#Powershell grep from pipe code
#Powershell grep from pipe password

Valid user, but invalid specifying the delimiter : in the file, ConvertFrom-StringData converts each line into a PowerShell object, allowing me to retrieve the email addresses as an object property, instead of parsing the string output. Valid user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… user, but invalid passw… /home/sec504> Get-Content /home/sec504/msolspray.txt | ConvertFrom-StringData -Delimiter ':' | Select-Object -Property * Instead of treating the file as text, I could opt to treat it as a PowerShell object instead using ConvertFrom-StringData: S /home/sec504> Get-Content /home/sec504/msolspray.txt | ConvertFrom-StringData -Delimiter ':' The more I work with PowerShell, the more I realize it's more than a syntax shift from Bash and other shells, it's a conceptual shift as well. This solution gets the job done, but it feels a little. I will make that same mistake at least 8099 more times, in the near future. When I was working this out, I admit I tried to access the 7th (nonexistent) array element, stuck in my awk ways.

Note that tools like awk start counting elements at 1, while PowerShell and most other programming languages count elements starting at 0.

#Powershell grep from pipe code

Instead of declaring an array of elements by name, we create the array object by adding code around the split, accessing the 7th element of the array. This is what I came up with: PS /home/sec504> Get-Content /home/sec504/msolspray.txt | ForEach-Object

#Powershell grep from pipe password

Valid user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : user, but invalid password : need to get the email address in a file by itself for use in subsequent password spray attacks. Here's an example I needed to figure out: PS /home/sec504> Get-Content ~/msolspray.txt I agree, and finishing up my first week of #monthofpowershell, I still feel lost when I can't reach for awk/grep/cut/sed/tr. My friend Ron Bowes once told me that pen tests feel like 80% converting data from one format to another.
