A curated awesome-list of security hardening techniques for Windows domains, compiled from conference research on attack mitigation. It catalogs tools, configurations, and practices to defend against common Windows attack paths.

Use cases

• harden a Windows Active Directory domain against attacks
• find techniques to prevent lateral movement in Windows environments
• learn how to secure PowerShell and block Office macros
• get a checklist for Windows endpoint security hardening
• mitigate credential theft attacks like Kerberoasting
• research defenses against common corporate hack techniques

When to choose

• you administer Windows domains or Active Directory and want a defense checklist
• you need a curated starting point of hardening resources and references
• you are preparing security recommendations for a Windows enterprise environment

When to avoid

• you need an executable tool rather than a reference list
• you need up-to-date guidance - the list has not been updated since 2020
• you are hardening non-Windows or non-domain environments
