## What it is
A curated collection of documented AppLocker bypass techniques for Windows, organized into verified, unverified, generic, and DLL-execution lists in Markdown and reusable YML formats. It also includes sample AppLocker block policies to help teams harden their configurations.

## Use cases
- find ways to bypass AppLocker default rules during a red team engagement
- test whether our AppLocker policy blocks known bypass techniques
- get a list of AppLocker bypasses in YML to feed into automated tooling
- harden AppLocker rules by blocking common bypass methods
- learn how insecure default AppLocker configurations are
- find DLL execution techniques that evade application whitelisting

## When to choose
- you are doing red team or purple team work against Windows AppLocker
- you need a reference list of known application whitelisting bypasses
- you are a defender validating or hardening AppLocker block rules

## When to avoid
- you need an automated bypass tool rather than documentation of techniques
- you are hardening macOS or Linux application controls
- you need actively maintained exploit code with guaranteed updates

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: applocker, bypass-techniques, red-team, blue-team, purple-team, powershell, defense-evasion, yml
