Requirements

• Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 and newer*
• Admin privileges for access to system info
• That's all!

*Required by PyQT6 library and limited to avoid errors when using system calls from older versions of Windows

How to install

1. Download latest build
2. Get Vulners.com API key, see help page
3. Add to antivirus exclusion if you get messages about Bender.exe

This happens because pyinstaller unzips files and the python interpreter in the temp folder, so antiviruses don't like such programs

4. Run as Admin
5. Done!

Features
