Verify before you run

Every release ships SHA-256 checksums, an SBOM and GitHub build provenance. Releases are not yet Authenticode-signed (the project holds no code-signing certificate) so Windows will warn on first run. Verify integrity yourself:

# example: calculate the x64 portable ZIP SHA-256

Get-FileHash winsight-v0.12.0-win-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

# build provenance

gh attestation verify winsight-v0.12.0-win-x64.zip --repo ClementG91/winsight

Install in four steps

  1. 01

    Download the installer matching your processor architecture from the latest GitHub release.

  2. 02

    Verify its checksum using the adjacent .sha256 file, and optionally the GitHub attestation.

  3. 03

    Run the installer and select English, French or Spanish. No elevation requested.

  4. 04

    Launch WinSight from the Start menu and run your first Overview scan.

Optional: the outbound-firewall service

The firewall service is deliberately not installed by setup. It registers a LocalSystem service and mutates the Windows Filtering Platform, which should be an explicit decision. From an elevated console:

.\winsight-firewall-service.exe install

.\winsight-firewall-service.exe status

.\winsight-firewall-service.exe wfp-selftest

It starts audit-only. Enforcement is armed only through the dashboard's authenticated flow. Why it works this way →

Uninstall & troubleshooting

  • Uninstall through the normal Windows uninstaller. If you installed the firewall service, remove it first with winsight-firewall-service.exe uninstall from an elevated console.
  • If you enabled ransomware protection, turning it off removes its decoy files.
  • SmartScreen warning on first run is expected until releases are code-signed. See the FAQ entry.
  • Something is wrong right now? See RECOVERY.md in the repository.
  • Security issue? Report privately on GitHub, never in public issues.
