How to Read and Add Rules in Windows Firewall with Python

Question

I'm creating a service that needs to constantly monitor the Firewall to prevent unsuspecting users from removing the doors of a service. My intention is to do this using python.

So, I searched for it and did not think.

can I read and add rules to Windows Firewall using python?

Answer 1

Open Python IDLE as an administrator or CMD as administrator and load python. Aim is so that while running the program you should have administrator privilege.

def blockrule():
 import os
 c=input('Enter Directory in the format "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\"(without ""): \n')
 d=input('Enter prefix: ')
 e=input('Enter \n"1" for inbound \n"2" for outbound \n"3" for both \nWithout ""\n')
 a=[];b=[]
 for root, dirs, files in os.walk(c):
  for name in files:
   a=a+[[(os.path.join(root,name))]]
 for i in range(len(a)):
  if a[i][0][-3:]=='exe':
   b=b+a[i]
 print('Number of files: '+str(len(a))+'\nNumber of .exe files: '+str(len(b)))
 for i in range (len(b)):
  name=d+str(i)
  if e=='1':
   os.popen('netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="'+name+'" dir=in action=block program= "'+ b[i]+'" enable=yes profile=any')
  if e=='2':
   os.popen('netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="'+name+'" dir=out action=block program= "'+ b[i]+'" enable=yes profile=any')
  if e=='3':
   os.popen('netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="'+name+'" dir=in action=block program= "'+ b[i]+'" enable=yes profile=any')
   os.popen('netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="'+name+'" dir=out action=block program= "'+ b[i]+'" enable=yes profile=any')
