adam Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I play a game and have tons of accounts each one has a different 100+ bit password. Ive made a script that detects what the login is and then selects the password field and chooses the correct password. I've made it do this by copying the password to the clipboard and then pasting it and i'm less than pleased with the security of this setup. Is it safer to have the password be typed in by autoit, typing it in through some simulated keyboard or is there a way to obsfucate the whole process? If not are there any ideas on how I can increase protection from potential keyloggers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundance Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @water: I think he want's to stay with his script but he isn't pleased with the security of typing the password through the clipboard.!? @adam: When there would be a keylogger on your pc then there is no secure way of 'typing' your password to the input field. A virtual keyboard is a good solution but it must be implemented directly into the application. So the app knows how to convert the mouse position into a letter. But when you have a virtual keyboard in your script then your script knows the letter you pressed but how do you put this letter into the inputfield? would be interesting to see a solution for such a common problem Sundance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The solution is to not be stupid enough to get a keylogger on your computer in the first place. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Juvigy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Use hashing and encryption functions. There are several UDF's available here. Not very secure but at least it is something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
