JSON in PowerShell
Penetration testing is a critical activity that involves simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a system or network. PowerShell, a powerful scripting language native to the Windows environment, is a valuable tool for penetration testers due to its flexibility, extensive automation capabilities, and ability to interact with web services and APIs. In this section, we will explore how PowerShell can be used to handle JSON data as part of penetration testing. We will cover scenarios such as retrieving JSON data from web APIs, parsing JSON responses, extracting valuable information from JSON objects, and manipulating JSON payloads for testing purposes.
Retrieving JSON data from web APIs
Penetration testers often need to interact with web APIs to gather information or perform assessments. PowerShell can be used to make HTTP requests to APIs and retrieve JSON data. This can be achieved using the Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet, which...
