killer-scripts

A collection of PowerShell tools built for MSP field technicians and systems administrators. Every script is designed to run reliably across PowerShell 5.1, PowerShell 7, and Kaseya LiveConnect with no external dependencies unless noted. All scripts require elevation.

Each script is named as an acronym — because if you're going to spend 40 hours writing a tool, it deserves a good name.
