## PowerShell COM Object Browser
17+
18+
The `PowerShell COM Object Browser` is an advanced utility for developers and system administrators that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to browse, search, and launch executable COM objects registered on the system. It asynchronously scans the registry and displays filterable results, focusing specifically on COM objects that run as standalone executables.
19+
20+
Built by: Zachary Whiteman & Google Gemini Ai.

24+
<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
25+
26+
# 🔰 Getting Started
27+
This is an advanced tool for exploring registered COM objects on your system.
28+
29+
## 🕰️ Prerequisites
30+
To run this script, you will need:
31+
32+
* **Windows Operating System.**
33+
* **PowerShell 5.1 or newer.**
34+
* **Administrator Privileges (Recommended):** Running as an administrator is recommended to ensure a complete and unrestricted scan of the Windows Registry.
35+
36+
## 💽 Installation & Execution
37+
1. **Download:** Download the `Load_COM_Objects.PS1` script file.
38+
2. **Unblock:** Right-click the file, go to Properties, and click `Unblock` if the file was downloaded from the internet.
39+
3. **Run:** Execute the script from a PowerShell console.
40+
```powershell
41+
.\Load_COM_Objects.PS1
42+
```
43+
44+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
45+
46+
## 🚀 Usage
47+
The application will automatically begin scanning for executable COM objects upon launch.
48+
49+
* **Loading:** A progress bar will show the status of the COM object enumeration. This process may take some time.
50+
* **Searching:** Use the search box at the top to filter the list by ProgID, CLSID, or Description in real-time.
51+
* **Launching:** Select a COM object from the list and click **Launch Selected** to attempt to create an instance of it. The script will try to make the object visible if it has a standard `Visible` property.
52+
* **Viewing Details:** Select an object and click **View Details** to see more information, including its server path and registry location.
53+
54+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
55+
56+
## ✨ Key Features
57+
* **GUI Browser:** Displays registered executable COM objects in a clear, searchable data grid.
58+
* **Asynchronous Loading:** Scans the registry in the background without freezing the user interface.
59+
* **Live Filtering:** Instantly filters the results as you type in the search box.
60+
* **Targeted Scan:** Specifically enumerates `LocalServer32` type COM objects, which are standalone executables.
61+
* **Object Instantiation:** Allows users to attempt to launch selected COM objects.
62+
* **Detailed View:** Provides a detailed look at the properties of a selected COM object.
63+
64+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
65+
66+
## 🛠️ Technology Stack
67+
* **Scripting Language:** PowerShell
68+
* **GUI Framework:** .NET Windows Forms (WinForms).
69+
* **Core Logic:** Interacts directly with the Windows Registry to enumerate keys under `HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID`.
70+
71+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
72+
73+
## 📐 Architecture & Security Notes
74+
This is an advanced tool intended for development and diagnostic purposes.
75+
76+
* **Risk of Instability:** Launching unknown COM objects can cause unexpected behavior, system instability, or crashes. Use this feature with caution.
77+
* **Read-Only Scan:** The scanning and browsing functions are read-only and do not modify the registry.
78+
* **Administrator Access:** While the script may run as a standard user, it may fail to read certain protected registry keys, resulting in an incomplete list. Running as an administrator is recommended.

## Elite Network & Web Administration Suite
17+
18+
The `Elite Network & Web Administration Suite` is a definitive, all-in-one PowerShell application with a graphical user interface (GUI) for local web development, server management, and network administration. It combines a wide array of powerful tools into a single, cohesive suite, making it an indispensable utility for developers and system administrators. The application uses PowerShell for the frontend and orchestrates a series of embedded Python scripts to run robust backend services.
19+

