Final Project/Presentation for CS 4177, Software Vulnerabilities. Showcases the use of Powershell-Empire, a now deprecated post-exploitation framework.
This Project was completed with the assistance of three group members!
Special Thanks to:
- What is Powershell-Empire?
- What Files are Enclosed Here?
- Video Demonstration.
- Virtual Machine Usage.
- Powershell-Empire was an open-source post-exploitation agent that ran through Windows Powershell.
- It allowed for a user to generate attack scripts for use against other Windows machines, MacOS, or Linux subsystems.
- It is not offically maintained as of August of 2019, but a fork was used as a base for the creation of this cybersecurity excercise.

This Project REQUIRED the use of Two Virtual Machines. They were:
- Kali Linux, with the additional installiation of PowerShell-Empire.
