🛡️ EXE Signer Tool V2

A Next-Gen, High-Performance GUI Application for Digitally Signing Windows Executable Files & Establishing Zero-Warning Code Trust.

• ⚡ Ultra Fast & Lightweight: Powered by Tauri v2 and Rust for minimal memory footprint and instant startup.
• 🔑 RSA-4096 Certificate Generator: Generate custom self-signed code-signing certificates (.pfx) with configurable Organization, Country, Locality, and Expiry up to 100 years.
• 🛡️ One-Click EXE Signing: Seamlessly signs Windows Executables (.exe) with SHA256 signatures and RFC 3161 timestamping using Windows SignTool.
• 🤖 Multi-Language Trust Bootstrap Snippets: Automatically generates zero-config trust injection code snippets for 8 programming languages (C++, C#, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Batch, PowerShell) so end-users never see Windows SmartScreen / "Unknown Publisher" warnings.
• 🎯 Auto SDK Detection: Automatically scans and detects installed Windows Kits SDK signtool.exe paths across Windows 10/11 installations.
• 🖥️ Cockpit Dark UI: Modern dark theme with real-time status telemetry output, path tooltips, and custom window management.

Before building or running the project locally, ensure you have:

1. Windows 10 / 11
2. Node.js (v18 or higher) & npm
3. Rust Toolchain: Install via rustup.rs (MSVC toolchain required for Windows)
4. Windows 10/11 SDK: For signtool.exe (included in Visual Studio C++ Build Tools or standalone Windows SDK)

git clone https://github.com/MZarc/exe-signer-tool.git
cd exe-signer-tool

npm install

Launch the application with live reload:

npm run tauri dev

To compile a standalone production release .exe:

npm run tauri build

The compiled binary will be located in src-tauri/target/release/.

• Self-Signed vs Commercial Certificates: Self-signed certificates are ideal for internal distribution, personal tools, and testing. To eliminate warnings on un-configured third-party client machines without trust bootstrap, purchase an EV/OV certificate from an accredited CA (Sectigo, DigiCert, GlobalSign).
• Secret Hygiene: Never commit private key .pfx certificate files or passwords to public repositories. .pfx files are automatically ignored by this repository's .gitignore.
