This practical guide explores PowerShell's offensive and defensive capabilities to strengthen your organization's security. By configuring, auditing, monitoring, exploiting, and bypassing defenses, you can master PowerShell for security and develop methods to bypass security features and use stealthy tradecraft.

Essential security features in PowerShell are explored, and your environment is protected against exploits and bypasses. Whether you are a red or blue teamer, this comprehensive guide will help you gain a deep understanding of PowerShell's security capabilities and how to use them effectively.

The book begins by revisiting PowerShell basics and scripting fundamentals, then delves into PowerShell Remoting and remote management technologies. You will learn how to configure and analyze Windows event logs, interact with the underlying system, Active Directory, and Azure AD, and run PowerShell without powershell.exe.

Authentication protocols, enumeration, credential theft, and exploitation are covered, along with a red and blue team cookbook for day-to-day security tasks. Mitigations such as Just Enough Administration, AMSI, application control, and code signing are discussed, with a focus on configuration, risks, exploitation, bypasses, and best practices.

By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of how to employ PowerShell from both a red and blue team perspective, enabling you to enhance your organization's security posture.
