Command aliases will allow a user to define "aliases" for shorthands and to pass default arguments Currently, aliases with more than one word commands (like a command alias for "execute -o") require the use of single or double quotes to pass the arguments correctly. Additionally, any use of flags in the actual command will attempt to parse for the "aka" command and we want the "aka create" command to be bare to just grab everything after the command alias name. Subsequent changes will include: - better parsing of flags as described above - saving command aliases to disk - better help messages
Previous commit forced the user to use quotes in the creation command and in any arguments that include spaces when expanded a command alias. This commit removes that requirement and allows the user to manipulate the shell interface as if they were typing commands directly.
Updated the way aka aliases are stored to support saving the aka aliases to disk. Aka aliases will automatically be saved to disk and loaded on client startup.

Add a new command to support operator-defined command aliases, similar to
aliasin bash. From the client, users will be able to specify an alias name, the command they are aliasing, and default arguments they want to always pass. Use of the command alias will expand the actual command and default arguments then append the remaining arguments provided to the invoked alias.Details
akaaka create: defines a new alias. Takes the alias name, the command being aliased, and any default args the user wants to use for every invocationaka/aka list: list out any created aliasesaka delete: remove any aliases createdRootAppDir/aka-aliases.json. When creating aliases, the alias will be added to the file. When removing aliases, the alias will be removed from the file.Usage examples for commonly used commands:
aka create bg background. When in the implant menu, now users can simply runbgto background.aka create execw execute -o "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /c. When in the implant menu, users can run something like thearp -acommand with:execw arp -a
