Check to See If Your Protected Against Specter/Meltdown - [BLANK] - Jan 11, 2018

Just wanted to share with the community that there is a good Powershell module that you can run to verify if you are protected against Specter and Meltdown.

Source: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help...-execution

Code
PS C:>Import-SpeculationControlSettings

After importing the module then run it with:


Code
PS C:>Get-SpeculationControlSettings


If you run into a security issue where Powershell won't run execution scripts then simply use:


Code
PS C:>Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned


Then run the above code again.


Hope that helps everyone.
