Xencrypt is a single-file PowerShell crypter that encrypts, compresses, and obfuscates PowerShell scripts to bypass AMSI and antivirus detection. It supports recursive layering (up to 500 iterations), randomized variable names, and randomized encryption/compression routines.

Use cases

• evade antivirus detection for powershell scripts
• bypass AMSI when running powershell payloads
• obfuscate a powershell script before a red team engagement
• encrypt invoke-mimikatz so it runs undetected
• learn how crypters work by modifying the source
• prepare FUD payloads for a CTF

When to choose

• you need to obfuscate and encrypt PowerShell scripts for authorized red team testing or CTFs
• you want a simple, single-file, easily modifiable crypter to learn evasion techniques
• you need recursive layering to increase entropy of a payload

When to avoid

• you need evasion against modern EDRs or up-to-date AV signatures, as the tool is from 2020 and no longer guaranteed FUD
• you want a supported production security product rather than a demo/educational tool
• you cannot legally or ethically use offensive tooling in your environment
