The finding list C:\root\HardeningKitty\lists\finding_list_0x6d69636b_machine.csv was not found

[mjstark]

Following your instructins;

1. Import-Module .\HardeningKitty.psm1
2. Invoke-HardeningKitty -EmojiSupport

...and I get this error regarding finding_list cannot be found? Do i need to create some list of computers in csv format? I don't understand where we are supposed to download these finding CSV files. You briefly mention the list but don't provide how to use the list with the command.

Get back to me on this as soon as you can.

Thank u kindly

Hello, i take the liberty to answer you in the place of the maintainer. Read the readme next time... :
https://github.com/0x6d69636b/windows_hardening?tab=readme-ov-file#audit
you can use the -FileFindingList parameter to specify a list.

Predefined lists are available here: https://github.com/0x6d69636b/windows_hardening/tree/master/lists

@ryukk33 Thank you for answering :-)

@mjstark See the documentation for installing HardeningKitty. The list directory is an essential part. Otherwise, you can clone the repo or download it as ZIP archive

Hi, @ryukk33,

I noticed that win 2025 csv was not in the finding list.

will you be creating a csv file for Win 2025? ...I ran the 2022 csv on Win 2025 and it came back "0", being "Insufficient". I assumed, based on my experience that win 2022 and win 2025 GPO's probably haven't changed for some time, but maybe the regisry so the csv for 2022 should of worked. I know the kernel's are different.

1 | 😾 Bogus | Insufficient -- | -- | --

Hi ryukk33, see screenshot below. Is this normal behaviour? Getting "1" when running this on Win 2022 STD and Win 2025.

The script ran without a findings list and no checks were performed. Therefore, HardeningKitty cannot award you any points ;-)
