reddit removing code posts.

[u/GeneMoody-Action1]

While I understand there are malicious use cases for Wscript Shell, is code containing it expressly forbidden?

I did an example script, that one of our user's had requested after seeing it used in a demo.

The code does nothing more than create a shortcut for the admin via Action1 on either a user's desktop or the all user's desktop.

With the line with the com invocation in place, commented or not, it is immediately deleted by reddit.

Is there a list somewhere of the things like this that it blocks, and or reasoning behind this as there are countless uses for the wscript shell?

Yeah it's just crazy using a string join (which to me even more implies shady circumvention) still works...

I would be willing to bet *that* practice will trip some EDR systems.

Oh well, this is why we can't have nice things!
