(Unknown duration).
PowerShell has changed the way how Windows is used, secured and also the way Windows is 0wned. It is an automation platform for everybody; developers, defenders and attackers. PowerShell provides easy access to almost everything in a Windows machine and network. It comes installed by default in modern versions of Windows. During a penetration test, it could be really helpful to use this powerful shell and scripting language for further attacks.
This training would help anyone who wants to know more about powershell from a security perspective. If you are a defender, you could learn how this attack vector can be used against a corporate environment. If you are a pen tester you would learn how to use powershell for pen testing in a windows environment. You will learn various techniques like privilege escalation, backdoors, keylogging, data exfiltration, dumping system secrets in plain, persistence, pivoting, in-memory code execution, using top sites as C&C, web shells, bots... the list goes on.
Learning how to use a target environment for your purpose is crucial in pen tests. Open source tools which help in achieving this would also be discussed including those written by the trainer. The training aims to bring PowerShell goodness to security professionals and includes hands-on in a lab environment and CTF like exercises. You would be able to write your own scripts for security testing after this training. This training aims to forever change how you pen test a Windows based environment.
