-## Exploit Protection
+# Evaluate Exploit Protection
+
+
+Exploit Protection applies helps protect devices from malware that use exploits to spread and infect. It consists of a number of mitigations that can be applied at either the operating system level, or at the individual app level.
+
+Many of the features that are part of the Enhance Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) are included in Exploit Protection. See the [Comparison between EMET and Exploit Protection](emet-exploit-protection-exploit-guard.md).
+
+This topcs helps you evaluate Exploit Protection. See the [Exploit Protection topic](exploit-protection-exploit-guard.md) for more information on what Exploit Protection does and how to configure it for real-world deployment.
+
+>[NOTE]
+>This topic uses PowerShell cmdlets to make it easy to enable the feature and test it. 
+>For instructions on how to use Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM to deploy these settings across your network, see the main [Exploit Protection topic](exploit-protection-exploit-guard.md) .
+
+
+## Enable and validate an Exploit Protection mitigation
+
+For this demo we're going to enable the mitigation that prevents child processes from being created. We'll use Internet Explorer as the parent app.
+
+First, enable the mitigation using PowerShell, and then confirm that it has been applied in the Windows Defender Security Center app:
+
+1. Type **powershell** in the Start menu, right click **Windows PowerShell** and click **Run as administrator**
+
+2. Enter the following cmdlet:
+
+    ```PowerShell
+    Set—ProcessMitigation –Name iexplore.exe –Enable DisallowChildProcessCreation
+    ```
+
+1. Open the Windows Defender Security Center by clicking the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for **Defender**.
+
+2. Click the **App & browser control** tile (or the app icon on the left menu bar) and then **Exploit protection settings** at the bottom of the screen.
+
+3.	Go to the **Program settings** section, scroll down, click **iexplore.exe**, and then **Edit**.
+
+4. Find the **Do not allow child processes** setting and make sure that **Override System settings** is enabled and the switch is set to **On**.
+
+Now that we know the mitigation has been enabled, we can test to see if it works and what the experience would be for an end user:
+
+1. Type **run** in the Start menu andp ress **Enter** to open the run dialog box.
+
+2. Type **iexplore.exe** and press **Enter** or click **OK** to attempt to open Internet Explorer.
+
+3. Internet Explorer should briefly open and then immediately shut down again, indicating that the mitigation was applied and prevented Internet Explorer from opening a child process (its own process).
+
+Lastly, we can disable the mitigation so that Internet Explorer works properly again:
+
+1. Open the Windows Defender Security Center by clicking the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for **Defender**.
+
+2. Click the **App & browser control** tile (or the app icon on the left menu bar) and then **Exploit protection settings** at the bottom of the screen.
+
+3.	Go to the **Program settings** section, scroll down, click **iexplore.exe**, and then **Edit**.
+
+4. Find the **Do not allow child processes** setting and set the switch to **Off**. Click **Apply**
+
+5. Validate that Internet Explorer runs by running it from the run dialog box again. It should open as expected.
+
+
+## Review Exploit Protection events in Windows Event Viewer
+
+You can now review the events that Exploit Protection sent to the Windows Event log to confirm what happened:
+
+1. Download the [Exploit Guard Evaluation Package](#) and extract the file *ep-events.xml* to an easily accessible location on the machine.
+
+2. Type **Event viewer** in the Start menu to open the Windows Event Viewer.
+
+3. On the left panel, under **Actions**, click **Import custom view...**
+
+4. Navigate to where you extracted *ep-events.xml* and select it. Alternatively, [copy the XML directly](event-views-exploit-guard.md).
+
+4. Click **OK**.
+
+5. This will create a custom view that filters to only show the following events related to Exploit Protection, which are all listed in the [Exploit Protection](exploit-protection-exploit-guard.md) topic.
+
+6. The specific event to look for in this demo is event ID 4, which should have the following or similar information:
+
+    Process '\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe' (PID 4692) was blocked from creating a child process 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE' with command line '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" SCODEF:4692 CREDAT:75009 /prefetch:2'. 
+
+
+## Use audit mode to measure impact
+
+As with other Windows Defender EG features, you can enable Exploit Protection in audit mode. You can enable audit mode for individual mitigations.
+
+This lets you see a record of what *would* have happened if you had enabled the mitigation.
+
+You might want to do this when testing how the feature will work in your organization, to ensure it doesn't affect your line-of-business apps, and to get an idea of how many suspicious or malicious events generally occur over a certain period.
