Devlog #6 (v0.5.0)

[Project Summary]
TungstenScore is a Windows security assessment tool built with Rust. It evaluates your Windows system’s security posture and generates an overall security score.

[Project Plan]

1. Add security checks
   a. Firewall (Done)
   b. UAC (Done)
   c. TPM 2.0 (Added Today!)
   d. System integrity
   e. Hidden accounts
   f. Disk encryption
   g. etc.
2. Add an auto-fix feature
3. Add a GUI
4. And more…

[What I Did]
I decided to remove the Windows version check from the roadmap because I couldn’t find a reliable way to retrieve the latest update info locally. I also don’t want the app to connect to the internet, as users might prefer an offline tool and maintaining a dedicated version API server would add extra overhead.

Today, I added the TPM 2.0 check. It took a while to implement because this check requires admin privileges. I had to investigate what was causing the permission errors and figure out how to handle them gracefully. As a solution, I added an option to relaunch the app as administrator:

• If you type “Y”, the program will restart with admin privileges.
• If you type “N”, the check will be marked as “Requires administrator privileges” and excluded from the scan score (as shown in the attached screenshot).

[Next Version Plan]
I’ll be adding a check for hidden accounts.
