Hey everyone! I'm looking to dive into learning Windows PowerShell. I'm curious if it's useful for ethical hacking and if there are any comprehensive courses available for beginners. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Absolutely, PowerShell is a fantastic tool for ethical hacking! One of the best resources out there is the book "Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches". Also, don't overlook the tons of YouTube tutorials available that can help you get started.
Using PowerShell daily is key! It’s definitely just another tool in your ethical hacking toolbox. I took a course called "Certified PowerShell Hacker," but honestly, I didn’t find it worthwhile. Instead, I recommend trying to accomplish your daily tasks using PowerShell, like renaming files or managing users. You'll learn a ton just by practicing!
I think it's great to look for resources that blend PowerShell with ethical hacking. I did a quick search with your topic in mind, and there are decent results. However, if you're open to other shells, you might find more courses on Bash, which can then help you transition to PowerShell. Either way, PowerShell can definitely be used for ethical hacking!
Thanks for the tip! I'll check out those comparisons between Bash and PowerShell.
