Taking Over Windows with PowerShell Empire
Welcome back to TheCyberVendetta! In today’s tutorial, we are diving deep into PowerShell Empire, one of the most formidable post-exploitation frameworks used by Red Teamers and ethical hackers.
If you want to understand how attackers maintain persistence, escalate privileges, and move laterally across a Windows network without dropping traditional malware, this video is for you. We’ll walk through the entire process, from setting up the C2 infrastructure to interacting with your first agent, and performing a small malware analysis on our payloads to understand how the code works.
🔥 What you will learn in this video:
Setting up PowerShell Empire and the Starkiller GUI
Configuring and deploying Listeners
Generating Stagers (payloads) to bypass basic defenses
Catching callbacks and interacting with Agents
Executing post-exploitation modules for lateral movement
Malware analysis on the generated payloads
