ScriptSentry : Uncovering And Mitigating Risks In Logon Scripts

ScriptSentry finds misconfigured and dangerous logon scripts. ScriptSentry is a powerful tool designed to detect misconfigured and hazardous logon scripts that can pose significant security risks.

It identifies unsafe permissions, plaintext credentials, and other vulnerabilities in UNC paths, GPOs, and NETLOGON/SYSVOL shares.

By highlighting these issues, ScriptSentry empowers organizations to secure their logon processes effectively.