+
+See the [**PowerShell reference** section in the Customize Exploit Protection topic](customize-exploit-protection.md#powershell-reference) for a list of which mitigations can be audited and instructions on enabling the mode.
+
+For further details on how audit mode works, and when you might want to use it, see the [audit Windows Defender Exploit Guard topic](audit-windows-defender-exploit-guard.md).

-## Policy settings for Windows Defender EG
-The MDM policy settings for Windows Defender EG are listed in this section, along with example settings. 
-### Exploit Protection
-Exploit Protection has an improved manageability experience over EMET, including support for SCCM, Intune, Powershell, and Group Policy management.
->
-> Note: SCCM and Intune will be supported in furture releases.
-You can specify a common set of WD Exploit Guard system and application mitigation settings that can be applied to all endpoints that have this GP setting configured.
-Note, however, that there are some prerequisites before you can enable this setting:
-- Manually configure a device's system and application mitigation settings using the *Set-ProcessMitigation* PowerShell cmdlet, the *ConvertTo-ProcessMitigationPolicy* PowerShell cmdlet, or directly in the Windows Defender Security Center
->
-> Note: Endpoints that have this GP setting set to **Enabled** must be able to access the XML file, otherwise the settings will not be applied.
-- Generate an XML file with the settings from the device by running the *Get-ProcessMitigation* PowerShell cmdlet or using the **Export** button at the bottom of the **Exploit Protection** area in the Windows Defender Security Center.
-- Place the generated XML file in a shared or local path. 
-
-#### Group policy
-
-The Exploit Protection feature can be configured with the following Group Policy details: 
-- Location:  \Microsoft\Windows Defender Exploit Guard\Exploit Protection
-- Name:  Use a common set of Exploit Protection settings
-- Values: **Enabled**: Specify the location of the XML file in the Options section. You can use a local (or mapped) path, a UNC path, or a URL, such as the following:
--- C:\MitigationSettings\Config.XML
---  \\Server\Share\Config.xml
---  https://localhost:8080/Config.xml
-
-The settings in the XML file will be applied to the endpoint. 
-
-**Disabled:** Common settings will not be applied, and the locally configured settings will be used instead.
-
-**Not configured:** Same as **Disabled**.
-
-#### PowerShell
-
-You can also use powershell to set these mitigation policies and to convert EMET policies to Windows Defender EG, as demonstrated in the following examples: 
-
-Get the current settings in the registry for processName.exe
-```
-Get-ProcessMitigation -Name processName.exe 
-```
-
-Exports the current settings to the filename.xml
-```
-Get-ProcessMitigation -RegistryConfigFilePath filename.xml 
-```
-
-Imports the settings in filename.xml to the system.
-```
-Set-ProcessMitigation -PolicyFilePath filename.xml 
-```
-
-Enables a list of mitigations
-```
-Set-ProcessMitigation -Name processName.exe -Enable SEHOP,DEP 
-```
-
-Disables a list of mitigations
-```
-Set-ProcessMitigation -Name processName.exe -Disable SEHOP,DEP 
-```
-
-Sets the EAFModules for dllName1.dll & dllName2.dll for processName.exe
-```
-Set-ProcessMitigation -Name processName.exe -Enable EnableExportAddressFilterPlus -EAFModules dllName1.dll,dllName2.dll 
-```
-
-Converts an emet file named, emetFile.xml, to the new windows 10 format called, filename.xml
-```
-ConvertTo-ProcessMitigationPolicy -EMETFilePath emetFile.xml -OutputFilePath filename.xml 
-```
-
-
-### Make sure things are working
-
-1. Apply a mitigation setting:
-a. Launch PowerShell as an admin and run **Set—ProcessMitigation –Name iexplore.exe –Enable DisallowChildProcessCreation** 
-2. Validate that the setting is correctly applied: 
-a. Open Windows Defender Security Center -> App & browser control
-b. Scroll to the bottom and under **Exploit protection**, click **Exploit protection settings** and navigate to the **Program settings** pivot
-c. Scroll down to **iexplore.exe**, click on it and click **Edit**
-d. Find the **Do not allow child processes** setting and make sure that **Override System settings** and **On** are set
-3. Validate that Internet Explorer won’t run:
-a. Try launching iexplore.exe via the run dialog
-b. An IE frame should appear and then close
-4. Validate that event viewer reports that the mitigation fired: 
-a. Open Event Viewer
-b. Navigate to Applications and Services Log -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Security-Mitigations -> Kernel Mode
-c. Check for the following entry for Internet Explorer (event ID 4)
-
-Process '\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe' (PID 4692) was blocked from creating a child process 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE' with command line '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" SCODEF:4692 CREDAT:75009 /prefetch:2'. 
