Windows Server OS Behaviour

If you have a star topology where you installed Windows Server, the camouflage technique gets really handy. I say don't do it but if you did it, granting this app the administrator access can allow you to block applications from one computer to all the computers within the system. Eg: If there are 40 computers connected to a switch including the administrator computer where one OS is shared between all, you can use any computer to run this app as admin and block applications in the entire 40 computers. There won't be any cmd popup or powershell popup; it simply looks like Magic to others. BUT, TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Virus Issue

In my 3 days of coding this application, I got no issues of viruses. But once I downloaded the same application from my github profile, it immediately got removed by my Windows Defender claiming its a Virus. But I assure you that its not. Its a simple executable made from "Pyinstaller" using Python. You can also see the VirusTotal Scan: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e4866a8b8326211baa71958bc2e4e9fc91278eca7a541a109733a11dd3d47fad/behavior

Inside Virustotal, only 5 of the antiviruses detect it as a virus. If you understand python codes, you can also look for the ".py" version of this application where I've uploaded the entire code of this app. Ultimately, it depends upon you whether to download it or not. Thank You.
