tiny11builder
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image - now in PowerShell. After more than a year (for which I am so sorry) of no updates, tiny11 builder is now a much more complete and flexible solution - one script fits all. Also, it is a steppingstone for an even more fleshed-out solution. You can now use it on ANY Windows 11 release (not just a specific build), as well as ANY language or architecture. This is made possible thanks to the much-improved scripting capabilities of PowerShell, compared to the older Batch release. This is a script created to automate the build of a streamlined Windows 11 image, similar to tiny11. My main goal is to use only Microsoft utilities like DISM, and no utilities from external sources. The only executable included is oscdimg.exe, which is provided in the Windows ADK and it is used to create bootable ISO images. Also included is an unattended answer file, which is used to bypass the Microsoft Account on OOBE and to deploy the image. -

FLARE VM
A collection of software installations scripts for Windows systems
FLARE VM is a security-focused Windows workstation distribution designed for malware analysis, reverse engineering, penetration testing, and threat hunting. It bundles a curated set of tools—disassemblers, debuggers, decompilers, virtualization, forensics utilities, packet capture tools, exploit frameworks, and hex editors—preconfigured to work together. The environment configures paths, dependencies, environment variables, and common tool integrations so analysts can focus on tasks rather than setup. Updates and modular installation let users include only the tools that match their workflow, keeping the VM lean and current. Because security toolchains often clash (DLL versions, signing, privileges), FLARE VM’s packaging handles compatibility issues ahead of time. For investigations involving malware unpacking, sandboxing, static analysis, or code reversing on Windows, the platform dramatically accelerates readiness and consistency across analysts. -

Vcpkg
C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user. -

Fido
A PowerShell script to download Windows or UEFI Shell ISOs
Fido is a PowerShell script that is primarily designed to be used in Rufus, but that can also be used in standalone fashion, and whose purpose is to automate access to the official Microsoft Windows retail ISO download links as well as provide convenient access to bootable UEFI Shell images. This script exists because, while Microsoft does make retail ISO download links freely and publicly available (at least for Windows 8 through Windows 11), up until recent releases, most of these links were only available after forcing users to jump through a lot of unwarranted hoops that created an exceedingly counterproductive, if not downright unfriendly, consumer experience, that greatly detracted from what people really want (direct access to ISO downloads). As to the reason one might want to download Windows retail ISOs, as opposed to the ISOs that are generated by Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool (MCT). -

Scoop Windows
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

Debloat Windows 10
A Collection of Scripts Which Disable/Remove Windows 10 Features
“Debloat-Windows-10” is a GitHub repository containing a collection of PowerShell scripts intended to disable or remove unwanted Windows 10 features, built-in apps, services, telemetry components, and tweaks for performance or privacy. The project is archived as of September 23, 2025 and marked as read-only, since Windows 10 will reach end of life. The author explicitly warns that running these scripts can sometimes break system functionality (e.g. user accounts or system components) and recommends using them only on fresh installations with caution. Many scripts operate nondestructively (without interactive confirmations), but the user is encouraged to edit them beforehand to suit their specific needs. The repository includes utilities to disable services, uninstall default apps, tweak privacy settings, clean up telemetry, and adjust system behavior. -

SVG Explorer Extension
Extension module for Windows Explorer to render SVG thumbnails
The SVG Explorer Extension is a utility for Windows File Explorer that adds native thumbnail rendering and context-menu previews for SVG files. With this extension installed, Explorer will show scalable previews of .svg files just like image formats, enabling visual quick identification of vector files. The project also adds a “Preview in Windows Explorer” feature so users can see full-size SVGs in the side preview pane without launching an editor. It supports features like CSS-based styling, embedded fonts, and scaling in thumbnails so the preview matches rendering expectations. Because Windows doesn’t natively render SVG previews in many versions, this fills a usability gap for designers, developers, and content creators working with vector assets. The extension is lightweight, integrates into shell UI seamlessly, and improves file navigation workflows involving vectors. -

