Auditing Windows security from a Python script, no pip install needed

This article describes a Python script called WinRecon that performs a Windows security audit without requiring any external dependencies. The script uses the standard library and built-in Windows tools to gather information and generate a readable report. The report includes 20 checks covering various security aspects, including firewall state, password policy, antivirus status, and suspicious scheduled tasks. The output is a self-contained HTML report and a JSON file for further analysis. The script is designed to run on locked-down workstations without requiring any additional installations.
