“Attack Surface Analyzer is developed by the Microsoft Security Engineering Center (MSEC). It takes a snapshot of your system state before and after the installation of product(s) and displays the changes to a number of key elements of the Windows attack surface. The purpose of this tool is to help software developers, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and IT Professionals better understand changes in Windows systems’ attack surface resulting from the installation of new applications.”

This release includes performance enhancements and bug fixes to improve the user experience. Through improvements in the code, the number of false positives were reduced and GUI performance was increased! This release also includes in-depth documentation and guidance to improve ease of use.

Known Issues:

  • When scanning a system with >=100 GB of files, Attack Surface Analyzer will collect the data from the system. It will crash with “System.OutOfMemoryException” thrown. A workaround is to install Attack Surface Analyzer on a freshly built system to minimize the size of the data collected and analyzed.
  • In the Attack Surfaces tab of the Report.html file, if you collapse a section you cannot navigate to any of the subsection from the Table of Contents links. A workaround for this is to not collapse the sections in the report.html file.
