What are these tools?

I’m not talking about anti-spywares that needs to be installed and regularly updated. I’m talking about simple “no-install” tools that are easy to configure and apply. They protect us from the same threat even if they function a little different from those main anti-intrusion tools.

WWDC

WWDC is a simple no-install software that allows you to close insecure Windows services that are often difficult to disable using windows services console. These services are known to be exploited by existing and future exploits. There’s no harm closing these ports so there’s no need for you to worry about Blue Screen of Death (blue image screen that shows up when you get an error).

services such as:
DCOM RPC (port 135)
RPC LOCATOR (port 445)
NET BIOS (port 137/138/139)
UPNP (port 5000)
MESSENGER (NETBIOS/RPC ports)

Secure-It

Secure-It is a tool that helps us harden our Windows system by either disabling the intrusion and propagation vectors proactively or reduce the attack surface by disabling underlying functionality malware uses to execute itself.

It acts almost the same way like WWDC. However, this tool secures other areas of your Windows system.

such as:
· Harden your Local Zone Security (My Computer) settings.
· Proactively disable scripting or Active-X controls which proved potential propagation vectors in the past.
· Reduce potential intrusion vectors by disabling non used services.
· Various other protections

IntelliAdmin Reduced Permission

IE

If you are still using Windows IE (I command you to switch to Firefox! lol! just kidding.), you can secure your browser by running it as a limited user.

The shortcut created by this tool will allow you to launch IE with all of the power user and administrative images removed.
