XploitProtection.xml + extra security settings below are focused on Windows Home & Pro consumers, gamers & small businesses (including privacy geeks) where agility is everything. Help update XploitProtection.xml and keep this repo growing with new entries. By using PoE (process of elimination) while applying WEPS and updating the .xml file here, we keep the most complete list online.

Import

Run XPROT.exe to change WEPS quickly. Update every so often (this will not remove any exiting settings) & reboot to activate, also after manually importing with this command:

Set-ProcessMitigation -PolicyFilePath "$HOME\Downloads\XploitProtection.xml"

Backup, Remove & Import

Some installations require temporarily removing protection: reboot & install the software, run again or import your own local XML. After restart, these policies block intrusions like botnets, cache exploits and more!

The standalone .EXE (or use PowerShell ISE to run this script) brings dramatic improvements to the interface that Windows offers today - WEPS Manager excels in speed for bulk actions & repetitive implementations, running tighter security with no trouble: remove & import settings again during any new installation. Be up to date in a few seconds.
