Certainly! Here's an example of how you can utilize WDAC's path-based policies to allow specific binaries to run while blocking others:
1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor by pressing Windows + R, typing "gpedit.msc," and hitting Enter.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Application Control Policies > Applocker.
3. Right-click on "Executable Rules" and select "Create New Rule."
4. In the "Create Executable Rules" wizard, choose the "Path" rule type.
5. Select whether you want to create a rule for "Publisher Hash," "Product Name," "File Hash," or "Path." In this example, choose "Path."
6. Specify the path of the binary you want to allow or block. You can type the exact path or use wildcards to match multiple files. For example, you can use "C:\Program Files\MyApp\*" to match all files in that directory.
7. Choose whether you want to "Allow" or "Deny" the specified path.
8. Review the rule details and click "Create" to create the rule.
By creating path-based rules like this, you can selectively allow or block specific binaries from running on your system. It gives you the flexibility to control which files are allowed to execute while still maintaining a level of security.
Please note that the steps provided above are for illustrative purposes and may vary depending on your specific version of Windows or administrative configuration. It's recommended to consult Microsoft documentation or seek additional guidance to ensure proper implementation of WDAC path-based policies.
