PowerShell has grown since its introduction in 2003 and implementation in Windows XP in 2006. What started as a closed source, proprietary upgrade to the Command Prompt has now grown into an open-source, resource rich Command Line Interface (CLI) and scripting utility. PowerShell can now be used cross-platform to manage any environment whether that be on-premises or cloud based.
Because of this flexibility PowerShell is used in many aspects of IT, and Security. In this post we will cover some of the basics of using and understanding PowerShell, as well as confirming that what you are seeing is accurate.
PowerShell has an ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment) version that can be used to create PS1 files. These can then be tested and run. You do not need to use the ISE to create PS1 files, any text editor or external ISE will do the trick! ( cough Notepad++ cough ). The main difference here is being able to test your script immediately.
