The provided text describes FileFix, a social engineering technique that leverages the File Explorer address bar to execute malicious PowerShell commands. This method tricks users into copying what appears to be a file path from a phishing page, but is actually a disguised command, which then runs silently in the background upon pasting and pressing enter. The article details the setup of the phishing site, the reverse shell payload used, and crucial defense tipsto mitigate such attacks, emphasizing user awareness and blocking risky processes. The author, IT Guy, explains this technique as part of their red team and malware development portfolio, building on an idea from mrd0x.
