Write a file `lib/sayhello.js` ```js // lib/sayhello.js function say() { console.log("hello"); } exports.say = say; exports.VERSIONINFO = "SayHello Library (sayhello.js) version 0.1"; exports.AUTHOR = "abuse@catswords.net"; // e.g. YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS exports.global = global; exports.require = global.require; ``` ### 2. Write a file `sayhello.js` ```js // sayhello.js var SayHello = require("lib/sayhello"); function main() { console.log("calling say()"); SayHello.say(); console.log("ended say()"); } exports.main = main; ``` ### 3. Execute file on the command prompt ```cmd C:\Users\oss\Documents\GitHub\welsonjs> cscript app.js sayhello calling say() hello ended say() ``` ## How to make your own setup file - Please check `setup.iss` file it could be compile with [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) ## Screenshots ![(Screenshot 1) GUI environment](app/assets/img/screenshot.png) ![(Screenshot 2) Command-line environment](app/assets/img/screenshot2.png) ![(Screenshot 3) WelsonJS with Microsoft Excel](app/assets/img/screenshot3.png) ## Thanks to - Open Software Portal, Korea National Industry Promotion Agency - Awarded Prize - Heavy-industry specialized CSP(Cloud Service Provider) in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - Live-commerce specialized online advertisement companies in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - Information security companies in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - morioh.com - Mentioned - CSDN - Mentioned - Qiita - Knowledge-base about WSH environment - Redsky Software - PoC(Proof of Concept) of the CommonJS on WSH environment - Inspired by a small-sized JavaScript payload demonstrated by a cybersecurity related group. - Inspired by the use of Named Shared Memory in an inter-language IPC implementation devised by an unidentified developer. - Fediverse - Mentioned - [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/gnh1201) ## Related projects - [gnh1201/wsh-js-gtk](https://github.com/gnh1201/wsh-js-gtk) - GTK GUI ported to Windows Scripting Host - Javascript (Microsoft JScript) (wsh-js) - [gnh1201/wsh-json](https://github.com/gnh1201/wsh-json) - JSON stringify/parse (encode/decode) for Windows Scripting Host - [redskyit/wsh-appjs](https://github.com/redskyit/wsh-appjs) - require-js and app framework for Windows Scripting Host JavaScript - [JohnLaTwC's gist](https://gist.github.com/JohnLaTwC/4315bbbd89da0996f5c08c032b391799) - JavaScript RAT - [JSMan-/JS-Framework](https://github.com/JSMan-/JS-Framework) - No description - [iconjack/setTimeout-for-windows-script-host](https://github.com/iconjack/setTimeout-for-windows-script-host) - Replacement for the missing setTimeout and clearTimeout function in Windows Script Host - [johnjohnsp1/WindowsScriptHostExtension](https://github.com/johnjohnsp1/WindowsScriptHostExtension) - Inject DLL Prototype using Microsoft.Windows.ACTCTX COM Object - [kuntashov/jsunit](https://github.com/kuntashov/jsunit) - JSUnit port for Windows Scripting Host - [nickdoth/WSHHttpServer](https://github.com/nickdoth/WSHHttpServer) - HTTP server based on Windows Script Host - FOSSA report [HTML](https://pub-f926e14287b340cd9eff33731bb25329.r2.dev/fossa_report.html) [CSV](https://pub-f926e14287b340cd9eff33731bb25329.r2.dev/fossa_report.csv) [TXT](https://pub-f926e14287b340cd9eff33731bb25329.r2.dev/fossa_report.txt) - [License attributions of a stock images](https://policy.catswords.social/stock_images.html) ## Report abuse - abuse@catswords.net - ActivityPub [@catswords_oss@catswords.social](https://catswords.social/@catswords_oss) - [Voice of the Customer](https://catswords.re.kr/go/voc) ## License [![FOSSA Status](https://app.fossa.com/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgnh1201%2Fwelsonjs.svg?type=large)](https://app.fossa.com/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgnh1201%2Fwelsonjs?ref=badge_large)
