Powershell Obfuscation

VIP4 Points

Overview

PowerShell obfuscation hides script intent by transforming commands, strings, variables, and execution flow.

PowerShell obfuscation often uses string splitting, encoding, variable indirection, command aliases, and layered execution to make intent harder to read. The analyst's job is to simplify the script safely and recover the behavior hidden behind the transformations.

In this lab, you practice script deobfuscation, staged analysis, and defensive interpretation of suspicious PowerShell content.
