Before running Akira

Step-by-step setup to download, hide, and run Akira Memory past Windows security.

This guide prepares your system so Akira downloads and runs correctly. Work through the steps in order before launching Akira for the first time.

Prefer the automatic route? We provide a batch file that automates the bypass: download it here. Run it as Administrator first, then open one of our programs. The manual steps below do the same thing by hand.

These steps disable Windows security protections. Real-time protection, Tamper Protection, and SmartScreen all guard your system. Only turn them off if you understand the risk, and only download Akira from our official website, akiraghost.com.

1

Disable Windows Defender & SmartScreen

  1. Open the Start menu and search for Virus & threat protection. Click Manage settings under it.

  2. Uncheck Tamper Protection and Real-time protection.

  3. Open your browser in incognito mode and go to https://www.sordum.org/files/download/def-con/DefCon.zip. Extract the files, open the .exe, and click Disable Windows Defender.

  4. Search the Start menu for Windows Security. On the left, click App & Browser control, then Reputation-based protection.

  5. Turn off Check apps and files, SmartScreen for Edge, and SmartScreen for Microsoft Store Apps.

Download the client

  1. Download the client from our website and save it under a legitimate-looking name like Spotify.exe or Chrome.exe.

  2. Create a subfolder inside that legitimate program's folder. For Chrome, use C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\SetupMetrics instead of just C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application.

  3. Be creative — avoid obvious application names like the examples above.

  4. Save the client in one of those subfolders.

  1. Open CMD as Administrator and run cd followed by your [FILE DIRECTORY] — for example, cd C:\Users\child\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users, using your own client's directory.

  2. Run attrib +h on your client file. For Spotify.exe this is attrib +h Spotify.exe.

  3. In your browser, open https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.1023.x86-Setup.exe and install Search Everything.

  4. Press Ctrl + P to open Exclude and make sure Enable Exclude List is on.

  7. Under Windows, tick RegEdit.

Run your client

  1. Open CMD as Administrator.

  2. Run start followed by your [FILE DIRECTORY] and [Cheat name]. For a directory of C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users and a cheat named Spotify.exe, this is start C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users\Spotify.exe.

  3. Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bam\State\UserSettings. Open the subfolders until you find the one with many .exe entries.
