## Easy-to-use test-it-yourself sign-your-malware 

A Powershell script that signs input Executable file with fake Microsoft code-signing certificate to demonstrate risks of Code Signing attacks.

Script was shamelessly borrowed from [Matt Graeber, @mattifestation](https://twitter.com/mattifestation) and his research titled [_Code Signing Certificate Cloning Attacks and Defenses_](https://posts.specterops.io/code-signing-certificate-cloning-attacks-and-defenses-6f98657fc6ec) 
**All credits go to Matt** - I merely copied it preserverance purposes.

As of 13/07/2022 this **dumb trick** still gets off the shelf malware evade detection of at least 8 modern security scanners.
