How to create a single exe file to run/select multiple powershell scripts
PS2EXE -- This is what I've used in the past to create a exe from a PS script. Would suggest reading the readme on Github to understand the possible behavior changes while using it.

Is there a way to securely pass a password within a Configuration Item script?
Something like using this: https://github.com/MScholtes/PS2EXE Although I'm sure there are other utilities out there that do something similar. It's not 100% absolutely secure, because I'm pretty sure that .exe can be de-compiled and read, but at least the password wouldn't be in a .log file (if passed as a parameter), nor clearly in a downloaded {random guid}.ps1 in the CM folder.

Powershell script that will open and minimize teams window every 9 minutes to stay green. Alternative to a mouse jiggler.
To run with PowerShell save this to a text file with a .ps1 extension. Then right click and run with PowerShell. Orrrr...how I did it is I converted the .ps1 to .exe using ps2exe here https://github.com/MScholtes/PS2EXE/blob/master/README.md. Then just run the exe and just a black terminal screen shows up blank and script runs in the background. To stop the script just close out the black terminal screen. The exe way is better if someone monitors your screen from time to time because it doesn't show what's really going on.

WTF is happening here?? I am not using pc at all!
Yes and no. Maybe this theoretical miner would stop mining to drop GPU usage but who knows what else it's doing or data it's exfiltrating. I at one point (for fun) wrote a key-logger entirely in PowerShell and was wrapped as an executable and ran under the name "Windows Software Update" or something like that... it was a long time ago. The process itself would still be there but malware can be pretty good about disguising itself as other things. Keep in mind what I said about looking for the taskmgr process is probably the most basic way to do this. If someone is writing a legitimate sophisticated malware they're probably not writing it in as a simple .NET FX console app and you're better off just nuking your system and starting fresh.
