Importing Module in Powershell

Modules are typically work in Powershell directly. “Get-Module” command can be used to see imported modules.

“Get-Module -ListAvailable” command show the modules available.

For the additional modules we want to use, we should import them first. Once we import the module, we can use its all commands anymore. We will add PowerSploit as example. PowerSploit project is a project no longer supported but sometimes we may want to use its capabilities. For importing, we firstly download the package from here. After downloading the module, we need to copy it to one of the module folders in PC. There are different module locations and we can see them with “$Env:PSModulePath” command.

We create a folder called PowerSploit and copy all files here from the downloaded package.

“Import-Module PowerSploit” command will install the module and all its commands will be available for us to use.

“Get-Command -Module PowerSploit” command can list all commands of this module.

“Get-Help <command>” command will show you the usage of the commands.
