Is it possible to read firewall rules in Windows from Python?

Question

I am making an auditing type tool and I want to pull the firewall rules of the computer. I am using Python and I can only find sources on how to add rules to the firewall, but not read them. Is this possible?

Answer 1

i'm not using python that's why i can't help you with coding, but as everything in windows, firewall rules are storing in registry too, firewall rules are storing under;

HKLM\System\CurrentlControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules.

I believe if you can read windows registry with python,then you can read the rules.
