Hard Configurator - is a graphical user interface for advanced users only to manage Software Restriction Policies (SRP) and harden Windows Home editions from Vista up. This program can configure Windows built-in security to harden the system. When you close Hard_Configurator, it closes all its processes. The real-time protection comes from the reconfigured Windows settings. Hard_Configurator can be seen as a Medium Integrity Level smart default-deny setup, which is based on SRP + Application Reputation Service (forced SmartScreen) + Windows hardening settings (restricting vulnerable features). Features • Enabling Software Restriction Policies in Windows Home editions. • Changing SRP Security Levels, Enforcement options, and Designated File Types. • Whitelisting files in SRP by path (also with wildcards) and by hash. • Blocking vulnerable system executables via SRP (Bouncer blacklist). • Protecting (deny execution) writable subfolders in "C:Windows" folder (via SRP). • Restricting shortcut execution to some folders only (via SRP). • Enabling Windows Defender advanced settings, like PUA protection, ASR rules, Network Protection, etc. • Protecting against weaponized documents, when MS Office and Adobe Acrobat Reader XI/DC are used to open them. • Enabling "Run as administrator" for MSI files. • Disabling PowerShell script execution (Windows 7+). • Securing PowerShell by Constrained Language mode (SRP, PowerShell 5.0+) • Disabling execution of scripts managed by Windows Script Host. • Removing "Run As Administrator" option from the Explorer right-clicks context menu. • Forcing SmartScreen check for files without 'Mark Of The Web' (Windows 8+). • Disabling Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, Remote Shell, and Remote Registry. • Disabling execution of 16-bit applications. • Securing Shell Extensions. • Disabling SMB protocols. • Disabling program elevation on Standard User Account. • Disabling Cached Logons. • Forcing the Secure Attention Sequence before the User Account Control prompt. • Filtering Windows Event Log for blocked file execution events (Nirsoft FullEventLogView). • Filtering autoruns from the User Space, and script autoruns from anywhere (Sysinternals Autoruns). • Enabling & Filtering Advanced SRP logging. • Turning ON/OFF all the above restrictions. • Restoring Windows Defaults. • Making System Restore Point. • Using predefined setting profiles for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. • Saving the chosen restrictions as a profile, and restoring when needed. • Backup management for Profile Base (whitelist profiles and setting profiles). • Changing GUI skin. • Updating application. • Uninstalling application (Windows defaults restored).
