PowerShell Remoting:
enable-psremoting -force
Enter-PSSession -Computername $env:Computername
WinRM service on TCP port 5985 and 5986 accessible!
Be a member of the local Administrators group!
WSMan Protocol = web services for management
Open, DMTF protocol based on SOAP
WSMan implemented by the WinRM service on Windows!
Manually enable remoting on a client OS:
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Connect interactively like Telnet:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Server47
Enter-PSSession -UserSSL -Computer box.sans.org
Exit-PSSession #when you are done!
Non-interactive commands or scripts (for scheduled tasks):
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {...} -Computer $Box
Invoke-Command -FilePath .\script.ps1 -Computer $Box
$Output = Invoke-Command -FilePath .\script.ps1
C:\SANS\Day1-PowerShell> $output = Invoke-Command -computername $env:COMPUTERNAME -ScriptBlock {ps}
C:\SANS\Day1-PowerShell> $output
- to execute a local script on a remote system, but see the output in the local shell:
Invoke-Command -computername Server7 -filepath .\somescript.ps1

Essential Commands and Scripting Examples
Writing your Own Functions and Scripts
Parameters, Arguments, Switches and Piping
get-member -inputobject $x -membertype property -static
get-member -input $x -m property -static
gm -i $x -m property -s
A piped object becomes a parameter argument:
get-date "11/29/17" | gm -m property -static
The -WhatIf switch for job security...
> "dog" | .\Translate.ps1 -Language french
> get-help -Full Get-Process
- the next command will delete anything inside of the current folder you are in:
rm *.* -Recurse -Force
or
If you want to use the -WhatIf option:
rm *.* -Recurse -Force -WhatIf
"Hello World"
"Hello World" | out-default
"Hello World" | out-default | out-host
Format-List
- shows each property on a separate line
get-process | format-list *
Format-Table
- shows properties in columns, like a spreadsheet
ps | format-table id, name, path -autosize
Display the properties that you want to display:
ps | format-table name, id, path
- because the output above gets truncated we can use Format-List instead:
ps | format-list name, id, path
The OutPutters:
Out-Host
- displays text in shell
Out-File
- append
- encode
Out-GridView
- pops up a GUI app
- PassThru
out-Printer
- Local or network-attached printer
Out-Null
-silently destroys data (and laughs)
Out-String
- converts objects to 'real' strings
- the only outputter with pipeable output, such as grep.exe
######################
>ps | Out-GridView
>ps | Out-OneNote
>ps | Out-String -Stream
>ps | Out-String -Stream | grep.exe
######################
Exporting, Importing and Converting Object Data
- properties become column headers, objects are rows:
get-service | export-csv -path services.csv
$data = import-csv -path services.csv
#What is inside the $data array now? Text?
Export-CLIXML and Import-CLIXML
ConvertTo-JSON and ConvertFrom-JSON
>Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http:/...." | ConvertFrom-Json
#Invoke-WebRequest is the powershell version of 'wget' or 'curl'
##########################
get-process | convertto-html -property Name,Path,ID -title "Process Report" -head "<h1>Process Report </h1>" -body "<h2> Report
Was Run:(get-date)</h2><hr>" | out-file -filepath \\server\share\report.html
PS C:\Users\LapDog> get-process | convertto-html -property Name,Path,ID -title "Process Report" -head "<h1>Process Report </h1>"
-body "<h2> Report Was Run:(get-date)</h2><hr>" | out-file -filepath c:\users\lapdog\Desktop\report.html
####################3
Please turn to the next exercise on page 120!!!!
Remember: tab completion is your friend!
########################
Select-Object (Alias: Select)
Similar to "SELECT" in SQL queries:
get-process "powershell*" | select-object ProcessName, ID, Path | out-gridview
Extract first, last and unique items only:
get-service | select-object -first 5
get-hotfix | select -last 3
get-content users.txt | select -unique
Sort-Object (Alias:Sort)
Sort by one or more properties:
dir *.exe, *.dll, *.sys | sort-object length, extension, name -desc | select-object -first 20 | format-table length, fullname -
autosize
Where-Object (Aliases: Where,?)
$_ is a temp variable for each object piped in.
