Sleep() Micro Secs

[derrick]

Hello all,

I created a simple test loop to sleep for certain amt of time and submit to a particular php website(to cast votes for myself ). My question is that if I do tat, and that the website is able to get the timing as precise to microsecs(php can get microsecs timing?), they would know it would be a non human since the microsecs part would always be the same interval? how do i randomise around this such that it would behave like a human has submit the entry?

thanks for your help guys.

You could use a random number to sleep instead of using the same number during each loop. You might want to take a look at the Random() function in the help file.

; Sleep anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds
$Amount = Random(1000, 5000, 1)
Sleep($Amount)

hi Emperor,

indeed i could use a random function. but the microsecs would still be the same? Help anyone??

HI,

no they won't thats what the Random func is for.

HI,

or have a look at:

While 1
    ToolTip(@Hour & ':' & @Min & ':' & @Sec & ':' & _MSec())
    Sleep(1)
WEnd

Exit

Func _MSec()
    Local $stSystemTime = DllStructCreate('ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort')
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'none', 'GetSystemTime', 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($stSystemTime))

    $sMilliSeconds = StringFormat('%03d', DllStructGetData($stSystemTime, 8))
    
    $stSystemTime = 0
    
    Return $sMilliSeconds
EndFunc

Hi Mega,

maybe i need some explanation You mean that tat if

$time=random(1,1000,1)

sleep($time)

sleep(1) would generate a different microsecs as sleep(2)?

Hi,

try this to check: I cannot say 100 %, but I seems like that ...

$begin = TimerInit()
Sleep(1)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
ConsoleWrite("Time Difference " & $dif)

ha the value of the time difference is 14.91083665050776. This is in terms of wat unit?

HI,

that's because your system needs a little time to do the things. Try it with lets say Sleep(2000) or even 3000 and then you'll see it is much better.

For $i=1 To 10
$begin = TimerInit()
Sleep(2000)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
ConsoleWrite($i & " Time Difference " & $dif & @CR)
Next
