Programmatically build a LNK file (shortcut file) that executes certain powershell script. Built mainly for spearphishing red-team engagement, with cpp and meson.
Disclaimer: I, the creator of this program, has no responsibility for whatever you do with this tool. This tool was made solely for training and demonstration. Do anything at your own risk.
You can either build this tool from the source code with meson, or just simply downloading the precompiled binary. This tool currently only support 64 bit windows environment and I have no intention to support any other environment.
Make sure you have meson installed, its easier to use meson rather than gcc or visual studio but you can choose anything you desire.
git clone https://github.com/idfp/lnk-builder
cd lnk-builder/
Build the project first before compiling it again with meson.
meson build
cd build
meson compile
If everything went smooth, you'll get an executable named lnkbuilder.exe.
Download the precompiled binary from the Release Page. And use it normally.
Usage: lnkbuilder.exe [Options]
Options:
--description / -d set description for lnk file.
--payload / -p payload to be executed, must be powershell script.
--file / -f get payload from ps1 file.
--icon / -i icon to be used.
--output / -o name of output files, should ends with .lnk
Example: lnkbuilder.exe --payload "Start-Process notepad.exe" -o notepad.lnk
