## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 76/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 97, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2622, "days_push": 20, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of relatively simple C and PowerShell snippets for digging deeper into Windows internals, security, and forensics. Each folder contains a small self-contained tool or technique with explanatory comments or a readme.

## Use cases
- manipulate NTFS file timestamps without leaving USN Journal traces
- explore AppLocker bypass techniques
- study Windows persistence via services
- perform file history forensics on Windows
- learn Windows internals through small code examples
- compile small Windows security tools with Visual Studio

## When to choose
- you need small, focused Windows security or forensics utilities
- you want to learn Windows internals from commented source code
- you are researching offensive or defensive Windows techniques

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, supported product with a UI
- you work on non-Windows platforms
- you need production-grade, tested software rather than experimental snippets

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools, reverse-engineering, penetration-testing
- domain: security, windows, developer-tools, reverse-engineering
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: windows-internals, forensics, powershell, c-snippets, red-team, ntfs, offensive-security
