Hardentools v2.2 beta3 - disables a number of risky Windows features

[itsMe]

Hardentools is a collection of simple utilities designed to disable a number of “features” exposed by operating systems (Microsoft Windows, for now), and primary consumer applications. These features, commonly thought for Enterprise customers, are generally useless to regular users and rather pose as dangers as they are very commonly abused by attackers to execute malicious code on a victim’s computer. The intent of this tool is to simply reduce the attack surface by disabling the low-hanging fruit. Hardentools is intended for individuals at risk, who might want an extra level of security at the price of some usability. It is not intended for corporate environments.

What Hardentools IS NOT

    Hardentools is NOT an Antivirus. It does not protect your computer. It doesn't identify, block, or remove any malware.
    It does NOT prevent software from being exploited.
    It does NOT prevent the abuse of every available risky feature.
    It does NOT prevent the changes it implements from being reverted. If malicious code runs on the system and it is able to restore them, the premise of the tool is defeated.
