Windows Exploitation: Bypassing AppLocker Allowed Paths

Hello, 

I need a assistance with a lab on Windows Exploitation: Bypassing AppLocker Allowed Paths . I have tried to clear this lab but I'm unable to run powershell.exe. I have tried to locate other installations of Powershell on the Windows Machine but even those executables within C:\Windows\WinSxS are getting blocked. 

Please help me on this to crack down.

  • Don't overthink it.  Check the path allowed rule - what's the name and location of the binary you can run?

        The path rule allows a binary called python.exe to run from the specified location - doesn't mean it actually has to be python.

        Remember that you also have to bypass the publisher rule as well (in the same way as the hash rule bypass).
