Bypass the PowerShell Execution Policy

  • Use the “Bypass” Execution Policy Flag
This is a nice flag added by Microsoft that will bypass the execution policy when you’re executing scripts from a file. When this flag is used Microsoft states that “Nothing is blocked and there are no warnings or prompts”. This technique does not result in a configuration change or require writing to disk.
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .runme.ps1
  • Use the “Unrestricted” Execution Policy Flag
This similar to the “Bypass” flag. However, when this flag is used Microsoft states that it “Loads all configuration files and runs all scripts. If you run an unsigned script that was downloaded from the Internet, you are prompted for permission before it runs.” This technique does not result in a configuration change or require writing to disk.
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .runme.ps1
  • Use the “Remote-Signed” Execution Policy Flag
Create your script then follow the tutorial written by Carlos Perez to sign it. Finally,run it using the command below:
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Remote-signed -File .runme.ps1
