What

The spydi blended baselines - ASD + Microsoft Client + Microsoft Server + Yamato as one opinionated recommendation on two axes:

Preset Coverage (284 native ceiling)
spydi_Workstation_Minimal 263/472 = 93%
spydi_Workstation_Heavy 269/472 = 95%
spydi_Server_Minimal (servers + DCs + WEF collectors, DC items runtime-gated) 273/472 = 96%
spydi_Server_Heavy 279/472 = 98% - full native reach

Minimal = the unanimous set + 4688/cmdline + 4104 + IPsec Driver. Heavy = + WFP connections + Sensitive Privilege Use + module logging (ASD's authority; the kit's heaviest setting - pilot first).

Docs: new spydi section with a minimal mermaid decision diagram (what each step adds, by event ID), a per-group sources-and-events table (A/C/S/Y refs), and plainly-stated limits (non-expressible ASD subcategories; sizes fixed at kit values with ASD's 2 GB noted; ASD 2024 ELTD/NIST/CIS/DISA positioning).

Verification

  • All ten presets drift-checked against the generator on Windows PowerShell 5.1; selector-validation guard active
  • Coverage measured per preset with Export-AttackCoverage
  • mkdocs --strict and PSScriptAnalyzer clean

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added four blended spydi baseline presets: Minimal and Heavy variants for Workstations and Servers.
    • Minimal presets combine core auditing with high-signal additions; Heavy presets add expanded network, privilege, and PowerShell logging.
    • Server presets include domain-controller coverage.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded guidance with ATT&CK coverage, volume considerations, explicit event IDs, GPO behavior, regeneration, and verification details.
    • Updated the homepage with quick-start guidance, deployment capabilities, rollback, and coverage metrics.
  • Tests

    • Extended preset validation to cover all ten preset CSVs.

Blend of ASD + Microsoft Client + Microsoft Server + Yamato as four
selection CSVs:
- spydi_Workstation_Minimal / _Heavy (Windows 10/11)
- spydi_Server_Minimal / _Heavy (servers, DCs and WEF collectors in one
  preset; DC-scope items runtime-gated)

Minimal = the unanimous high-signal set: Core + process creation with
command line + script block logging + IPsec Driver. Heavy = Minimal +
WFP connections + Sensitive Privilege Use + ASD's module logging.
Coverage: Workstation 263/269, Server 273/279 of 472 mapped techniques
(284 native ceiling; Server Heavy reaches the full native reach).

Docs: spydi section with a Minimal-vs-Heavy mermaid decision diagram,
per-group source (A/C/S/Y) and key-event table, plainly-stated notes
(module logging only in Heavy on ASD's authority; sizes are settings-table
values so ASD's 2 GB Security suggestion is a documented option; the five
non-expressible ASD subcategories; ASD 2024 ELTD / NIST / CIS / DISA STIG
positioning). CI drift check covers all ten presets.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Added four blended spydi presets for workstation and server roles with minimal and heavy volume profiles. Updated preset validation, baseline documentation, README selections, the documentation site, Markdown configuration, and the unreleased changelog.

Changes

spydi blended baselines

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and validate spydi presets
tools/New-PresetBaselines.ps1, tests/Invoke-KitChecks.ps1
Added four role and volume presets. Server presets include domain-controller scope. Heavy presets add WFP connections, Sensitive Privilege Use, and module logging. Preset checks now validate all ten CSVs.
Document preset selection and coverage
docs/baselines.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Documented preset coverage, source mappings, selection semantics, volume considerations, event IDs, GPO behavior, regeneration details, and CI drift checks.
Update site presentation and Markdown support
docs/index.md, mkdocs.yml
Updated the homepage content, privacy and credit wording, testing guidance, and target-platform details. Enabled attr_list and md_in_html.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 715ab

The PR adds blended baseline presets and documentation, but the current documentation overstates role-specific coverage, resistance to deployment drift, and how quickly Windows logs may overwrite evidence. The changes appear mergeable with owner awareness and a follow-up to qualify these claims.

Driver belongs to the unanimous reference set. Apply this documentation-only

Filter domain-controller rows from GPO packs.

spydi_Server_Minimal.csv and spydi_Server_Heavy.csv select six DC-only audit rows. New-GpoPack.ps1 checks only selection state and writes all six rows to audit.csv; unlike Enable, Test, and Intune, it has no domain-controller filter. Applying either pack to member servers or WEF collectors can therefore include DC-only audit settings. Add role targeting or document the generated GPO pack as DC-only. WEF is channel-only and is not affected.

- Precise IPsec Driver event IDs (4960-4963, 4965, 5478-5485) with the
  Microsoft reference (link verified 200)
- Minimal provenance wording corrected: unanimous core + high-signal
  additions, with each addition's actual references named (IPsec is
  Microsoft-only, script block is ASD+Yamato)
- Documented that Server-preset GPO packs carry DC-only subcategories
  (inert on non-DCs; per-OU copies for strict scoping), while
  Enable/Test/Intune runtime-gate and WEF is channel-only

Hero tagline with the stake above the fold, verb-first CTA row, four
outcome-led 'Why' cards, and the test-before-you-trust warning in
what+why+action structure. Enables attr_list and md_in_html - without
attr_list the existing { .md-button } markup rendered as literal text,
so the previous landing buttons were broken; verified fixed in the built
HTML along with the card grid.

Qualify the default retention claim.

Windows logs do not always overwrite evidence within hours. The result depends on channel size, event volume, and retention policy. Microsoft documents that nonzero retention prevents overwrite and discards new events when the log is full; Yamato documents the risk from small default sizes, not a universal time period. (learn.microsoft.com)

Change this to “can overwrite evidence quickly” and link the source or state the workload assumptions.

As per path instructions, claims about Windows behaviour must be traceable to Microsoft or Yamato Security documentation.

Scope the 98% metric to the server preset.

Do not promise zero deployment drift.

README.md, Lines 145-150, states that domain GPO can override local audit policy. docs/baselines.md, Lines 152-157, also documents special GPO behavior for server presets. A shared settings table keeps generated artifacts aligned, but it cannot prevent effective-state drift after deployment. Replace “deployed config can't drift” with wording about generated artifacts and verification. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
