## Installation on a Kali VM

* When I wanted to install it for a lab I was playing it on TryHackMe, the instuctions did not work on my end.
* So I decided to document here a stable install.
* This install is based on [this youtube video by Professor K](https://youtu.be/6eqrnZzffJ4).
* First make a snapshot of your VM prior to the install to be sure that you can roll back in case something goes wrong.
* `sudo su` make yourself root for this process
* `apt update && apt -y full-upgrade` update and upgrade your VM
* Make another snapshot of it afterwards.
* `sudo apt install -y powershell-empire starkiller` install powershell empire and starkiller

## Launch

* `sudo powershell-empire server` start the server
* `sudo powershell-empire client` start the client
* `starkiller` --no-sandbox
* Default creds are `empireadmin:password123`
