## What it is
p0wnedShell is a C# offensive PowerShell host application that runs PowerShell commands and modules within a runspace environment without relying on powershell.exe. It bundles many post-exploitation tools for attacking Active Directory environments and demonstrating attack techniques to blue teams.

## Use cases
- run post-exploitation PowerShell tools without powershell.exe
- bypass application whitelisting like AppLocker
- masquerade the shell process as a legitimate binary like notepad.exe
- spawn a shell with system privileges using a custom parent process ID
- perform modern Active Directory attacks for red team exercises
- build blue team awareness of offensive PowerShell techniques

## When to choose
- you need an all-in-one post-exploitation toolkit for Windows and Active Directory environments
- powershell.exe is blocked and you need a runspace-based PowerShell host
- you want to demonstrate offensive techniques to train defensive teams

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates and active support
- your target is not Windows or you cannot compile/run .NET binaries
- you require stealth against modern EDR solutions beyond what this 2019-era tool provides
