## What it is
PowerTools is a collection of PowerShell projects focused on offensive security operations, including tools like PowerView, PowerUp, PowerPick, and PewPewPew. The repository is now deprecated, with its main components migrated to other projects such as PowerSploit.

## Use cases
- enumerate active directory domains with powershell
- find privilege escalation paths on windows hosts
- run offensive powershell scripts without powershell.exe
- audit windows systems for misconfigurations
- learn post-exploitation powershell techniques

## When to choose
- you need the historical versions of PowerView or PowerUp for research
- you are studying legacy offensive PowerShell tooling
- you want to trace where these tools moved to PowerSploit

## When to avoid
- you need maintained or supported tooling
- you want bug fixes or new features
- you need a tool for defensive or production use

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: windows
- tags: powershell, offensive-security, red-team, post-exploitation, deprecated, powerview, powerup
