get info from cmd

[legend]

Hi . by this script I get the information from cmd -> systeminfo:

$SysInfo_Read = _RunStdOutRead("SystemInfo")
ConsoleWrite($SysInfo_Read)
Func _RunStdOutRead($sRunCmd)
    Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $sRunCmd, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, 4 + 2)
    Local $sStdOutRead = ""
    While ProcessExists($iPID)
        $sStdOutRead &= StdoutRead($iPID)
    WEnd
FileWrite("test.txt", $sStdOutRead)
    Return $sStdOutRead
EndFunc

as it is right now, i create a test.txt, is it possible to somehow search in the variable : $sStdOutRead ?

because then I want to search for the word: "Standalone Workstation" instead of having it write all the data to a txt file

Hi,

StringInStr ?

Br, FireFox.

Hi FireFox thank you.

This is how I did it, does it look right, or totally wrong ?

$SysInfo_Read = _RunStdOutRead("SystemInfo")

ConsoleWrite($SysInfo_Read)

Func _RunStdOutRead($sRunCmd)
Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $sRunCmd, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, 4 + 2)
Local $sStdOutRead = ""

While ProcessExists($iPID)
$sStdOutRead &= StdoutRead($iPID)
WEnd
FileWrite("test.txt", $sStdOutRead)

$location = StringInStr($sStdOutRead, "virtualbox", 0, 1) ; Find the 3rd occurance of "wood"
if $location = 0 then
;do nothing
Else
MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Virtual machine is detected")
EndIf

Return $sStdOutRead
EndFunc

Looks good so far.

I could also use if process exists ("blahblah") then exit. but that would be less secure.

The script calls cmd.exe, if you block access to the script, using example comodo, then you can bypass the security, I guess I could combine if process exists, and searching in systeminfo.

any suggestions?

I don't get it. What do you mean with "block access to the script" or "bypass security"?

[legend]

A friend of mine, coded this program in autoit: http://uppit.com/sl9am350v1rn/J_Y-Blocker.exe

It will block any exe file and any file that the exe file calls, example cmd, or conhost.

So it will ask if you want to run a exe file, and if that file calls cmd, it asks if you want to allow cmd.

By using that tool, you can bypass the the checking of my script, even when using "if @error"

It couldn't bypass "if proccessexists" because it doesn't call anything, but under normal circumstances, that would be less secure.

I think this are two completely separate things (but I might be wrong).

The tool of your friend asks if you want to run a program. You as a user can then allow or deny it.

The checking of @error and processexists is simply to make sure that the called program ran successfully and to catch the output of the called program as long as the process exists.

that's right but the tool bypasses the checking