24+
<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
25+
26+
# 🔰 Getting Started
27+
This is an advanced, multi-functional suite. Please review the prerequisites carefully.
28+
29+
## 🕰️ Prerequisites
30+
To run this script, you will need:
31+
32+
* **Windows Operating System.**
33+
* **PowerShell 5.1 or newer** with .NET Framework 4.5+.
34+
* **Administrator Privileges:** The script requires administrator access for most of its functions and will attempt to self-elevate if not run as an administrator.
35+
* **Python 3.x:** Python must be installed and added to your system's PATH. This is a critical dependency for all server functionalities.
36+
* **Python `pyftpdlib` Library:** The FTP server requires this library. The script will detect if it's missing and offer to install it via `pip`.
37+
38+
## 💽 Installation & Execution
39+
1. **Download:** Download the `EliteNetworkAdministratoionUtility.ps1` script file.
40+
2. **Unblock:** Right-click the file, go to Properties, and click `Unblock` if the file was downloaded from the internet.
41+
3. **Run:** Execute the script from a PowerShell console or by double-clicking it. The script will automatically request administrator elevation.
42+
```powershell
43+
.\EliteNetworkAdministratoionUtility.ps1
44+
```
45+
46+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
47+
48+
## 🚀 Key Features
49+
50+
### Server Management
51+
* **Web Servers:** Create, configure, and run multiple local web servers. Supports HTTPS/SSL, custom 404 pages, and Basic Authentication.
52+
* **FTP Servers:** Easily set up local FTP servers for file management and testing.
53+
* **Proxy Servers:** Run simple TCP forwarding proxies to redirect network traffic.
54+
* **Email (SMTP) Sink:** A local SMTP server that catches all outgoing application emails, logs them, and saves them as `.eml` files for debugging.
55+
56+
### Certificate Authority
57+
* Create a local, self-signed Root Certificate Authority (CA).
58+
* Issue server certificates signed by your local Root CA.
59+
* Install the Root CA into the system's trusted stores to eliminate browser security warnings for local development.
60+
61+
### Network & System Utilities
62+
* **Hosts File Manager:** A full GUI for easily adding, editing, and removing entries in the Windows hosts file.
63+

* **Scheduled Task Helper:** Includes a function to create a scheduled task to automatically start selected servers when you log in.
71+
72+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
73+
74+
## 🛠️ Technology Stack
75+
* **Frontend/Orchestration:** PowerShell
76+
* **GUI Framework:** .NET Windows Forms (WinForms).
77+
* **Backend Servers:** Python (using embedded scripts for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and Proxy services).
78+
* **Python Libraries:** `pyftpdlib` for the FTP server.
79+
* **System Interaction:** WMI, `netsh`, and various PowerShell cmdlets for network and certificate management.
80+
81+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
82+
83+
## 📐 Architecture & Security Notes
84+
* **Hybrid Architecture:** This suite uses a powerful hybrid model where the PowerShell GUI acts as a frontend controller for robust backend services written in Python.
85+
* **Development Focus:** This suite is intended for local development, testing, and administration. The servers are not hardened for production use.
86+
* **Administrator Access:** The script requires and will request administrator privileges to manage system-level settings like the hosts file, network adapters, and certificate stores.

<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
45+
46+
## 🚀 Usage
47+
The application provides a multi-paned interface for managing your test servers.

55+
* **Default File Name:** The file to be served when the root URL is requested (e.g., `index.html`).
56+

72+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
73+
74+
## 🛠️ Technology Stack
75+
* **Scripting Language:** PowerShell
76+
* **GUI Framework:** .NET Windows Forms (WinForms).
77+
* **Web Server:** The core web server is implemented using the `.NET System.Net.HttpListener` class.

80+
81+
<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>
82+
83+
## 📐 Architecture & Security Notes
84+
* **Local Test Server:** This tool is designed for local development and testing purposes only. It is not a production-grade web server and lacks the security features of one.
85+
* **File System Access:** The server will serve files from the directory you specify as the web root. Ensure that you only point it to trusted directories.
86+
* **Firewall:** When you start a server, you may receive a prompt from the Windows Firewall to allow the application to accept incoming network connections.
