This repository, also known as HardeningKitty, is a comprehensive Windows hardening checklist for personal and enterprise environments. It translates security benchmarks (e.g., CIS, Microsoft Security Baselines) into actionable Group Policy and registry recommendations. Though designed primarily for Windows 10, it includes workaround modes such as “HailMary” for Windows Home users lacking the Group Policy Editor.

Features

  • Provides thousands of benchmark-based hardening settings
  • Reg‑based and GPO‑based control with CSV schema for automation
  • Supports “HailMary mode” enabling registry tweaks for Home editions
  • Translate settings into machine-readable input lists
  • Open‑source checklist maintained by infosec professionals
  • Clear release history and issue tracking for updating configurations
