Getting Started

PoshSec Framework

For the Scripts and Modules to work, please refer to the below documentation.

Note: Minimum of PowerShell 3.0 is required at this time.

If you are using the source code:

Open the poshsecframework.sln in Visual Studio 2012+ and build the project (F7). This will create the bin\Release folder at {your github repodirectory}\poshsecframework\poshsecframework\bin\Release.

Copy the "\Modules" and the "\Scripts" folder from the "\Scripts and Modules" folder to the bin\Release\ directory.

For example:

C:\github\poshsecframework\poshsecframework\bin\Release\Modules\

C:\github\poshsecframework\poshsecframework\bin\Release\Scripts\

If you are using the Binary:

The binary folder has poshsecframework.zip.
Extact the zip file to a directory of your choosing and just run the poshsecframework.exe.
You do not need to move the Scripts\ or Modules\ folder.

If you are using the Installer:

Copy the Modules and the Scripts folder from the "Scripts and Modules" folder to the installation directory.

C:\Program Files\PoshSecFramework\Modules\

C:\Program Files\PoshSecFramework\Scripts\

Execution-Policy

You will need to issue the following command in a PowerShell console running as Administrator if you have never run scripts on your system previously.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Then type "Y" when prompted.

Unblocking Files

For some systems, you may need to "unblock" the files. We are working on putting this directly into psf, but for now you need only to type the following command in a PowerShell console:

Get-ChildItem -recurse <path to poshsecframework> | Unblock-File

Example:

Get-ChildItem -recurse "C:\github\poshsecframework\poshsecframework" | Unblock-File
~or~
Get-ChildItem -recurse "C:\Program Files\PoshSecFramework\ | Unblock-File"
