Why do you use obsolete security technologies such as SRP?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1082886, member: 32260"] SRP and AppLocker are super old but not obsolete. SRP is a deprecated feature = it will not be actively developed by Microsoft. SRP is still used on several Windows editions: [URL unfurl="true"]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/software-restriction-policies/software-restriction-policies-technical-overview[/URL] SRP and AppLocker work well on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Both can work well with WDAC and SAC. [B]AppLocker can apply restrictions per user (WDAC cannot). SRP can restrict many file types (via ShellExecute function) - WDAC can restrict only a few file types. AppLocker and SRP can be managed on Windows Home (both can be managed without GPO) - WDAC cannot (except when one uses WHHLight). etc. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]I know well SRP, AppLocker, and WDAC - I do not share your opinion about AppLocker and SRP (especially in the home environment). It is true that in Enterprises, it is recommended to use WDAC. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
