One of the tools that i like to use for basic security demos in OCI is Mandiant Commando VM.

Other tool that you can use it very easy in OCI Is Kali Linux, but today I will show how easy is to deploy Commando VM on a windows server. (The requirement from Commando VM is Windows 10, but it also works perfect on Windows Server 2012/2016/2019).

1st step is to provision the Windows Instance in OCI and next step is to get the Powershell installer from Mandiant github repository.
