## 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 borrowed from [Matt Graeber, @mattifestation](https://twitter.com/mattifestation) and his [_Code Signing Certificate Cloning Attacks and Defenses_](https://posts.specterops.io/code-signing-certificate-cloning-attacks-and-defenses-6f98657fc6ec) and **all credits are his**.
As of 13/07/2022 this dumb trick still gets off the shelf malware evade detection of at least 8 modern security scanners.

Function Sign-Artifact {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Signs input executable file with a faked Microsoft code signing certificate.
.DESCRIPTION
This script uses built-into Windows interfaces to import a fake Microsoft code-signing certificate
and use it to sign input executable artifact. Result will be signed, although not verifiable executable.
Based on Matt Graeber's implementation:
