PowerView Overview 🔍

PowerView is a PowerShell tool designed for enumerating and attacking Active Directory environments. It is part of the PowerSploit framework and is widely used by penetration testers to gather information about AD objects and perform various attacks. 🛠️

Key Features of PowerView

  1. Enumeration: PowerView can enumerate users, groups, computers, and other AD objects. 📋
  2. ACL Analysis: It can analyze Access Control Lists (ACLs) to identify potential security weaknesses. 🔍
  3. Trust Relationships: PowerView can identify trust relationships between domains, which can be crucial for lateral movement. 🔗
  4. Kerberoasting: It can find Service Principal Names (SPNs) that are susceptible to Kerberoasting attacks. 🔑

Example Code Snippets

Here are some example commands you can use with PowerView:

Example 1: Enumerating Domain Users

Example 2: Finding Kerberoastable Users

# Find users with SPNs set (Kerberoastable users)
Get-NetUser -SPN

Example 3: Enumerating Domain Trusts

# Get all domain trusts
Get-NetDomainTrust

Example 4: Analyzing ACLs

# Get ACLs for a specific object
