Password check?


Recommended Posts

Im reletivley new to auto it and dont really understand most functions. But i know enough to make programs that are good enough for my use. I dont use Gui or anything yet and am still learning. I need some help with something though..

Is it possible to make a popup at the beggining of a specific program to ask for a password then if the password is right, run the rest of the script. But heres the tricky part.. I want the password to be whatever a specific web page says. So.. if I had a webpage that said cornonthecob on it, the password for the program would be cornonthecob. And the password would be changed whenever I change the text on the web page.

I dont have any code right now and I mostly learn off looking at other peoples code or examples. So feel free to post... Also if you wouldnt mind NOT using GUI as i dont really understand it yet, it would help me more as I would understand it better.

Thanks For all the reply to this post.

While 1
    $pass = InputBox ( "Password Needed", "Please Enter you password" , "" , "*")
    If @error = 1 Then Exit; exit if cancle is pressed
    If $pass = "Password" Then
        msgbox(0, "", "Correct!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        msgbox(0, "", "WRONG!!!! Re-Enter")
    EndIf
WEnd

maybe you could use WinGetTitle to do the password from a webpage thing....thats a long password though

Untested

While 1
    $pass = InputBox ( "Password Needed", "Please Enter you password" , "" , "")
    If @error = 1 Then Exit; exit if cancle is pressed
    $title = WinGetTitle("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")
    If $pass = $title Then
        msgbox(0, "", "Correct!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        msgbox(0, "", "WRONG!!!! Re-Enter")
    EndIf
WEnd

I need it to read the CONTENT on the webpage without it having to open the webpage..

I want this so that I can remotley change the password of the program whenever I want without having to edit any code or anything. Just change the web page.

something like this?

InetGet("http://whatever.com/whatever.txt",@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")
$correct = FileReadLine(@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")
If InputBox("Validation","Enter password","NotIT","¿") <> $correct Then Exit

i think it works but when i try to add an else clause it says theres no if statement..

InetGet("http://whatever.com/whatever.txt",@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")

$correct = FileReadLine(@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")

If InputBox("Validation","Enter password","NotIT","*") <> $correct Then Exit

Else <--- THERE!

Else <--- THERE!

the reason why is because my "IF" isn't a block if, it's all on one line, eliminating the need for an else or an end if. as it is right now it just exits if the password is wrong. not sure why you'd need an else, except maybe to give them more chances... if that's what you want to do, i'd say to do it as such:

InetGet("http://whatever.com/whatever.txt",@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")
$correct = FileReadLine(@TempDir & "\whatever.txt")
Do
$attempt = InputBox("Validation","Enter password","NotIT","¿")
Until $attempt = $correct

Ok nvm.. Im dumb I thought I needed an else to execute the code.. But I see now..

One more thing. The InetGet("http://whatever.com/whatever.txt",@TempDir & "\whatever.txt"). Does that download the file or read directly off the web page?

Also does this go into your history in Internet Explorer?

it actually just downoads the file to the location specified, in my example that's @temp\whatever.txt it would just take a FileDelete() to get rid of the file once it's served it's purpose, as far as whether or not it goes into history, i don't believe so, but it would just take you a second to check and be sure. let us know what you find.

You might also try something like this if you use the IE.au3 include file.

#include <IE.au3>

AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

$o_IE = _IECreate(0); creates hidden browser window

_IENavigate($o_IE, "http:\\www.somewhere.com\passwordpage.html") ; navigates to your password page

$correct = WinGetText("name of browser window") ; reads text on your password page

I tested this and it worked after I put a couple Sleep commands in to make sure the pages were completely loaded. Not elegant, but Sleeps are good enough for me when I'm testing.

#include <IE.au3>

AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

$o_IE = _IECreate(0); creates hidden browser window

Sleep(1500)

_IENavigate($o_IE, "http:\\www.somewhere.com\passwordpage.html") ; navigates to your password page

Sleep(1500)

$correct = WinGetText("name of browser window") ; reads text on your password page

_IEQuit($o_IE)

You need to have the AutoItSetOption command so that the WinGetText command will be able to read text from the hidden window. The user never sees a browser window open and the page isn't saved to your computer. It might show up in history or the cache files. If so, and you are concerned about it, add to the script to find and delete those files once the page is finished.
