PowerShell Bootcamp provides foundational scripting skills for automating tasks, interacting with Windows systems, and building reusable command-line tooling using PowerShell. Students learn core scripting constructs including variables, data types, flow control, functions, error handling, and interaction with the Windows operating system. The course emphasizes hands-on scripting, structured problem-solving, and safe scripting practices rather than advanced exploitation or framework development. By the end of the course, students will be able to write, debug, and execute PowerShell scripts that interact with files, processes, the registry, WMI, and .NET objects. The course concludes with a Culmination Exercise (CULEX) requiring students to integrate scripting concepts into a functional automation solution.
Intended Audience: Individuals new to scripting or automation, including junior cyber operators, system administrators, analysts, and IT personnel who require foundational PowerShell skills. No prior scripting experience is required, though basic familiarity with Windows systems and command-line usage is beneficial.
