lyfritz Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 So there is an app that has a automation defense. It does so by varying the pixel shades of an image randomly. Example, when I zoom in on the number 1 within the app I can see that some 1's have extra shades of grey on their side and some don't. I have been using this imagesearch https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/471-image-search-udf/ but I can't make it find the image no matter how I adjust the tolerance. Can you guys help me out?
Nine Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 What is the application you are trying to automate ? Have you read the forum rules about game automation, as it seems this is what you are attempting to do... If not, can you post a screen capture that shows the issue. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Reveal hidden contents Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Debug Messages Monitor UDF Screen Scraping Round Corner GUI UDF Multi-Threading Made Easy Interface Object based on Tag
lyfritz Posted November 22, 2019 Author Posted November 22, 2019 It's just a goods purchasing app. Just cause imagesearch is mentioned doesnt mean it's always about games. This is the example of the 1 I am talking about. https://imgur.com/a/esY0wpp That is a number 11 when zoomed out but when I zoom in, the numbers have random pixels mixed up.

This application, is it web or windows ? In either case, you could use some UDF to read that information. And you didn't answer my question, what is the application you are trying to automate ? Someone might know the application and give rightful solutions. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Reveal hidden contents Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Debug Messages Monitor UDF Screen Scraping Round Corner GUI UDF Multi-Threading Made Easy Interface Object based on Tag
lyfritz Posted November 22, 2019 Author Posted November 22, 2019 It is ran on mobile so I am using bluestacks to emulate an android device. I'm sorry if I can't name the app as I am hoping that I can make money with it(as I'm broke) and I'm also afraid I may ruin it for other users if I named it.
seadoggie01 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 If the app has "automation defense" isn't automating it against the terms and conditions? If not, is this really ethical? 😐 All my code provided is Public Domain... but it may not work. Use it, change it, break it, whatever you want.

Bert Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 First - Does the App have a TOS that prohibits the automation you are attempting to do? We ask for if there is a TOS that prohibits it, we won't be able to help. If you could check that and get back to us on that question, that would be great. Second - when you say it will ruin it for other users - be advised that this puts you on thin ice with ethics. The reason for that is it appears you will harm other users by doing this. I'm requesting a mod to handle this moving forward. seadoggie01 1 The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/

If we only used autoit for anything that allows bots can we really still find much use. Why are we even named autoit if I have to defend myself this much if I just want to make something that can help me get some goods I hope to resale from a flash sale.

Expand I can't ruin it for others as there is a buying limit and it is a pretty established app. What I can see ruining it is posting it on a forum full of people who can automate and saying there's a possibility for profit.
