WARNING: It is strongly advised not to compile scripts from unverified sources using this project due to the following reasons:
- ps12exe has the capability to indirectly include scripts from URLs. This implies that scripts from any URL can be incorporated into your script.
- ps12exe, through a set of not-so-stringent rules, determines if all or a part of a script could be a constant program, the content of which can be determined at compile time. If such a determination is made, ps12exe will automatically execute this script in an attempt to obtain the output.
This implies that if you compile a script whose content is unknown to you, there's a high possibility that ps12exe might download and execute a malicious script during the compile time.
If you're skeptical, try executing "while(1){}" | ps12exe -Verbose.
Install-Module ps12exe(you can also clone this repository and run ./ps12exe.ps1 directly)
