I have been trying to figure out how to block specific Java applications (Minecraft) for a while now without success.
We have students PvP on the network and I have been unable to stop the application from running.
I want to stop people from being able to run a specific JAR file or at least prevent all JARs from running in a specific directory i.e. Group Policy Software Restriction however after doing much research there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.
Group Policy Software Restriction - Doesn't support JAR files as executables
Sophos Antivirus - Doesn't support blocking file types
Has anyone come across this or has any suggestions how to tackle this?
I have recently found 1 article on the whole of the Internet about a Java blacklist file (https://nealpoole.com/blog/2013/01/how-hard-is-it-to-blacklist-a-java-applet/) however I have not been successful after testing it out several times. I thought it worked 1 time however when i came back next morning it was active again on the test machine.
