Luckystrike

v2.0Curi0usJack (community, archived)

A PowerShell generator for malicious Excel/Word documents — macro payloads, embedded objects, template injection — used by red teams to test whether the mail gateway and endpoint controls catch a document lure. The range produces the document metadata and the telemetry, so blue teams can practice the triage.

Inside the range

  1. Tick it on the launch screen

    Under Luckystrike's category on the advanced tool shelf. A lab that depends on it locks the toggle on and says why.

  2. Or install it from a range terminal
    winget install --id Luckystrike -e

    The simulated package manager seeds the same binaries, config and receipt the shelf toggle does.

  3. Everything here is simulated

    No software is downloaded and nothing executes — the range answers from authored fixtures.
