Minips

Minips is a custom minimalist PowerShell interpreter to bypass AppLocker restrictions, GPO or SRP restrictions preventing from running powershell.exe. There are 2 identical versions available:

minips.cs

Compile with csc.exe like this:

# Go to the latest .NET version folder, e.g.:
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

# Compile:
csc.exe /unsafe /reference:"C:\path\to\System.Management.Automation.dll" /out:C:\users\public\minips.exe /platform:x64 "C:\path\to\minips.cs"

Then run the produced minips.exe executable to spawn the shell.

minips.xml

Simply start with msbuild.exe like this:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe c:\path\to\minips.xml
