Course Overview

In today’s digital landscape, learning PowerShell for forensics and live response is essential for cybersecurity professionals. PowerShell is a powerful tool built into Windows systems that allows you to automate tasks, extract critical system data, and perform rapid analysis during security incidents. Whether you're responding to threats or gathering evidence, understanding how to harness PowerShell can make your investigations faster, more efficient, and more accurate.

The course begins by teaching you PowerShell fundamentals, covering installation, scripting basics, and lab setup. From there, you’ll explore practical applications like collecting system and user data, monitoring network connections, and analyzing processes. You'll also learn how to examine Windows event logs and write triage scripts to handle live response scenarios with confidence.

Finally, the course focuses on advanced forensic techniques, including Windows Defender log analysis and live disk forensics using PowerForensics. These lessons tie everything together, empowering you to conduct comprehensive investigations and respond to incidents effectively with the help of PowerShell.
