PowerShell Empire is a post-exploitation framework consisting of listeners, stagers, and agents. Its artifacts leave detectable traces in Windows event logs, particularly PowerShell Script Block Logging (Event ID 4104) and Module Logging (Event ID 4103).

PowerShell Empire is a post-exploitation framework consisting of listeners, stagers, and agents. Its artifacts leave detectable traces in Windows event logs, particularly PowerShell Script Block Logging (Event ID 4104) and Module Logging (Event ID 4103). This skill analyzes event logs for Empire's default launcher string (powershell -noP -sta -w 1 -enc), Base64 encoded payloads containing System.Net.WebClient and FromBase64String, known module invocations (Invoke-Mimikatz, Invoke-Kerberoast, Invoke-TokenManipulation), and staging URL patterns.

Detects PowerShell Empire artifacts in Windows event logs via Base64 launcher patterns, stager IOCs, module signatures, user agents, and staging URLs in Script Block Logging. For threat hunting and forensics.
Detects PowerShell Empire artifacts in Windows event logs (4103/4104) via Base64 stagers, module signatures like Invoke-Mimikatz, User-Agents, and C2 URLs. Outputs JSON with IOCs, timelines, MITRE mappings for threat hunting.
