“Malicious” powershell commands for demo
You can grab PowerSploit . Most of the scripts will trigger powershell's Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) if you have real-time protection enabled. To be sure, use Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1 as AMSI blocks certain keywords like “invoke-mimikatz” or “amsiutils” since they are widely known to be used for exploitation. So I suggest you use them. Note that you can hide some malicious scripts by running an amsi bypass, thats for another day.

Compromising Plaintext Passwords in Active Directory
Because the SYSVOL share is open to Authenticated Users, any user in the organization can read the files stored there. Therefore, any user account can find and decrypt the Group Policy file and thereby gain access to the plaintext passwords for Administrator accounts. The PowerSploit command Get-GPPPassword will find and decrypt these passwords for you.
