Hi,
My latest project is a little bug script that does some harmless things like copy some random text files to desktop. This project is for educational purposes.
And will be written and installed to a windows 10 system.
Being an amateur 'developer' I have some questions of the deployment of this script.
I assume I will use pyinstaller to compile to .exe.
Let's say the user will install this program and execute it. I am unfamiliar with how app signing works and so forth. After the user clicks the .exe, I assume windows will ask for permission to run an unknown program? When the user clicks yes, and allows permission to execute, are there any other measures of protection in a typical windows environment that could prevent the execution of such script? Anti-virus would not detect such script, I assume.
What might be missing from my assumptions that would prevent a python script compiled via pyinstaller to execute for security reasons?
Thank you