{..} is a test tha tmust evaluate to true or false.
get-service | where-object {$_.status -ne "running"}
dir hkcu:\ | where-object {$_.subkeycount -gt 2}
get-command | where {$_.name -like "*item*"}
get-hotfix | where {$_.description -math "^Secur."}
ps | ? {($_.id -ge 100) -and ($_.name -like "svc*")}
? - is used instead of 'where'
###################
Arrays are like In-Memory Database Tables:
Creating Arrays:
$empty = @()
$one = @ ("SANS")
$x = @(1, "hi", 4.2, "bye")
$x += "AppendMoreStuff"
$big = @(0...50000)
Using Arrays:
$big.count
$x #everything
$big [0] #First
$big [1] #Second
$big [-1] Last
$d, $f = $nums [3,7]
$another = $nums [3...209]
$last5 = $big [-1..-5]
########################################
Capturing Command Output to An Array:
$output = get-history -count 50
$output = netstat.exe -ano
$output = python.exe myscript.py
$output = @(python.exe myscript.py)
$lines = @(get-content c:\file.txt)
$manylines = get-content *.txt, *.log, *.ini
$bytes = get-content worm.exe -encoding byte
@ - tells PowerShell that no matter how many lines of output, all those lines should go into an array.
###############3
On your computer:
- run the following commands
cd c:\sans\Day1-Powershell\Examples
ise .\Windows_Event-Logs.ps1
ise .\Nmap.ps1
###########################
Search Event Logs:
Get-WinEvent
- search local and remote event logs
- filtering performed at the remote server, not locally.
- can query archived log files off-line (*.evtx files).
- supports the XPath query language:
Very flexible and precise query syntax.
Build your XPath query in Event Viewer.
Lots of XPath tutorials on the Internet.
eventvwr.msc - the graphical event viewer!
Example from Manual:
get-winevent -listlog *
get-winevent -listlog s* -computer Server57
$logdata = get-winevent -logname system
get-winevent -logname security -maxevents 3 | format-list *
###
$events = get-winevent -log system -max 20
$events += get-winevent -log application -max 20
$events += get-winevent -log security -max 20
$events | sort-object -property TimeCreated | format-table TimeCreated, ID, Level, Message -auto
########
Paste the xPath from the Windows EventViewer and run under:
$FromEventViewer = @'
......
'@
get-winevent -FilterXML $FromEventViewer | export-csv -path .\searchresults.csv
#####################
$dude = "Bryan"
"Hey There $Dude !"
- a double quote string is a command in powershell to look for a string at that location!
- while a single quote is just being echoed!
'Hey There $Dude!"
#################################
Parsing Nmap XML Output
nmap.org
- can identify listening ports, service versions, operating fingerprints, and more.
- used for inventories and penetration testing.
- save your enterprise-wide port scans to XML files.
Parse-Nmap.ps1 Script:
.\parse-nmap.ps1 samplescan.xml -runstats dir *.xml | .\parse-nmap.ps1
- when we use with nmap the -runstats command, we get all sort of information, such as ports scanned, hosts up and down, total
hosts scanned, version, how long it took to scan, etc.
Example from Manual:
nmap.exe -A -oX samplescan.xml 10.0.0.0/16
.\parse-nmap.ps1 -path samplescan.xml | select-object FQDN, IPv4, MAC, OS | convertto-html -title "$(get-date)" | out-file \
\server\sharedfolder\report.html
In real life hackers and attackers scan thousands of machines at a time to find vulnerable entry points!
Scanning for Windows XP machines:
.\parse-nmap.ps1 -path samplescan.xml | where {$_.OS -like "*Windows XP*"} |
export-csv .\weblisteners.csv
$data = import-csv .\weblisteners.csv
$data | where {($_.IPv4 -like "10.57.*") -and ($_.Ports -match "open:tcp:22")}

Functions:
Function = block of code with a name.
- can take zero or more input parameters.
- can return zero or more output objects.
- can accept piped input, just like a cmdlet.
- good way organize code into manageable units.
Functions are kept in the function:\ drive.
dir function:\
get-item function:\man | format-list scriptblock
Create a function in PowerShell - example:
function hi {"Hi there! "}
###################
Creating a new function
function name {<your code here}
function hi {"Hi!"}
function time {(get-date).TooLongTimeString() }
function edit-hostfile
{
notepad.exe $env:WinDir\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts
}
###########
Passing in Named Parameters to a Function
function New-User ($UserName, $Password)
{
net.exe user $UserName "$Password" /add
}
new-user -username "Jill" -password "Sekrit"
new-user -u "Lori" -p "p@55vvord"
##################
Constraining a Function's Parameter Types
function eat-lunch ([Int] $number, [$String] $food)
{
"each day we eat $number $food pies!"
}
eat-lunch -number 3 -food pinkie
##################
Switch Parameters to Functions
- a switch parameter takes no arguments.
- a switch can only be $True or $False (defaults to $False).
function show-folder ([Switch] $list) {
if ($list) {dir |format-list *}
else {dir |format-table fullname, length}
}
show-folder #no switch, so $list = $False
show-folder -list #switch used, so $list = $True
- switch parameters are by default False.
