The goal of Shutter is to manage windows network stack communication via Windows Filtering Platform. Management can include blocking or permiting traffic based on IP or an executable that initiates or receives the traffic.
This is useful to blackhole event logging, defensive agent communication, or explicitly permit specific executables to communicate if they have been previously restricted by policy.
Shutter installs rules in a memory running session without touching the windows firewall itself or invocation of netsh command, thereby minimizing detection during long haul RT operations.
As a generic mechanism for managing network traffic it can help RTOs in:
- punching through firewalls without shutting them down
- not creating persistent rules
- evading reporting on
netshinvocation - blackholing EDRs and activity supervising agents.
- studying existing security providers, active filters and network endpoints involved in network communication
For now, IPv4 support is implemented, with or without applciation paths (see examples)
![Architecture](Docs/images/ShutterArch.png ="500x400")
- It needs to run elevated (due to WFP).
- Opsec - TBD
