In the below commands - make sure adk folder and mount folder are replaced with correct paths, and is replaced with correct architecture (x86 or amd64).
You have to add the below packages to get PowerShell within WinPE. Use this command to copy the PE source files.Įx: Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"\media\sources\boot.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"C:\WinPE_amd64\mount".Alternatively, you could Navigate to the folder where ADK is installed (usually C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Windows Kits\10 ) and then locate the “Windows Preinstallation Environment” sub folder. Once it is installed, click start and search for the Deployment tools command prompt. You don’t have to install all the features in the ADK - just install the deployment tools and pre-installation environment. I installed ADK for Windows 10 from here. Here are the steps I followed to make my WinPE image.ĭownload the latest version of ADK from Microsoft’s website. I often prefer this over linux live CDs, mainly because the file system is readily accessible and flexibility of scripting with PowerShell on WinPE cannot be matched. But I’ll tell you this - If you want to offline hack a Windows installation - a winPE iso file loaded with common crack tools and powershell scripts is an ideal weapon. The Power of WinPE is under-explained in my post for obvious reasons (I’m on the good guy’s side, remember). If you boot to a WinPE, you basically have full access to the file system and can modify files and registry without a problem (assuming Bitlocker was not enabled, offcourse). WinPE is a light weight bootable ISO which can be customized to do tasks and service an offline operating system.
WinPE - stands for Windows Pre-installation Environment. So I decided to make myself a WinPE image that I could use to boot up and modify the registry. To get the machine to boot up - I could have used Last Known Good configuration (LKG),īut that wouldn’t be fun, right?. Recently one of my virtual machines wasn’t booting up after I installed an unsigned driver.
