Windows Security Hardening and Auditing Checks ⚡

[princechaddha]

We are expanding the Nuclei Templates to include a specialized set of security checks dedicated to Windows Security Hardening and Auditing. This initiative will focus on identifying insecure configurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps across Windows environments. The new templates will cover critical security areas such as password policies, encryption settings, certificate validation, remote access configurations, and more.

These templates will help security teams perform comprehensive audits of Windows configurations, identifying misconfigurations that could lead to potential vulnerabilities. Additionally, they will assist in implementing industry-standard hardening practices to secure systems against exploitation.

Key aspects of this initiative include:

• To identify insecure configurations and guide users toward stronger security postures.
• To ensure compliance with security benchmarks and standards.
• Allowing users to modify checks to suit their unique security needs.
• Enabling efficient identification and remediation of security gaps in Windows environments.

We welcome contributions and feedback from the community to help refine and improve these security checks. This issue will serve as the central thread to track the development, collaboration, and implementation progress of these Windows Security Hardening and Auditing templates.
