Akash Sarode wins Nobel Peace Price for works in powershell, utilized it for penetration testing.
Windows Powershell is Command-line shell and scripting language designed for system administrators to automate the administration of windows operating system. Powershell is a very powerful utility in windows built on .Net framework, which is useful in variety of ways.
In this article, we will be looking at various ways in which powershell can be utilized for our penetration testing approach. Let’s start with directly with the use of powershell in penetration testing.
For the basics of powershell, kindly refer to my medium articles which has explained Powershell from scratch.

WiFi Kung Fu — Wireless Hacking
Wireless, as the name suggest is without any wired connection, everything in the air. Wireless hacking is the most common way by which an attacker can enter the enterprise/personal network and performs penetrating. Before understanding out the way to hack wifi, let us understand some basics of wireless networking and pre-requisites.
WLANs (Wireless Local area networks)can operate in 3 different frequencies:-
· 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n)
· 3.6 GHz (802.11y)
· 4.9/5.0 GHz (802.11a/h/j/n)
Each of these ranges is divided into multiple channels & every country has allowed channels, users and maximum power levels but we can configure wireless card to disregard these policies. …

Malware Analysis — Part 2
In the first part, we discussed about basic Static Malware analysis. In this part, let’s understand how to perform dynamic analysis.
For performing dynamic analysis, we need to setup virtual environment with host only networking method. Host-only networking, a feature that creates a separate private LAN between the host OS and the guest OS, is commonly used for malware analysis.
Sandboxing:- A sandbox is a security mechanism for running untrusted programs in a safe environment without fear of harming “real” systems. …

Cyber Security Analytics
Cyber Security Analytics is the process of applying analytics to billions to logs which are collected from various IT infrastructure devices to identify any kind of unusual behavior or threat.
Traditionally, for the purpose of security monitoring, SIEM has been used but SIEM doesn’t fulfill the requirements for detecting/preventing modern day attacks/APT’s. SIEM works on an alert-based approach but we need something which can be a data-driven approach. Hence, multiple security vendors are incorporating Cyber analytics in their product functioning which will address the modern threats to organization.
Let’s understand what is Analytics?
Analytics is nothing but generating some kind of pattern from data. Analytics can be Stack counting, Machine learning and much more. In Cyber analytics, we apply some kind of formula/analytic to large amount of data and generate output which plays an important role in detecting threats. Output can be in the form of graphs, pie charts, etc. Anomalies, outliers can be detected using analytical approach.
