The ultimate WinRM shell for hacking/pentesting.
Description & Purpose
This shell is also the ultimate WinRM shell for hacking/pentesting.
WinRM (Windows Remote Management) is also the Microsoft implementation of WS-Management Protocol. also A standard SOAP based protocol that allows hardware and operating systems from different vendors to interoperate. Microsoft included it in their Operating Systems in order to make life easier to system adminsitrators.

This program can be used on any Microsoft Windows Servers with this feature enabled (usually at port 5985), of course only if

you have credentials and also permissions to use it. So we can say that it could be used in a post-exploitation hacking/pentesting phase.

then The purpose of this program is to provide nice and easy-to-use features for hacking. It can also be used with legitimate purposes by

system administrators as well but the most of its features are focused on hacking/pentesting stuff.
