Why should we use Python instead of PowerShell for executing Exchange PowerShell commands during penetration testing?
Using PowerShell directly can trigger security monitoring solutions, so implementing it via a program like Python reduces detection risk. The article demonstrates using the pypsrp library to connect to an Exchange server, authenticate (Kerberos or Basic), and execute commands without invoking PowerShell. This approach is detailed in Penetration Technique: Python Implementation of Exchange PowerShell.
