"Hacking with windows" is kind of retarded but it can make sense with some tools... Like PowerShell (a poor attempt of making a Unix like terminal for windows). >>The main reasons why this has become a favorite and commonly used tool by threat actors are because it is pre-installed on Windows systems, supports multiple platforms, and allows scripts or code to be executed directly in memory (in-memory execution) without writing files to disk (fileless execution).

Here, we will discuss and explore how PowerShell can be a main tool in offensive operations and red teaming, starting with fileless malware development (weaponization), basic stages of initial access via social engineering, the Clickfix attack chain with custom scenario, post-exploitation activities like internal reconnaissance within the active directory environment, privilege escalation, credential dumping, log evasion and covering tracks, as well as some basic defense evasion techniques that can be utilized during an engagement, such as adversary simulation or emulation.
