PowerSploit is a collection of Microsoft PowerShell modules that can be used to aid reverse engineers, forensic analysts, and penetration testers during all phases of an assessment. PowerSploit is comprised of the following modules and scripts:
CodeExecution
Execute code on a target machine.
Invoke-DllInjection
Injects a Dll into the process ID of your choosing.
Invoke-ReflectivePEInjection
Reflectively loads a Windows PE file (DLL/EXE) in to the powershell process, or reflectively injects a DLL in to a remote process.
Invoke-Shellcode
Injects shellcode into the process ID of your choosing or within PowerShell locally.
Invoke-ShellcodeMSIL
Execute shellcode within the context of the running PowerShell process without making any Win32 function calls.
Watch-BlueScreen
Cause a blue screen to occur (Windows 7 and below).
ScriptModification
Modify and/or prepare scripts for execution on a compromised machine.
Out-EncodedCommand
Compresses, Base-64 encodes, and generates command-line output for a PowerShell payload script.
Out-CompressedDll
Compresses, Base-64 encodes, and outputs generated code to load a managed dll in memory.
Out-EncryptedScript
Encrypts text files/scripts.
Remove-Comments
Strips comments and extra whitespace from a script.
Persistence
Add persistence capabilities to a PowerShell script
New-UserPersistenceOptions
Configure user-level persistence options for the Add-Persistence function.
New-ElevatedPersistenceOptions
Configure elevated persistence options for the Add-Persistence function.
Add-Persistence
Add persistence capabilities to a script.
PETools
Parse/manipulate Windows portable executables.
Get-PEHeader
An in-memory and on-disk PE parsing utility.
Get-ObjDump
Displays information about one or more Windows object files.
Get-DllLoadPath
Returns the path from which Windows will load a Dll for the given executable.
ReverseEngineering
Tools to aid in reverse engineering.
Get-PEB
Returns the process environment block (PEB) of a process.
Get-ILDisassembly
Disassembles a raw MSIL byte array passed in from a MethodInfo object in a manner similar to that of Ildasm.
Get-NtSystemInformation
A utility that calls and parses the output of the ntdll!NtQuerySystemInformation function. This utility can be used to query internal OS information that is typically not made visible to a user.
Get-StructFromMemory
Marshals data from an unmanaged block of memory in an arbitrary process to a newly allocated managed object of the specified type.
Get-Member
A proxy function used to extend the built-in Get-Member cmdlet. It adds the '-Private' parameter allowing you to display non-public .NET members
New-Object
A proxy function for New-Object that accepts a CLSID with the -ComObject parameter.
Get-Strings
Dumps strings from files in both Unicode and Ascii. This cmdlet replicates the functionality of strings.exe from Sysinternals.
ConvertTo-String
Converts the bytes of a file to a string that has a 1-to-1 mapping back to the file's original bytes. ConvertTo-String is useful for performing binary regular expressions.
Get-MethodAddress
Get the unmanaged function address of a .NET method.
AntivirusBypass
AV doesn't stand a chance against PowerShell!
Find-AVSignature
Locates single Byte AV signatures utilizing the same method as DSplit from "class101".
Exfiltration
All your data belong to me!
Get-Keystrokes
Logs keys pressed, time and the active window.
Get-GPPPassword
Retrieves the plaintext password and other information for accounts pushed through Group Policy Preferences.
Get-TimedScreenshot
A function that takes screenshots at a regular interval and saves them to a folder.
Out-Minidump
Generates a full-memory minidump of a process.
Recon
Tools to aid in the reconnaissance phase of a penetration test.
Invoke-Portscan
Does a simple port scan using regular sockets, based (pretty) loosely on nmap.
Get-HttpStatus
Returns the HTTP Status Codes and full URL for specified paths when provided with a dictionary file.
Invoke-ReverseDnsLookup
Scans an IP address range for DNS PTR records. This script is useful for performing DNS reconnaissance prior to conducting an authorized penetration test.
Recon\Dictionaries
A collection of dictionaries used to aid in the reconnaissance phase of a penetration test. Dictionaries were taken from the following sources.
- admin.txt - http://cirt.net/nikto2/
- generic.txt - http://sourceforge.net/projects/yokoso/files/yokoso-0.1/

Usage
Refer to the comment-based help in each individual script for detailed usage information.
To install this module, drop the entire PowerSploit folder into one of your module directories. The default PowerShell module paths are listed in the $Env:PSModulePath environment variable.
The default per-user module path is: "$Env:HomeDrive$Env:HOMEPATH\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules" The default computer-level module path is: "$Env:windir\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules"
To use the module, type Import-Module PowerSploit
To see the commands imported, type Get-Command -Module PowerSploit
For help on each individual command, Get-Help is your friend.
Note: The tools contained within this module were all designed such that they can be run individually. Including them in a module simply lends itself to increased portability.
Script Style Guide
For all contributors and future contributors to PowerSploit, I ask that you follow this style guide when writing your scripts/modules.
- Avoid Write-Host at all costs. You should output custom objects instead. For more information on creating custom objects, read these articles:
- http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/05/19/create-custom-objects-in-your-powershell-script.aspx
-
If you want to display relevant debugging information to the screen, use Write-Verbose. The user can always just tack on '-Verbose'.
-
Always provide descriptive, comment-based help for every script. Also, be sure to include your name and a BSD 3-Clause license.
-
Make sure all functions follow the proper PowerShell verb-noun agreement. Use Get-Verb to list the default verbs used by PowerShell.
-
I prefer that variable names be capitalized and be as descriptive as possible.
-
Provide logical spacing in between your code. Indent your code to make it more readable.
-
If you find yourself repeating code, write a function.
-
Catch all anticipated errors and provide meaningful output. If you have an error that should stop execution of the script, use 'Throw'. If you have an error that doesn't need to stop execution, use Write-Error.
-
If you are writing a script that interfaces with the Win32 API, do not compile C# code unless absolutely necessary. It is imperative that nothing aside from the script touches the disk.
-
Do not use hardcoded paths. A script should be useable right out of the box. No one should have to modify the code unless they want to.
-
I don't want any v3 dependencies right now. In fact, it would be ideal to use
Set-StrictMode -Version 2.0
to ensure you are conforming to PowerShell v2 best practices. -
Use positional parameters and make parameters mandatory when it makes sense to do so. For example, I'm looking for something like the following:
-
[Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $True)]
-
Don't use any aliases unless it makes sense for receiving pipeline input. They make code more difficult to read for people who are unfamiliar with a particular alias.
-
Don't let commands run on for too long. For example, a pipeline is a natural place for a line break.
-
Don't go overboard with inline comments. Only use them when certain aspects of the code might be confusing to a reader.
-
Use Out-Null to suppress unwanted/irrelevant output.
-
Only use .NET code when absolutely necessary.
-
Use the Write-Output keyword when returning an object from a function. I know it's not necessary but it makes the code more readable.
-
Use default values for your parameters when it makes sense. Ideally, you want a script that will work without requiring any parameters.
-
Scripts that are intended to run on a remote machine should be self-contained and not rely upon any additional scripts. Scripts that are designed to run on your host machine can have dependencies on other scripts.
-
If a script creates complex custom objects, include a ps1xml file that will properly format the object's output.
