Augusta ISSA Public Meeting featuring Fernando Tomlinson

The Greater Augusta ISSA invites you to join us for our next meeting on December 17th, 2019 featuring Fernando Tomplinson's talk on "A Tale of Two PowerShells".

Abstract

PowerShell has surpassed the administrative use that it was originally developed for. It now additionally serves as a capability that enables threat hunters and incident responders to illuminate malicious activity and respond to such threats. It also enables pentesters and malicious actors to gain and maintain access as well as proliferate throughout a network without bringing any additional toolkits. In most cases, the two additional uses often are not detected or known by the admins or the opposite side. We will dive into and demo a number of methods in which both sides are using or could use PowerShell to achieve their overall objectives.
