[QUOTE="ErzCrz, post: 1116711, member: 81799"] Half way down this page, you'll see the screenshots of the Pro version which includes system Lockdown. Andy's WHHL or H_C lock down your system using built-in windows hardens your system without the need for 3rd party software. Hard_Configurator ([URL='https://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator?tab=readme-ov-file#program-description']description[/URL]) is more for advanced users and stricter default policies whereas WHHL ([URL='https://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator/tree/master/WindowsHybridHardening#program-description']description[/URL]) is simpler and includes options for WDAC (Application Control). There's some videos about WHHL on Andy's [URL='https://www.youtube.com/@AndyKula-sk3dt']Youtube page[/URL]. ConfigureDefender does the same thing as DefenderUI but without the need to have an additional program running (DefenderUI uses abou 30MB ram). I mentioned WindowsFirewallHardening because CyberLock recently implemented a SmartFirewall feature which does the same thing, adding Windows Firewall Block rules for commonly exploited LOLBins (e.g. Notepad, Calculator, Eventviewer etc. Things that aren't meant to access the internet). In Hard_Configurator, you can access CD and FWH within its UI but you can download them separately all from his [URL='https://github.com/AndyFul']Github[/URL]. I used H_C full time for a year or so without any issue, there's nothing extra running in the background, you just open the UI when you need to check logs or make changes and close it again. I decided to go with CyberLock at the start of last year and ended up getting a lifetime license late last year bur I'd be running H_C if I didn't ;) I hope that explains it but [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] is the expert :D [/QUOTE]
