PowerView is a PowerShell tool used for Active Directory enumeration. It is part of the PowerSploit framework and allows penetration testers to gather detailed information about the AD environment, including user accounts, groups, computers, shares, and trust relationships.
PowerView is most commonly used to:
Enumerate domain users, groups, and memberships
Identify privileged users and group memberships
Discover domain trusts and permissions
According to the CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-003 Official Study Guide (Chapter 8 – Post-Exploitation and Lateral Movement):
“PowerView is a post-exploitation tool used primarily for Active Directory reconnaissance, including user and group enumeration, identifying domain trusts, and mapping out the AD structure.”
