Penetration Tests and Red Team operations for secured environments need altered approaches. You cannot afford to touch disks, throw executables and use memory corruption exploits without the risk of being ineffective as a simulated adversary. To enhance offensive tactics and methodologies, PowerShell is the tool of choice.
PowerShell has changed the way Windows networks are attacked - it is Microsoft's shell and scripting language available by default in all modern Windows computers and can interact with .Net, WMI, COM, Windows API, Registry and other computers on a Windows Domain. This makes it imperative for Penetration Testers and Red Teams to learn PowerShell.
This training is aimed towards attacking Windows networks using PowerShell and is based on real world penetration tests and Red Team engagements for highly secured environments. The course runs as a penetration test of a secure environment with a detailed discussion and the use of custom PowerShell scripts during each phase. Here's a list of some of the techniques, implemented using PowerShell, which will be used in the course (scroll to "course content" for more details): - In-memory shellcode execution using client side attacks.
- Exploiting SQL Servers (Command Execution, trust abuse, lateral movement.)
- Using Metasploit payloads with no detection
- Active Directory trust mapping, abuse and Kerberos attacks.
- Dump Windows passwords, Web passwords, Wireless keys, LSA Secrets and other system secrets in plain text
- Using DNS, HTTPS, Gmail etc. as communication channels for shell access and exfiltration.
- Network relays, port forwarding and pivots to other machines.
- Reboot and Event persistence
- Bypass security controls like Firewalls, HIPS and Anti-Virus.
This training aims to change how you test a Windows based environment.The course is a mixture of demonstrations, exercises, hands-on and lecture, focusing more on methodology and techniques than tools. After this training you'll be able to write own scripts and customize existing ones for security testing. Additionally, attendees will get free access to a complete Active Directory environment that lasts for one month.

Nikhil Mittal is a hacker, infosec researcher, speaker and enthusiast. His area of interest includes penetration testing, attack research, defence strategies and post exploitation research. He has 8+ years of experience in Penetration Testing for his clients which include many global corporate giants. He is also a member of Red teams of selected clients.
He specializes in assessing security risks at secure environments which require novel attack vectors and an "out of the box" approach. He has worked extensively on using Human Interface Device in Penetration Tests and PowerShell for post exploitation, and is the creator of Kautilya, a toolkit which makes it easy to use HIDs in penetration tests and Nishang, a post exploitation framework in PowerShell. In his spare time, Nikhil researches on new attack methodologies and updates his tools and frameworks.
He has spoken at conferences like Defcon, BlackHat, CanSecWest, DeepSec and more.
