PowerShell 101 - What is it and Why should YOU Care!Thomas Lee
PowerShell 101 provides an overview of PowerShell, including what it is, how it works, and why it is important for Windows administrators. PowerShell is a task automation platform and scripting language that makes Windows administration easier. It uses cmdlets, objects, and the pipeline model where cmdlets produce and consume objects that can be piped between commands. PowerShell is built into Windows and provides discoverability through commands like Get-Help and Get-Member. It offers advantages over traditional shells like being faster, more repeatable, and reducing errors.
This is an end-to-end introduction to PowerShell, as an interactive shell but more as a scripting language. From the perspective of a full-stack developer, this presentation covers the basics and six of the common issues that occasional users run into.
This document provides an overview of RequireJS, an asynchronous JavaScript module loader. It discusses how RequireJS allows for defining modules and their dependencies, and loading them asynchronously. Key points include:
- RequireJS implements the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) specification for defining modules and dependencies.
- It handles loading modules and their dependencies in the proper order, even if they load asynchronously and out of order.
- This avoids issues with global namespace pollution and allows modules to be loaded on demand.
- The document covers the basic RequireJS API, different module definition patterns, and how to configure RequireJS for development and production.

Examples are provided and tips discussed for effective use.
This document provides an introduction to PowerShell, including what it is, its core components like cmdlets and objects, and how it can be used for automation and management. PowerShell combines a command-line shell and a scripting language that allows users to discover, query, and manipulate systems through a .NET object model. It includes cmdlets for common system tasks and can be extended with additional cmdlets. PowerShell is included with Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 and later or can be installed on earlier versions, and will be important for IT professionals to learn as it replaces traditional shells.
Incorporating PowerShell into your Arsenal with PS>Attackjaredhaight
Jared Haight presents on incorporating offensive PowerShell techniques. He introduces PS>Attack, a tool designed to emulate powershell.exe and provide over 110 commands for reconnaissance, privilege escalation, backdoors, and exfiltration. PS>Attack aims to lower the barrier to using offensive PowerShell by providing an intuitive interface and built-in payloads/modules. However, all versions of PS>Attack use the same encrypted files, making them easy for antivirus to detect. To address this, Jared created the PS>Attack BuildTool to allow custom compiling of PS>Attack with unique encryption and latest tool versions for each build. Basic Windows security practices like protecting privileged accounts and updating systems can also help mitigate PowerShell
Windows - Having Its Ass Kicked by Puppet and PowerShell Since 2012Puppet
Unix environments has fantastic tooling order to irridicate the need for manual server configuaration. Windows is completely behind in the use of these tools. PowerShell is now emerging as the tool for Windows admins to manage environments and deployments. Can PowerShell help to bring the devops culture to the Windows development world? In this session, I will demonstrate how PowerShell has become a tool necessary to know when working on a windows environment. The session will demonstrate how development environments can be built in a fraction of the time using Puppet and PowerShell. PowerShell is fast becoming a rockstar of the Windows configuration world. Since Puppet added support for Windows, we can really kick windows configuration management into submission

Automating Your Enterprise Application Deployments with PowerShellGeoff Varosky
Presented on 2/21/13 at the Granite State SharePoint Users Group
In enterprise application deployments to SharePoint, there are generally farms, or web applications that host specific applications for specific groups, rather than having just an all-in-one deployment. Often times, you do not have access to these other environments, and will need to pass the deployment baton off to the system administrators of those farms.
This session will walk you through how you can deploy your applications, without needing to have the administrator who will be deploying the application, have to do much more than type a few keys into the SharePoint Administration Console and press enter – and having full configuration and deployment of your custom SharePoint applications to other environments.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Scripting Object Model Examples
Changing an option
• $psplus.Options.Startup.StartInMiniMode = $false
• NOTE: Since PowerShell Profiles are managed by PowerShellPlus and
they are essentially script, you could put this into the PowerShellPlus
private profile to change startup behavior
Add a new Solution Set (Library) and add to it
programmatically
• $psplus.SolutionSets.Add("Test solution",
"C:SolutionSetsMySolutionSet.xml")
• $psplus.SolutionSets.CurrentSolutionSet.AddEntry("FromFile
", "C:scriptsrichard.ps1“)
