Use the -Scans parameter to choose which vulnerabilities to scan for. Acceptable values include All, Auditing, ESC1, ESC2, ESC3, ESC4, ESC5, ESC6, ESC8, ESC11, ESC13, ESC15, EKEUwu, or PromptMe. The PromptMe option presents an interactive list allowing you to select one or more scans.

# Run all scans
Invoke-Locksmith -Scan All

# Prompt the user for a list of scans to select
Invoke-Locksmith.ps1 -Scans PromptMe

# Scan for ESC1 vulnerable paths
Invoke-Locksmith.ps1 -Scans ESC1

# Scan for ESC1, ESC2, and ESC8 vulnerable paths
