00:00Welcome back to another professional security session with Games Gone.
00:04Today we're not just looking at performance metrics.
00:06We're diving deep into the very heart of your system.
00:09As a cybersecurity specialist, I'm going to guide you through a complete hardware audit on your CPU
00:15to ensure no one is exploiting your precious resources.
00:19The CPU is a primary target for modern malware,
00:22from hidden crypto miners to advanced persistent threats that can live inside your machine for months.
00:27A compromised processor means a compromised system, so let's get started.
00:32To begin this professional-grade audit, we need to access the core of the operating system.
00:37Go ahead and open your PowerShell with administrator privileges.
00:40This isn't optional.
00:42It's absolutely crucial for gaining the deep system access we need to uncover what is really going on.
00:48Think of it as getting the master key to your own digital fortress.
00:51Our first mission is to identify what's truly happening in the background.
00:55Many viruses cleverly disguise themselves under common system names,
00:59like Sitchost or Runtime Broker, to steal your processing power without you even noticing.
01:05We'll be going to use a professional filter to immediately see the top 10 processes demanding the most from your
01:10CPU.
01:11In your Admin PowerShell window, type the following command exactly as you see it.
01:16Get process, then a pipe symbol, followed by sort object CPU descending.
01:20Another pipe, and finally select object, first, 10, press enter.
01:26This command cuts through the noise and reveals the true hierarchy of your system's energy consumption.
01:32Look closely at this list.
01:34If you see a process you don't recognize hogging a high percentage of your CPU,
01:38you might be facing a security breach.
01:40It's the first red flag we look for.
01:43Moving forward in our security protocol, let's talk about hardware vulnerabilities.
01:46This is where things get serious.
01:50Modern processors from all major manufacturers have faced critical design flaws,
01:54and you've probably heard of names like Spectre or Meltdown.
01:58These aren't just theoretical.
01:59They are real-world attack vectors.
02:02As a professional, you must verify if your system is protected at the kernel level.
02:07For this, we use a specific audit command.
02:10Type, GetSpeculationContrance.
02:12This powerful tool reports the status of your hardware-level security patches and mitigations.
02:18If you see true across the board, you're in good shape.
02:22If not, it's time to check for system and firmware updates immediately.
02:26A secure CPU is the foundation of a secure digital life.
02:30Finally, we must monitor the external perimeter.
02:33Why is your CPU working so hard?
02:36Sometimes the answer isn't what's running, but what it's talking to.
02:39It could be communicating with unauthorized external servers, sending your data to places it shouldn't be.
02:45We will audit every active connection to detect any suspicious data exfiltration.
02:50Use the command, Netstat Anno, then a pipe, followed by Finester Established.
02:55This command is your network watchdog.
02:57It will show you a live feed of exactly which applications are talking to the outside world right now,
03:02along with the IP addresses they're connected to.
03:05If you see a connection from an unfamiliar program or to a strange IP address, it's a major warning sign.
03:11Your security could be compromised, and it's time for a deeper investigation.
03:15By following these professional steps, you have successfully performed a high-level CPU security audit.
03:21Your system is now under the rigorous watch of Gamescom standards.
03:24But remember, cybersecurity is a constant process, not a one-time task.
03:30It's a discipline.
03:31Always monitor your hardware, always verify your processes, and always stay one step ahead of the threats.
03:38Your vigilance is your best defense.
03:40Thank you for trusting Gamescom with your digital security.
