SysInternals

Sysinternals provide a suite of nice tools to look for possible misconfigured states or inner workings of the system.

For example:

• Listing active HANDLEs
• Listing loaded ddls
• Listing active Volumes (incl. hidden / unmounted)
• Checking access control of files/registry/pipes etc.
• ...

Here is just a quick reminder how to deploy it.

Download

Download: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite

Fetch:

• Sysinternals Suite
• Sysinternals Suite for Nano Server

Extract each to their own folder on the console.

Accept the EULA via reg key

Normally each tool requires the additional argument -accepteula on the commandline - on each call!

Instead, execute this in powershell just once: New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Sysinternals' -Name 'EulaAccepted' -Value '1' -PropertyType DWORD -Force

Profit!
