Take any powershell script. It doesn’t have to be a 1-liner. Then surround it with the following code:

$code = {
	#Put your code here
	rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
}
[convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($code))

Then it will output a 64-digit encoded string.

Use the one-liner string as follows (This string is a popup that shows your hostname):
