Powershell Payload Execution
Description
This module generates a dynamic executable on the session host using .NET templates. Code is pulled from C# templates and impregnated with a payload before being sent to a modified PowerShell session with .NET 4 loaded. The compiler builds the executable (standard or Windows service) in memory and produces a binary which can be started/installed and downloaded for later use. After compilation the PoweShell session can also sign the executable if provided a path the a .pfx formatted certificate.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
