.BAT Windows Firewall Blocking All .EXE In a Folder and All Subfolders

[CarboN]

So Say if I wanted to Block all .exe in Battle.net folder This bacth file would work:

for %%G in ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net*.exe") do (
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=in action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=out action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any
)


But say i would like to block in battle.net folder and all folders inside of battle.net folder how would I do this?


C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net**.exe
for %%G in ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net**.exe") do (
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=in action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=out action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any
)

Try this:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
SetLocal
Set "Fldr=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Battle.net"
If Not Exist "%Fldr%\" Exit/B
If /I "%CD%" NEq "%Fldr%" PushD %Fldr%
Set "Cmnd=netsh advfirewall firewall add rule action=block"
For /R %%a In (*.exe) Do (For %%b In (in out) Do (
      %Cmnd% name="blocked %%a via script" dir=%%b program="%%a"))

Code: Select all

If /I "%CD%" NEq "%Fldr%" PushD %Fldr%

Enclose the %Fldr% into quotation marks at the end of the line.

In order to be able to find out where the error occurred switch ECHO ON

Two of my Internet cardinal sins.
1) Posting full desktop screenshots when Windows has the capability to capture a window.
2) Not copying from the console window and just pasting that info as text in the forums. Makes it a lot easier for everyone to see now and in the future for posterity.

Seems you have non-breaking spaces in your code that appear as 'á' in the console code pages 437 or 850. I recomment to write the code new from scratch or you edit it in a HEX Editor where you should see it as A0.

Hello! Thank you for your reply! I tried doing this however I just got something different:
' ' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is a one off, I have uploaded the script, (inside a .rar archive), to an online server for download. It will only be there for maximum 48 hours.

You can get it here

If this functions untouched then we know it was your script corrupted.