-
-5. Undo the mitigation setting:
-a. Open Windows Defender Security Center -> App & browser control
-b. Scroll to the bottom and under **Exploit protection**, click on **Exploit protection settings** and navigate to the **Program settings** pivot
-c. Scroll down to **iexplore.exe**, click on it and click **Edit**
-d. Find the **Do not allow child processes **setting and toggle the **On** to **Off**
-e. Click **Apply**
-6. Validate that Internet Explorer runs:
-a. Try launching iexplore.exe via the run dialog
-b. IE should open as expected
-
-
-### Converting and Applying an EMET config:
-1. Export the existing EMET configuration. This can be done from the "Export" button in the GUI, or by running the command: **emet_conf.exe –export emetConfig.xml** 
-2. In an elevated PowerShell window, convert the exported configuration with: **ConvertTo-ProcessMitigationPolicy -EMETFilePath emetConfig.xml -OutputFilePath win10Config.xml** 
-3. Note that this may give you some warnings, but these should be safe to ignore. 
-4. Apply the new configuration: from an elevated PowerShell window run **Set-ProcessMitigation -RegistryConfigFilePath win10Config.xml **
-5. From here you can check or edit the settings in the new interface in the Windows Defender Security Center or with **Get-ProcessMitigation** (this command by itself will output the entire current state of the mitigations to the shell), and **Set-ProcessMitigation** respectively. 
-
-
-### Managing Exploit Protection through Group Policy
-1. Launch Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) and from within and existing or new GPO navigate to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender Exploit Guard\Exploit Protection** and open the policy named *Use a common set of exploit protection settings*.
-2. Enable the setting as seen below and point to an accessible location for the client machines to the recently created XML.
-3. Apply the new GP to targeted machines by direction OU membership, Security Group or WMI filter.

+### Managing exploit protection through Group Policy
+1. Launch Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) and from within and existing or new GPO navigate to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender Exploit Guard\Exploit Protection** and open the policy named *Use a common set of exploit protection settings*.
+2. Enable the setting as seen below and point to an accessible location for the client machines to the recently created XML.
+3. Apply the new GP to targeted machines by direction OU membership, Security Group or WMI filter.
+ 
+- Manually configure a device's system and application mitigation settings using the *Set-ProcessMitigation* PowerShell cmdlet, the *ConvertTo-ProcessMitigationPolicy* PowerShell cmdlet, or directly in the Windows Defender Security Center
+>
+> Note: Endpoints that have this GP setting set to **Enabled** must be able to access the XML file, otherwise the settings will not be applied.
+- Generate an XML file with the settings from the device by running the *Get-ProcessMitigation* PowerShell cmdlet or using the **Export** button at the bottom of the **Exploit Protection** area in the Windows Defender Security Center.
+- Place the generated XML file in a shared or local path. 
+
+
+### Converting and Applying an EMET config:
+1. Export the existing EMET configuration. This can be done from the "Export" button in the GUI, or by running the command: **emet_conf.exe –export emetConfig.xml** 
+2. In an elevated PowerShell window, convert the exported configuration with: **ConvertTo-ProcessMitigationPolicy -EMETFilePath emetConfig.xml -OutputFilePath win10Config.xml** 
+3. Note that this may give you some warnings, but these should be safe to ignore. 
+4. Apply the new configuration: from an elevated PowerShell window run **Set-ProcessMitigation -RegistryConfigFilePath win10Config.xml **
+5. From here you can check or edit the settings in the new interface in the Windows Defender Security Center or with **Get-ProcessMitigation** (this command by itself will output the entire current state of the mitigations to the shell), and **Set-ProcessMitigation** respectively. 
+
+#### Group policy
+
+The Exploit Protection feature can be configured with the following Group Policy details: 
+- Location:  \Microsoft\Windows Defender Exploit Guard\Exploit Protection
+- Name:  Use a common set of Exploit Protection settings
+- Values: **Enabled**: Specify the location of the XML file in the Options section. You can use a local (or mapped) path, a UNC path, or a URL, such as the following:
+-- C:\MitigationSettings\Config.XML
+--  \\Server\Share\Config.xml
+--  https://localhost:8080/Config.xml
+
+The settings in the XML file will be applied to the endpoint. 
+
+**Disabled:** Common settings will not be applied, and the locally configured settings will be used instead.
+
+**Not configured:** Same as **Disabled**.
