Handle UnauthorizedAccessException related to running VA As Administrator

[ACyprus]

When running VA "As Administrator", RatAttack-cli.exe will return the following error when attempting to pipe through a RATSIGNAL:

Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream.Connect(Int32 timeout) at RatAttack.RatAttack_cli.Main(String[] args)

Here is the associated setting in VA:

Possible solutions:

• Handle the exception in the cli tool. Will most likely not even be seen by the user since it’s the IRC client running it.
• Check if VA is running elevated, print a warning to the log. Doesn’t solve anything, but people shouldn’t run VA elevated.
• Make the named pipe globally accessible. Not great, but solves this issue:

  PipeSecurity pSecure = new PipeSecurity();
  pSecure.SetAccessRule(new PipeAccessRule("Everyone", PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite,
  System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Allow));
  

• Tell people to run their IRC client / the cli tool as admin. No. Just no.
