## What it is
PowerSploit is a collection of PowerShell modules for post-exploitation tasks during penetration tests, covering code execution, persistence, AV bypass, exfiltration, and reconnaissance. It is no longer maintained, with the last release in 2020.

## Use cases
- inject shellcode or DLLs into processes on a compromised Windows host
- dump credentials in memory with Mimikatz via PowerShell
- establish persistence on a target machine
- encode and obfuscate PowerShell payloads to evade detection
- harvest Group Policy Preferences passwords
- log keystrokes on a target
- enumerate and manipulate Windows logon tokens

## When to choose
- you are a penetration tester or red teamer working on Windows targets
- you need a well-known reference toolkit for offensive PowerShell techniques
- you are studying post-exploitation tradecraft

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling that evades modern Windows Defender and AMSI
- you want supported software for production security operations
- you are on non-Windows platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: penetration-testing, security, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows
- tags: post-exploitation, red-team, powershell-modules, offensive-security, pentesting
