Random Powershell scripts that I create to automate tasks I am too lazy to click on.

! This script requires access to an API key from virustotal and - ideally - a VT enterprise account.

I had created this script for my lab environment. Sometimes I need to just download samples from VT to test AV detections and populate my lab Defender portal with data. Its purpose is not to maliciously infect a device. It has some fault controls as well so that when it breaks or just finishes running, all the samples that were not picked up and quarantined by AV are wiped from disk.

Working with Azure VMs and protecting them with JIT (Just In Time access) is great ! But when I have a lab of 5+ machines, its really daunting to go to the portal and Start all of them and then Request access one by one. I created this script to automate the process of starting a VM and then requesting access for it. You just need to edit the script to add your own Subscription ID and Resource Group for which you want to start the machines.

The script will

• Capture your public IP
• Iterate all machines in Resource Group
• Start them if they are down
• Create a JIT Access Request for the relevant tcp port depending on the OS, for your public IP

The scripts are shared as is. Use them at your own risk. I do not intentionaly share scripts that may be breaking something and I take no responsibility if the script breaks something you built.
