PersistAssist is a fully modular persistence framework written in C#. All persistence techniques contain a cleanup method which will server to remove the persistence aside from the persistence code. This is a WIP so there are many empty classes, the main object of this project initially was to build out a fully modular framework meant to make adding new features as simple as inheriting a class and adding the code.

Compiling
PersistAssist will not have pre-compiled binaries so you'll have to compile the code manually. To do this open up the solution file and select "Release" and the desired arch in the build menu and hit start.
Usage
To view the help menu, use PersistAssist.exe -h

Persistence contains that available techniques that can be used, the tradecraft modules serve as utility functions to perform various operations, and the payload modules contain paylaods that can be used for various persistence tasks though are currently only available for the OverrideTask module.
To return information on a module, use PersistAssist.exe -t [technique] -i
Name: OverrideTask
Desc: Deploys MSBuild OverrideTask based persistence. Drops file to disk and requires admin access
Usage:
Persist: PersistAssist.exe -t OverrideTask -p -tn [task name] -pl [payload]
Cleanup: PeristAssist.exe -t OverrideTask -c -tn [task name]