Commando VM
Complete Mandiant Offensive VM (Commando VM)
Commando VM (by Mandiant) is a Windows-based offensive security / red-team distribution built to turn a fresh Windows installation into a fully featured penetration testing environment. It provides an automated installer (PowerShell script) that uses Chocolatey, Boxstarter, and MyGet package feeds to download, install, and configure dozens (100+ / 170+ depending on version) of offensive, fuzzing, enumeration, and exploitation tools. The idea is to spare testers the repetitive work of hand-installing dozens of windows tools, dependencies, and configurations. Commando VM supports customization of its installation profile (you can pick subsets of tools), includes support for WSL/Kali integration, and is intended to be used in a VM to facilitate snapshot recovery and test isolation. -

Sophia Script for Windows
The most powerful PowerShell module for fine-tuning Windows
Sophia Script for Windows is a scripting environment or DSL (Domain-Specific Language) designed to provide scripting capabilities on Windows systems in a high-level, expressive way. It abstracts over native APIs and offers constructs that make system automation, file manipulation, registry access, and user scripting easier than raw PowerShell or batch scripts. The repository presumably contains runtime, script engine, and library helpers to simplify common Windows tasks (e.g., service control, UI automation, scheduled tasks). Because Windows scripting often involves glue between COM, WMI, and system APIs, Sophia’s design likely aims to unify those surfaces behind consistent semantics. For developers or sysadmins, it offers an alternative tool for building lightweight Windows automation without resorting to full compiled utilities. While its adoption might be niche, the project showcases how domain-specific scripting languages can simplify cross-cutting OS tasks. -

BloodHound
Six Degrees of Domain Admin
BloodHound is a single-page Javascript web application, built on top of Linkurious, compiled with Electron, with a Neo4j database fed by a C# data collector. BloodHound uses graph theory to reveal the hidden and often unintended relationships within an Active Directory or Azure environment. Attackers can use BloodHound to easily identify highly complex attack paths that would otherwise be impossible to quickly identify. Defenders can use BloodHound to identify and eliminate those same attack paths. Both blue and red teams can use BloodHound to easily gain a deeper understanding of privilege relationships in an Active Directory or Azure environment. BloodHound Enterprise is an Attack Path Management solution that continuously maps and quantifies Active Directory Attack Paths. You can remove millions, even billions of Attack Paths within your existing architecture and eliminate the attacker’s easiest, most reliable, and most attractive techniques. -

Windows Super God Mode
Creates shortcuts to virtually every special location or action built
This project packages a set of Windows tweaks, shortcuts, and convenience scripts that surface many of the OS’s hidden settings and advanced controls into a single, easy-to-use place. It automates creation of “God Mode” folders and other control-panel shortcuts, removes the need to manually hunt through layers of Settings or the Registry, and often bundles helper scripts for common maintenance tasks. The intent is to put power-user features—tweaks for privacy, appearance, power management, and system behavior—within quick reach so administrators and enthusiasts can configure machines consistently. Because many of the actions touch system settings, the collection emphasizes clear instructions and reversible steps so users can roll back changes if needed. It’s valuable for technicians who want a reproducible baseline for customizing Windows installs, or for home users curious about otherwise-obscure controls. -

winget-pkgs
The Microsoft community Windows Package Manager manifest repository
The winget-pkgs repository is the community-maintained manifest collection for the Windows Package Manager (winget), serving as the default, upstream source of installable application manifests used by the winget client. It contains tens of thousands of manifest files (organized under a manifests/ folder) plus schema, validation, CI pipelines, and tooling to build, test, and publish packages so users can install software with a single command. The repo enforces contribution processes (including a Contributor License Agreement flow for many contributors), automated validation checks, and publishing pipelines so manifests meet format, checksum, and licensing expectations before becoming available to users. Maintainers document manifest authoring, testing, and request workflows, and the repository requires installers to be packaged as supported installer formats (MSIX, MSI, APPX, or executable installers), with script-based installers and fonts noted as unsupported. -
