PowerShell for Offense and Defense Online Training
Trainer: Ben Mauch
Skill Level: All
Date/Time: June 1-2, 2023, 9am-4pm EST
Course Description:
Are you ready to improve your PowerShell skills? In this course, we’ll demonstrate how you can use PowerShell both as a penetration tester and as a defender.
Students will learn tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) commonly used by penetration testers and ways to identify those Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).
In addition, students will be immersed in a simulated corporate environment where they will identify ways to attack a lab environment, review how PowerShell can be used to detect those attacks, and look at ways to use PowerShell as a deceptive defense.
Students in this class can expect to:
1. Enhance understanding of PowerShell’s capabilities and limitations
2. Learn TTPs commonly used by penetration testers
3. Learn ways to identify IOCs
4. Learn how to use PowerShell to detect attacks
5. Learn how to use PowerShell as a deceptive defense
6. Gain knowledge of how to use PowerShell in real-world penetration testing scenarios
7. Develop skills in identifying and mitigating security risks in a simulated corporate environment
8. Learn how to use PowerShell to automate and streamline security tasks
9. Understand how to use PowerShell in conjunction with other tools and technologies for more effective security
10. Expand knowledge of how to use PowerShell as a defensive tool, rather than just an offensive tool
