NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool

Even if you are not a security expert, chances are you heard about the ransomware outbreak in May 2017. In short, the crafters of the WannaCry ransomware took advantage of a Windows vulnerability in an NSA report leaked to the public, infecting computers worldwide. The targeted systems host Windows editions older than 8, so Microsoft issued an urgent security patch to prevent WannaCry from spreading even further.

While you can download and install the Security Update for WannaCry Ransomware yourself, you can also use the NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool to analyze the PC for vulnerabilities mentioned in the NSA report and apply the patch instantly to get protection against future cyber attacks.

What the NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool does is scan your system to check if it is predisposed to potential incoming cyber attacks that can be based not only on EternalBlue, but also on EternalSynergy, EternalRomance, EclipsedWing, and the other vulnerabilities mentioned in NSA's confidential documents.

Once the analysis is complete, the NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool tells you whether the system is vulnerable or not and allows you to fix this issue by downloading the Microsoft patch and installing it. A restart might be required once the fixes are applied.

If you are running Windows 8 or older and did not yet find the time to download and apply the latest security updates, you are highly advised to do so. If manual updating is too much, then you can try the NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool to detect potentially exploitable vulnerabilities and help you take care of this problem.

The advantage of the NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool is that it can also run without an Internet connection. In other words, you can patch your PC without having to worry that the publicized WannaCry ransomware will reach your files.
