INetGet Alernative?

Hey all,

Recently I've been working on minimizing false positives in my latest project. The biggest change so far that helped was removing INetGet which helps the compiled script consistently stay around 3 false positives instead of occasionally jumping up to 6-7. Are there any recommend alternatives for INetGet or is just downloading an executable update from the internet that sketchy for AVs?

Here was the code excerpt in question that I've since commented out:

Case "/u", "/update"
                    Select
                        Case UBound($CmdLine) = 2
                            InetGet("https://fcofix.org/MSEdgeRedirect/releases/latest/download/MSEdgeRedirect.exe", @ScriptDir & "\MSEdgeRedirect_Latest.exe")
                            _ArrayDelete($CmdLine, 1)
                        Case UBound($CmdLine) > 2 And $CmdLine[2] = "dev"
                            InetGet("https://nightly.link/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/workflows/mser/main/mser.zip", @ScriptDir & "\MSEdgeRedirect_dev.zip")
                            _ArrayDelete($CmdLine, "1-2")
                        Case UBound($CmdLine) > 2 And $CmdLine[2] = "release"
                            InetGet("https://fcofix.org/MSEdgeRedirect/releases/latest/download/MSEdgeRedirect.exe", @ScriptDir & "\MSEdgeRedirect_Latest.exe")
                            _ArrayDelete($CmdLine, "1-2")
                        Case StringLeft($CmdLine[2], 1) = "/"
                            InetGet("https://fcofix.org/MSEdgeRedirect/releases/latest/download/MSEdgeRedirect.exe", @ScriptDir & "\MSEdgeRedirect_Latest.exe")
                            _ArrayDelete($CmdLine, 1)
                        Case Else
                            MsgBox(0, _
                                "Invalid", _
                                'Invalid release type - "' & $CmdLine[2] & "." & @CRLF)
                            Exit 87 ; ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
                    EndSelect

 

Thanks in advance!

My UDFs are generally for me. If they aren't updated for a while, it means I'm not using them myself. As soon as I start using them again, they'll get updated.

You should check out The WinHTTP functions: 

https://github.com/dragana-r/autoit-winhttp/releases

 

Alternatively, you can also try out using the WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1 object: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winhttp/winhttprequest The WinHTTP UDF linked above is basically using this, though through DLLs directly instead of through the object

Something like this though for the object:

; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winhttp/winhttprequest
Local $sURL = "http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/5MB.zip"

Local $oHTTP = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

$oHTTP.Open("GET", $sURL, False)
If (@error) Then
    ConsoleWrite('$oHTTP.Open error: ' & @error & @CRLF)
EndIf

$oHTTP.Send()
If (@error) Then
    ConsoleWrite('$oHTTP.Send error: ' & @error & @CRLF)
EndIf

If ($oHTTP.Status <> 200) Then
    ConsoleWrite('$oHTTP.Status <> 200: ' & $oHTTP.Status & @CRLF)
EndIf

ConsoleWrite('$oHTTP.ResponseBody ('&stringlen($oHTTP.ResponseBody)&'): ' & StringLeft($oHTTP.ResponseBody, 1000) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('$oHTTP.ResponseText ('&stringlen($oHTTP.ResponseText)&'): ' & StringLeft($oHTTP.ResponseText, 1000) & @CRLF)

FileWrite('test.zip', $oHTTP.ResponseBody)

This should save a 5MB .zip file in your script directory. The .zip file is not meant to be opened: "These files are made of random data, and although listed as zip files, will appear to be corrupt if you try and open them"

 

 

 

We ought not to misbehave, but we should look as though we could.
