tao Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hardentools is a free open source program for the Microsoft Windows operating system that will harden the system by disabling features. The Windows operating system ships with a broad range of features. Some of these features are enabled for compatibility reasons on all editions of Windows. While these features have their uses in certain environments, Enterprise for instance, they may not be used by the majority of home users. The main idea behind Hardentools is to turn off these features to make Windows more secure in the process. Note: You need to make sure that you don't require the features that Hardentools disables on Windows, as you won't be able to use them afterwards anymore. [Please] Read on to find out which features get disabled when you run the tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
