fileless Execution
-
-DarkFlare supports fileless execution on Windows systems using PowerShell, allowing you to run the client without saving any files to disk. This is particularly useful in restricted environments where:
-- You don't have write permissions to the local system
-- Security policies prevent executing downloaded binaries
-- You need to leave no traces on the filesystem
-- You want to run the client without installation or cleanup
-
-### PowerShell Memory Execution
-Save this as `memory-exec.ps1` or download from examples/:
-```powershell
-# See examples/memory-exec.ps1 in the repository
-param (
-    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
-    [string]$t,
-    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
-    [string]$d,
-    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
-    [string]$l = "stdin:stdout",
-    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
-    [string]$p
-)
-
-$url = "https://github.com/doxx/darkflare/releases/latest/download/darkflare-client-windows-amd64.exe"
-$webClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
-$bytes = $webClient.DownloadData($url)
-$assembly = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load($bytes)
-$args = @("-l", $l, "-t", $t, "-d", $d)
-if ($p) { $args += @("-p", $p) }
-$assembly.EntryPoint.Invoke($null, @(,[string[]]$args))
-```
+For scenarios requiring fileless operation on Windows systems, DarkFlare provides DLL variants that can be loaded directly into memory:
 
-### Usage Examples
+Location: `bin/dll/`
+- `darkflare-client-windows-386.dll` (32-bit)
+- `darkflare-client-windows-amd64.dll` (64-bit)
 
-1. Direct SSH connection using ProxyCommand:
-```bash
-ssh -o ProxyCommand="powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File memory-exec.ps1 -t cdn.example.com -d localhost:22" user@remote
-```
+These DLLs can be embedded within C# or C++ applications for memory-only execution, making them suitable for situations where disk writes need to be avoided.
 
-2. One-liner for immediate execution (no script file needed):
-```powershell
-$script = (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doxx/darkflare/main/examples/memory-exec.ps1'); 
-powershell -Command $script -t cdn.example.com -d localhost:22
-```
+For implementation details and examples, see:
+- [Embedding Golang Tools in C#/C++](https://medium.com/@shantanukhande/red-team-how-to-embed-golang-tools-in-c-e269bf33876a)
 
-3. With a SOCKS5 proxy:
-```powershell
-powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File memory-exec.ps1 -t cdn.example.com -d localhost:22 -p socks5://proxy:1080
-```
-
-### Benefits
-- **No Installation Required**: Run directly from memory without installing
-- **No Filesystem Traces**: Leaves no artifacts on the local system
-- **Bypass Restrictions**: Works in environments with strict file execution policies
-- **Easy Cleanup**: No files to remove after use
-- **Latest Version**: Always downloads the latest release
-- **Portable**: Can be run from any PowerShell prompt with internet access
-
-### Security Considerations
-- Only download from trusted sources over HTTPS
-- Consider adding checksum verification for enhanced security
-- Be aware that some security software may detect/block memory execution
-- Use only in environments where you have permission to do so
-- The binary is still downloaded, just not saved to disk
-- Network administrators may still see the download traffic
+⚠️ Note: This feature should only be used in legitimate testing scenarios with proper authorization.
