OutlookParasite

This is a method that misuses Outlook Add-in functionality to obtain (unprivileged) persistence using Outlook (or other Office programs). This method also bypasses the "ClickOnce" install pop-up that you'd normally get when installing an unsigned Outlook Add-in. This is pretty stealth I guess, since you're living inside an Outlook process and are started once Outlook is started by the user (every morning?). It's also not detected by Sysinternals' Autoruns. More information here.

Usage

  1. Compile the .sln and copy everything in the Release directory except for the .pdo to the target machine in some directory (i.e. C:\ProgramData\).
  2. Execute the Install-OutlookAddin -PayloadPath C:\ProgramData\<OutlookAddinNameYouCanChooseYourself>.vsto

To clean up, run Remove-OutlookAddin and delete the files on disk.
