C/C++/C# for Red team
C# for Windows, EDR bypassing. Windows API and native API calls, undocumented API calls and similar. Look at things like this blog here https://www.inversecos.com/2022/03/windows-event-log-evasion-via-native.html and other resources such as the Windows Internals. Sektor7 would be good with their AV bypass courses, but I have only heard of reviews being good, but not done the courses so DYOR. Try the PentesterAcademy courses on Windows. PowerShell pentesting. Frameworks like Empire in Kali, https://www.kali.org/tools/powershell-empire/ && https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

Using Empire4 without Kali
First of all, Empire4 is a post-exploitation framework, such as Cobalt Strike, Covenant or Meterpreter. It actually rely a lot on Meterpreter, as I will explain later. This means it allows you to deploy listeners in your server and configure attacks connected to them. Empire itself was active for so many years and became deprecated, then Empire4 came up using updated resources. It's open source and it's used for both threat actors (cybercriminals) and offensive security auditors, as well as students of course.
