Installing:

If you're running on python version 3.4 or higher then you don't have to install anything. If you're running Python 2.* or earlier versions of Python 3.4, please use the pip command below.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Building:

This build works on both Python 2 and Python 3 and puts the .exe file into the dist directory. Install pyinstaller using pip command:

pip install pyinstaller

And run the following command:

pyinstaller --onefile main.py

Scanning:

Compares build number against 'Fixed In' build numbers and displays the results.

main.py --scan uac
main.py --scan persist
main.py --scan elevate

Example results when scanning for possible UAC methods
