DynamicHelper

Introduction

This module has some tools that point you towards a newly installed app. This wont catch sneaky apps so you still may want to run ProcMon or similar, but it lets you know fairly quickly where to point your analysis tools at. Each function should have help which can be accessed by invoking Get-Help <modulename>

Installation

Load the module with the command Import-Module /path/to/DynamicHelper.psm1 You may want to place this in your ~/Documents/Powershell/Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 startup script if you want to have it available all the time. Versions other than 7.x put the profile script in different locations and some of the code will not work in anything but version 7.x.

QuickStart

The command Get-SystemReport will call every function except Get-NewFile and output a report (optional JSON output) of new things in the system. You can specify the lookback period (default 30 minutes) with options specified Get-Help Get-PastDate. Example: Get-SystemReport -hour 1

Commands

You can get a list of loaded commands by typing Get-Command -Module DynamicHelper
