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. -

DeepBlueCLI
PowerShell Module for Threat Hunting via Windows Event Logs
DeepBlueCLI is a PowerShell-centric threat-hunting toolkit built to extract, normalize, and flag suspicious activity from Windows event logs and Sysmon telemetry. It parses common sources—including Windows Security, System, Application, PowerShell logs, and Sysmon event ID 1—then applies a rich set of detection heuristics for things like suspicious account changes, password guessing and spraying, service tampering, PowerShell obfuscation and download-string usage, long or unusual command lines, and credential dumping attempts. Output is emitted as native PowerShell objects so analysts can pipe results to CSV, JSON, HTML, GridView, or custom pipelines for further triage and reporting. The codebase includes helpers for command-line decoding and de-obfuscation (automatic base64/deflate handling), safelisting/hash workflows (DeepBlueHash), and sample EVTX files so teams can test the tool on realistic attack traces. -

GOAD (Game of Active Directory)
game of active directory
GOAD (Gather Open Attack Data) is a security reconnaissance framework for collecting, enriching, and visualizing open-source intelligence (OSINT) around hosts, domains, and certificates. It automates queries to certificate transparency logs, passive DNS, subdomain enumeration, web endpoints, and other public threat feeds. The tool aggregates results into structured formats and can produce interactive graphs to highlight relationships between entities (e.g. domain → IP → cert → ASN). Analysts can filter, cluster, and explore these relationships to identify infrastructure patterns, potential subdomains, or attack surfaces. Integrations may include metadata like geolocation, WHOIS, and risk scoring to prioritize leads. GOAD helps teams transition from fragmented OSINT tools to a unified reconnaissance dashboard where exploration and filtering are first-class. -

powercat
Netshell features all in version 2 powershell
PowerCat is a compact PowerShell implementation of netcat-style networking utilities that makes it easy to create TCP/UDP clients and listeners, forward ports, and move data between sockets and files. It provides both interactive shells and single-command execution modes so operators can create bind shells, reverse shells, or simple file upload/download endpoints using only PowerShell. The tool supports encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) and can act as a basic SOCKS proxy or relay, enabling flexible pivot and tunneling workflows. PowerCat is implemented as a single, portable PowerShell script that favors minimal dependencies and is convenient to drop into a target or use from an admin workstation. Because it reimplements low-level socket behavior in managed code it is especially useful in Windows environments where native tools like netcat are unavailable or restricted. -

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. -

Invoke-PSImage
Encodes a PowerShell script in the pixels of a PNG file
Invoke-PSImage is a PowerShell utility that hides, extracts, and optionally executes PowerShell payloads inside image files using simple steganography techniques. It can embed a script or binary blob into an image (commonly PNG or JPEG) and later recover that payload without leaving a separate file on disk, enabling in-memory execution workflows. The tool offers options for compression and encryption so the embedded content is both smaller and protected by a passphrase when required. It includes helpers to encode a payload into an image, decode an embedded payload back to readable form, and run the extracted content directly from memory to avoid touching disk. Designed as a compact, single-file PowerShell script, it relies on .NET imaging APIs to manipulate pixel data or metadata and to store the payload in a way that survives ordinary file transfers. -

Invoke-TheHash
PowerShell Pass The Hash Utils
Invoke-TheHash is a PowerShell module providing utilities to perform “Pass-the-Hash” style remote operations over WMI and SMB by supplying NTLM hashes instead of plaintext passwords. The project includes multiple scripts/modules (Invoke-WMIExec, Invoke-SMBExec, Invoke-SMBEnum, Invoke-SMBClient, and a wrapper Invoke-TheHash) so operators can choose enumeration, file access, or command execution modes. It uses .NET’s TcpClient for direct SMB/WMI connections and performs authentication by inserting an NTLM hash into the NTLMv2 protocol flow. The module supports both local accounts and domain accounts (via domain parameter), and it accepts either LM:NTLM or pure NTLM format hashes. For command execution, it can create services on remote hosts (SMBExec style) or use WMI class methods. Since it works over network protocols rather than relying on built-in Windows clients, it can bypass some limitations or restrictions in constrained environments.
