Send() does not work with ActiveX control?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm very new to AutoIt Scripting. I am trying to write a simple script to automate the username & password injection by using Send() to one of the bank web portal. Due to this portal has "Captcha", my expectation would be just to inject username & password into the field and leave the verification code in manual.

The code is simply like this and I was able to inject TESTUSER into username filed, but failed in password field, no value is filled. I am thinking it might have something to do with the ActiveX control as Activex needs to be installed for this web portal. And, this Activex control is prevent copy/paste from or to password field.

My question is, will Send() works if the field has ActiveX control that blocking keystrokes or copy/paste? Any idea?

 

Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe https://mybank1.icbc.com.cn/icbc/enperbank/index.jsp")

Sleep(8000)
Send("TESTUSER")
Sleep(3000)
Send("{Enter}")
Send ("PASSWORD123")

My guess is that the field needs to be selected before the text will go in the field. Have you tried a mouseclick? Maybe try to send ("{TAB}"). If you can get to the control without the mouse then I cannot think of any reason that autoit wont be able to send data to it.

In fact, hitting enter has a same effect like send ("{TAB}") in this web portal. Both send enter or tab will bring me to next field but without filling the keystrokes (PASSWORD123) as expected.

Ok, I had changed a bit of the script, by send ("{TAB}") instead of send ("{ENTER"}), still hitting the same problem, password field remains unfilled.

 

Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe https://mybank1.icbc.com.cn/icbc/enperbank/index.jsp")

Winwait("ICBC New Generation of Internet Banking - Internet Explorer")
Sleep(5000)
Send("TESTUSER")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{TAB}")
Sleep(1000)
Send ("PASSWORD123")

 

As you can see, username field is auto-filled, TAB is sent to next field, and remains unfilled.

Sorry, your current version of Firefox cannot access ICBC Internet Banking. Download official version of Firefox (version 10.0-21.0 or under) if you wish to use ICBC Internet Banking.

 

What online bank uses a previous version of firefox?

It said the same thing for the latest version of Chrome too. Go figure.

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.

I cant get it to work. I tried to remote in with teamviewer and VNC and when I do the password does not send with my physical keyboard. The activex control must be monitoring the keyboard bus directly. Im out of ideas.

Everyone,

   I work at a bank. Banks go out of their way to keep people from automating logins to portals. It is a security feature to keep maulware writers from stealing funds from people. I would not touch this idea of automating it with anything known to man. This is a bad idea all the way around. I ask everyone for safety sake - please do not automate this. The OP should manually login to the portal. Thank you.

Couldn't agree more. Avoiding security features is a very bad idea.

OTOH it is your money you lose.

Thanks for everyone helping out anyway. I couldn't agree more from security perspective. I would just say there was a reason and justification my client wanted to do that. Well, it seems like no other way to inject a password with this security restriction.
