Take a look at the whoer.net as well for leaks.

No leaks, but detected it was a proxy as port 8080 was open. Forgot this site existed xD

Don't believe in using PW Managers

Care to elaborate more than "PWs are stored in brainnexus.exe"?

My brain remembers all the PWs. Having a photographic memory is great.

Edit: never forgotten a password for any account in over 7 years.

I am still running SysHardener.

How did you specifically go around mixing SysHardener with Hard_configurator? I've got a thread open about using them two together but it seems only for the intelligent and skilled people

I don't use the Designated File Types in Hard_Configure, this is dealt with using Syshardener, I believe where the key lays is understanding what works better in either program. In Hard Configuer I use: No Powershell Exec Hard Configuer seems to have a better way of reducing the attack surface on this option then Syshardener. Block Sponsors/More SRP are off due to shortcuts/taskbar shortcuts not working as they should. For File Type Extensions I find Syshardener easier to use. Syshardener can also disable unused Windows Services which could be use to exploit the system, some of these aren't touched (read below).

With Hard_Configure you have the option to Run Everything through Smartscreen which is amazing.

One thing to note is not to treat Syshardener like a 75 option swiss army knife, you're only looking for things to go wrong.

How complex are ALL the memorised passwords (a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and Symbols, Readable)?

Probably something I won't divulge on here. (reminds me of that paranoia thread again)...

I forget simple passwords within a day sometimes, not even complex characters, just simple word and number yet I forget it:emoji_expressionless:

For disabling unused services, the best configurator is probably ESO:
Easy Service Optimizer v1.2

When using SysHardener to block file extensions you cannot:

1. block in the Userspace files with some dangerous extensions like: chm, cmd, cpl, msc, msp, mst, settingcontent-ms, URL, etc.;
2. most extensions from SysHardener are blocked anyway by SRP in the Userspace even when you have empty SRP DFT list: bat, js, jse, vbs, vbe, wsf, wsh;
3. you cannot open/run files with blocked extensions even if they are located in the safe location (Program Files);
4. you cannot whitelist files with blocked extensions;
5. you cannot use the Hard_Configurator Log, to see the paths of blocked files by extension.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll take a look at Easy Optimizer when I get back from chemotherapy!

So has forticlient already fixed the problem, where windows defender is turned on along with forticlient?

For me it seems to have fixed fairly well. Forticlients web filter also works with Vivaldi too.
