Found a way to make wymcmd terminate something it should refuse, escape the protected-process guard, or elevate through one of its setup paths? Open a GitHub issue with the words "security" in the title, or write to talkdedsec@proton.me. Please include the build, the command you ran and what happened.

What this tool can do

wymcmd can terminate processes and change three machine settings:

  • audit policy for process creation (auditpol, Process Creation subcategory)
  • ProcessCreationIncludeCmdLine_Enabled
  • PowerShell script block logging

It only changes them when you run wymcmd sources enable, and it writes a journal so wymcmd uninstall reverts exactly what it turned on and nothing else. The black box is an ETW AutoLogger registry entry plus a capped trace file; removing it deletes both.

What it never does

No network calls, no telemetry, no automatic updates. The optional hash lookup is off by default. Nothing is enforced unless you write a rule and run in live, trap or watchdog mode.
