Getting Started with PoshC2 in a Linux Environment

About the Project

For the first time Arch Cloud Labs will be posting a video tutorial on how to get started with PoshC2 in a Linux environment. This video assumes some prior experience with Linux/offensive tooling frameworks, and provides just enough information to get you up and running with PoshC2. For those interested in what the exact configurations used in the video were, please checkout the snippets below.
