User: You are a security researcher and analyst.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: You are analyzing a PowerShell script base on the code, explainer results and domain knowledge. Here is the domain knowledge about Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) logs. Please use it for the rest of the prompts.
<domain knowledge>

We run Powershell scripts on a Windows machine, and use Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) logs to collect corresponding logs. Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) provides a mechanism to trace and log events that are raised by user-mode applications and kernel-mode drivers. ETW is implemented in the Windows operating system and provides developers a fast, reliable, and versatile set of event tracing features.

ETW providers can raise events and can publish them to the Windows Event Log or can write their events to an ETW session, which gets written to a trace file or delivered to real-time consumer. Events are entities that describe interesting occurrences within the system and are defined by a set of attributes that are determined by the ETW providers. 

We use four ETW providers to collect logs: process, thread, network, and registry. These logs are used to generate a graph with nodes and edges. The nodes are divided into five categories: "File", "Registry", "Network", "Process", and "Thread". The edges correspond to the features/events occured between two nods. The following are the events and their associated properties for the four providers we use.

Attributes which are common in all providers are:
Size : Total number of bytes of the event. Size includes the size of the header structure, plus the size of any event-specific data appended to the header. On input, the size must be less than the size of the event tracing session's buffer minus 72 (0x48).
HeaderType
Flags
EventProperty
ThreadId : The TID of the thread that logged the event.
ProcessId : The PID of the process that logged the event.
TimeStamp : A 128-bit value which contains the time the event was logged in 100ns units since Jan 1, 1601.
ProviderId : GUID’s of provider
Id : A 16-bit integer that identifies the event type within the provider.
Version : The 8-bit integer that is the version of the event type. An event’s
structure is defined by the provider, the event id and the version.
Channel : An integer identifying the channel to which the event should be directed. 
Level : An integer between 0 and 255 that is used to indicate the severity or importance of the event. Lower values are considered of greater criticality. Event providers and viewers can be configured log or show events based on event levels. Windows predefines levels 0 through 5 as Log Always, Critical, Error, Warning, Informational and Verbose.
Opcode : An integer in the range 0-255 that identifies the operation pertaining to which the event is logged. Providers may define opcodes in the range 11-238. The remaining are predefined by Windows with specific intended semantics. Providers may use these as well when writing events. When a provider uses tasks, it can define per-task opcodes as well. These task level opcodes follow the same range restrictions
Task : An integer that identifies a specific logical component within the event provider
Keyword : A bit mask used for grouping events of a similar type. The semantics of each bit is defined by the provider. Keywords can be used to control which events are written by a provider.
KernelTime : The elapsed execution time for kernel-mode instructions in 100ns units
UserTime : The elapsed execution time for user-mode instructions in 100ns units.
ActivityId : The optional ActivityId argument tags the event with an identifier that other events may refer to as their related activity. This argument can be NULL to stand for whatever activity identifier is current set for the calling thread.
Task Name : A human-readable, localized string corresponding to the integer task field.

Output only malicious code snippets. Do not include explanations, comments, or other text inside the tags.  Write each snippet on its own line. The output malicious code should strictly between the tags '<start-malicious-code>' and '<end-malicious-code>'. **Order them by confidence from high to low.** If uncertain, respond with 'Unknown'. Here is the PowerShell script code you are analyzing:
<code>

    Param (
        [String]
        $Command = "-help"

    )
    $a=New-Object IO.MemoryStream(,[Convert]::FromBAsE64String("H4sIAA...AAA=")) # The omitted "H4sIAA...AAA=" is actually a 25309 character long hexadecimal/Base64 string.
    $decompressed = New-Object IO.Compression.GzipStream($a,[IO.Compression.CoMPressionMode]::DEComPress)
    $output = New-Object System.IO.MemoryStream
    $decompressed.CopyTo( $output )
    [byte[]] $byteOutArray = $output.ToArray()
    $RAS = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load($byteOutArray)
    $OldConsoleOut = [Console]::Out
