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.

This tool simulates a security compliance audit, checking system configurations against a defined benchmark (e.g., DISA STIG or CIS).

Prowler is a command-line tool that helps you with AWS security assessment, auditing, hardening, and incident response. It follows guidelines of the CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark (49 checks) and has more than 100 additional checks related to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO-27001, FFIEC, SOC2, and others. +200 checks covering security best practices across all AWS regions and most AWS services. ...

API Firewall is a high-performance proxy with API request and response validation based on OpenAPI/Swagger schema. It is designed to protect REST API endpoints in cloud-native environments. API Firewall provides API hardening with the use of a positive security model allowing calls that match a predefined API specification for requests and responses, while rejecting everything else.

Personal Security Checklist is a comprehensive, plain-language checklist for improving personal digital security and privacy across devices, accounts, and everyday workflows. It’s organized so that complete beginners can make quick, high-impact changes, while advanced users can dig into deeper hardening steps. The guidance spans topics like passwords, 2FA, device encryption, browser hygiene, network safety, backups, and incident response planning. Each section breaks recommendations into actionable, bite-sized items with brief explanations, helping you understand the “why” as well as the “how.” The repository is continuously refined by a large community, which keeps the content practical, vendor-neutral, and up to date with evolving threats and best practices. ...

...PQS v1.2 is a minimalistic, self-contained encryption engine for secure file protection, with zero reliance on external cryptographic libraries. PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200k iterations, adjustable) for password hardening. Key separation via BLAKE2s - independent keys for encryption and MAC. BLAKE2s-MAC authentication - 16-byte tag, any modification = instant rejection. Streaming keystream generator - secure, large-scale XOR without key reuse. Fake padding (HEAD/TAIL) - obfuscates binary boundaries and payload structure. Precise size encoding - restores original payload exactly. ...

...It is aimed primarily at defenders, incident responders, and security researchers who need a consolidated reference to understand common bypass vectors and to validate detection logic. The repository emphasizes defensive use—helping blue teams craft allow-list policies, create detection rules, and test policy hardening in isolated lab environments—rather than offensive exploitation.
