Why is Python preferred over PowerShell for remote Exchange PowerShell execution in penetration testing?
In penetration testing, we often avoid using PowerShell to reduce detection and logs. Python provides a more flexible and stealthy way to remotely execute Exchange PowerShell commands. As described in Penetration Technique: Python Implementation of Exchange PowerShell, tools like `pypsrp` allow us to interface with Exchange servers without relying on native PowerShell sessions, making it ideal for red team operations.
