Anglekaflare/Ads-Blocker
About the project
The repository poses as an ad blocker but actually instructs users to run a third-party PowerShell script from an external domain for 'activation' and registry tweaks. No actual ad-blocking code is described in the README.
Useful for
- Study it as an example of a suspicious repo using irm | iex from an external domain
- Run the script in a sandbox to inspect its registry and system changes
