Python - Code for Firewall Action

In Dos-Box (CMD) a firewall rule can be set like this (with Administrator Privileges) netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="RULENAME" dir=out action=block protocol=TCP localip=any remoteip=any netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="RULENAME" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localip=any remoteip=[login to view URL] password = "xxxxxxx" def block_internet(): print("Call block internet") # Block all outgoing traffic block_cmd = '\"netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"RULENAME\" dir=out action=block protocol=TCP localip=any remoteip=any\"' [login to view URL](['runas', '/user:surface-sl-05\Administrator', 'cmd', '/c', 'echo', password, '|', 'powershell', '-Command', block_cmd], stdin=[login to view URL], stdout=[login to view URL]) print("Blocking all outgoing traffic...") I try the same with Python but I am failing as this code is not running. For testing purposes I have saving the password in clear into the programm. I just need the syntax for the subprocess The code so far: import os import subprocess import hashlib import ctypes # Funktion zum Verschlüsseln des Passworts mit MD5 def encrypt_password(password): md5_object = [login to view URL]() [login to view URL]([login to view URL]()) return [login to view URL]() # Passwort im Klartext speichern password = "Flbs28100923!" def block_internet(): print("Call block internet") # Block all outgoing traffic block_cmd = '\"netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"RULENAME\" dir=out action=block protocol=TCP localip=any remoteip=any\"' [login to view URL](['runas', '/user:surface-sl-05\Administrator', 'cmd', '/c', 'echo', password, '|', 'powershell', '-Command', block_cmd], stdin=[login to view URL], stdout=[login to view URL]) print("Blocking all outgoing traffic...") # Allow outgoing traffic to [login to view URL] allow_cmd = 'netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"Allow\" dir=out action=allow protocol=any remoteip=[login to view URL] localport=any' [login to view URL](['runas', '/user:surface-sl-05\Administrator', 'cmd', '/c', 'echo', password, '|', 'powershell', '-Command', allow_cmd], stdin=[login to view URL], stdout=[login to view URL]) print("Allowing outgoing traffic to exam.edu.gafa.ac.at...") # Change desktop background image image_path = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gafa Exam\\Images\\[login to view URL]' [login to view URL](['runas', '/user:surface-sl-05\Administrator', 'cmd', '/c', 'echo', password, '|', 'powershell', '-Command', 'REG', 'ADD', 'HKCU\\Control Panel\\Desktop', '/v', 'Wallpaper', '/t', 'REG_SZ', '/d', image_path, '/f'], stdin=[login to view URL], stdout=[login to view URL]) [login to view URL](['runas', '/user:surface-sl-05\Administrator', 'cmd', '/c', 'echo', password, '|', 'powershell', '-Command', '[login to view URL]', '[login to view URL],UpdatePerUserSystemParameters'], stdin=[login to view URL], stdout=[login to view URL]) print("Changing desktop background image...") # Ping test response = [login to view URL]("ping [login to view URL]") if response == 0: # Ping successful, display error message [login to view URL](None, "Fehler: Ping erfolgreich, Internetverbindung nicht blockiert.", "Fehler", 0x40 | 0x1) else: # Ping unsuccessful, display success message [login to view URL](None, "Internetverbindung blockiert, nur Verbindung zu [login to view URL] ist erlaubt.
