I know about layered security and all that stuff, but in the end AppLocker would just help against your regular day to day malware that a user downloads from the web misguided as something we wants, the typical "", "" and so on. It's main purpose isn't to stop malware, but it does help. Applocker is part of a layered security approach where you decide what can and can't run on your systems. > You misinterpreted my malware reference.

This workaround is something I must do because orders.

Usually, even before thinking about application control I go to the SCCM team to get the software homologation and installation straight, could not this time. This is not the first time I deal with AppLocker, but it's the first time I have to implement it in a very messy environment with lots of issues and limitations. I know the best practices, I know what I have in place is not best practice. I don't want a "how to implement AppLocker" guide, this is not a "give me best practices" topic. Let me clear things out as it's getting out of the scope of the topic. The only env vars available for AppLocker are those. You mentioned the use of some allow rules with the file paths %appdata% and %localappdata%, but sadly those environment variables does not work with AppLocker. Every documentation and guides out there clearly say that AppLocker is not there to block malwares, it should not be treated as an AV, we have proper AV and other tools to deal with that, my focus here is non-homologated software installation and execution of portables. I saw that you mentioned malware and AppLocker, but I will have to stop you right there, because this is not AppLocker's job.

With that in mind, the objective of this initial AppLocker deployment is to at least minimize the installation of non-homologated software and the execution of portable software inside the "User" realm.

shadow IT that is critical to the business? What a joke! I can't risk blocking the xampp server that is running under "John's desk" that hold some important dashboards to areas worldwide. I work in a very big company that has a bunch of shadow IT that are critical to some processes. I know this is a lame approach, but it's one needed for initial AppLocker deployment in the company without breaking everything. My rule turned that into a blacklist, because I allow everything but the folders specified (3D Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc.). I know that by design AppLocker has an implicit deny, basically a whitelist. The main reason not to do this is because having this policy in place would allow your end users to run any portable app and worse, would not prevent malware to run from its default location (%appdata%)Īn more ideal setup of applocker would see you make a list of software you want whitelisted and add the executables using the publisher rule. Given that, and provided that you actually do want to allow all axecutables from %appdata% (which somewhat defeats the purpose of applocker alltogether), you only need one allow rule for roaming appdata: all users with filepathcondition %appdata%Īnd one for local appdata: all users with filepathcondition of %localappdata% Is there a way to make the asterisk (*) non greed? I only use asterisk (*) for the rule above because I need it to apply to any user folder (e.g., C:\Users\Alice\, C:\Users\Bob\ etc.).įrom your description it looks like you are trying to blacklist folders that should not be able to have its content executed with a desired end result of allowing all user's appdata to be whitelisted.īy default, applocker policies have an implicit deny - anything not listed is denied by default (. How can I fix that? The way the rules are configured, any folder with a title 3D Objects, Contacts, Desktop, Documents and so on, would have their executables blocked, even though I want that any and all executables inside %APPDATA%\* can run. matches the path \Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe and matches \Users\\AppData\Local\Cool Company\Documents\bin\app.exe because they have the keywords in their paths.
