# PowerShell Remoting

Using the WS-Management protocol, Windows PowerShell remoting lets you run any Windows PowerShell command on one or more remote computers. You can establish persistent connections, start interactive sessions, and run scripts on remote computers.

When having access to the internal network PowerShell has a CMDLET that allows to check for PS Remote availability on a Remote Host

If outside the network the usual port for this connection would be 5985, this can be edited to avoid attackers to find common ports open

Now form outside the network would be an amazing tool named evil-winrm that can allow us to take advantage of this protocol

Internal access will allow us to connect to a different workstation, we can use various methods to authenticate but I used the approach of running as a different user with the runas command, and the user can simply access the PSSession of the remote workstation as seen below

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dmcxblue.gitbook.io/red-team-notes-2-0/lateral-movement/powershell-remoting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