###################
Assigning Default Values to Function Parameters
function disable-admin
{
Param ($Password = "SEC505Gr8#4TV!")
net.exe user Administrator "$Password"
net.exe user Administrator /active:no
}
disable-admin
disable-admin -password "0ve3rr1d3n!"
######################
Passing Arguments Into Scripts
#ise .\Examples\PingWrapper.ps1
#to pass arguments into the named
#parameters of a script, use Param(...)
Param($computer = "localhost")
function pingwrapper ($ip) {ping.exe $ip }
pingwrapper -ip $computer
- below we pass an argument of -computer and then we specify an IP address, but the program already has a $computer argument, we
just chose to change it.
- also, -ip is a parameter.
- you can only have one 'param' key and it needs to be at the top.
.\PingWrapper.ps1 -computer 8.8.8.8
Exercise:
Pass through a username and password, a drive letter, and a UNC path. Take one of your tasks and create a function and param key,
just like above.

Parsing Nmap XML Output
nmap.org
- can identify listening ports, service versions, operating fingerprints, and more.
- used for inventories and penetration testing.
- save your enterprise-wide port scans to XML files.
Parse-Nmap.ps1 Script:
.\parse-nmap.ps1 samplescan.xml -runstats dir *.xml | .\parse-nmap.ps1
- when we use with nmap the -runstats command, we get all sort of information, such as ports scanned, hosts up and down, total
hosts scanned, version, how long it took to scan, etc.
Example from Manual:
nmap.exe -A -oX samplescan.xml 10.0.0.0/16
.\parse-nmap.ps1 -path samplescan.xml | select-object FQDN, IPv4, MAC, OS | convertto-html -title "$(get-date)" | out-file \
\server\sharedfolder\report.html
In real life hackers and attackers scan thousands of machines at a time to find vulnerable entry points!
Scanning for Windows XP machines:
.\parse-nmap.ps1 -path samplescan.xml | where {$_.OS -like "*Windows XP*"} |
export-csv .\weblisteners.csv
$data = import-csv .\weblisteners.csv
$data | where {($_.IPv4 -like "10.57.*") -and ($_.Ports -match "open:tcp:22")}

Functions:
Function = block of code with a name.
- can take zero or more input parameters.
- can return zero or more output objects.
- can accept piped input, just like a cmdlet.
- good way organize code into manageable units.
Functions are kept in the function:\ drive.
dir function:\
get-item function:\man | format-list scriptblock
Create a function in PowerShell - example:
function hi {"Hi there! "}
###################
Creating a new function
function name {<your code here}
function hi {"Hi!"}
function time {(get-date).TooLongTimeString() }
function edit-hostfile
{
notepad.exe $env:WinDir\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts
}
###########
Passing in Named Parameters to a Function
function New-User ($UserName, $Password)
{
net.exe user $UserName "$Password" /add
}
new-user -username "Jill" -password "Sekrit"
new-user -u "Lori" -p "p@55vvord"
##################
Constraining a Function's Parameter Types
function eat-lunch ([Int] $number, [$String] $food)
{
"each day we eat $number $food pies!"
}
eat-lunch -number 3 -food pinkie
##################
Switch Parameters to Functions
- a switch parameter takes no arguments.
- a switch can only be $True or $False (defaults to $False).
function show-folder ([Switch] $list) {
if ($list) {dir |format-list *}
else {dir |format-table fullname, length}
}
show-folder #no switch, so $list = $False
show-folder -list #switch used, so $list = $True
- switch parameters are by default False.
###################
Assigning Default Values to Function Parameters
function disable-admin
{
Param ($Password = "SEC505Gr8#4TV!")
net.exe user Administrator "$Password"
net.exe user Administrator /active:no
}
disable-admin
disable-admin -password "0ve3rr1d3n!"
######################
Passing Arguments Into Scripts
#ise .\Examples\PingWrapper.ps1
#to pass arguments into the named
#parameters of a script, use Param(...)
Param($computer = "localhost")
function pingwrapper ($ip) {ping.exe $ip }
pingwrapper -ip $computer
- below we pass an argument of -computer and then we specify an IP address, but the program already has a $computer argument, we
just chose to change it.
- also, -ip is a parameter.
- you can only have one 'param' key and it needs to be at the top.
.\PingWrapper.ps1 -computer 8.8.8.8
Exercise:
Pass through a username and password, a drive letter, and a UNC path. Take one of your tasks and create a function and param key,
just like above.
