My first script and I am stuck

[Thetan]

I am trying to create a script that will bypass a CAPTCHA. .....I know what your thinking, but this site uses a very weak CAPTCHA system. The CAPTCHA image source has the actual CAPTCHA solve right in it which is also referenced several times in the full page source.

Script Objective:

1. Open IE

2. Navigate to the page

3. Copy specified characters from source

4. Paste the character string into an HTML form

5. Press Submit

6. Repeat

My problem is I tried using:

CODE

#Region --- IE-Builder generated code Start ---

$oIE = _IECreate()

;------------- User input --------------

_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.autoitscript.com/") ; web address

$Find = " " ; my info shows after this line... or just find this line

$Before = " " ; my info shows before this line... or set as ""

; ------------ End User input -------------

Sleep(1000)

$body = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)

$sloc = @TempDir & "\stest.txt"

FileDelete($sloc)

FileWrite($sloc, $body)

$sfile = FileOpen($sloc, 0)

$num = 0

While 2

$num = $num + 1

$sline = FileReadLine($sfile, $num)

If @error Then

MsgBox(262208, "Fail", "The string was NOT found ")

FileClose($sfile)

Exit

EndIf

If StringInStr($sline, $Find) Then

MsgBox(64, "Success", "The string " & $Find & " was found " & @CRLF & " on line # " & $num, 5)

If $Before = "" Then ExitLoop

$Found = _StringBetween($sline, $Find, $Before)

MsgBox(64, "Found", "The string is *" & $Found[0] & "* ", 5)

ExitLoop

EndIf

WEnd

#EndRegion --- IE-Builder generated code End ---

This cannot find my specified characters, nor do I have any idea how to implement the rest of my script.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is the second post in 20 minutes on this subject? Are you the same as the last one? Read post: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=65120

Well first off if that is how you could bypass that captcha than you can find all that from the helpfile. If you had too you could get auto it to search in the source HTML. But why would you want to bypass a captcha?

I feel like these are two completely different posts actually. In the other post the user is asking completely mundane questions without actually knowing how to bypass the CAPTCHA, whereas I have asked somewhat specific questions and already figured out the security flaw in the CAPTCHA.

Well first off if that is how you could bypass that captcha than you can find all that from the helpfile. If you had too you could get auto it to search in the source HTML. But why would you want to bypass a captcha?

I am having a hard time understanding your reply. I think what you mean is that, If I can find the security flaw than I am able enough to use the helpfile and figure it out for myself. Secondly I do want AutoIt to search in the Source, I am just having trouble finding the right command to do that. The helpfile is not very specific. The reason I want to bypass the CAPTCHA is to automate a proprietary voting system.

Anyways, I am doing better with the code at this point but I still have a lot of questions. Anyone willing to offer insight?

I will chat it up on AIM or ICQ also if someone is willing.

I didn't mean for it to sound like that, sorry. There are a couple of things you could do, I'm pretty sure there are some functions to search the source, I can't think of any. You could always make the script open up the source of the current page and search it there. It's more work but it should do the job if it's your last resort.

Thats all I can think of right now, I'm tired...

Thanks for the reply, I may resort to that. I thought that the code I have would work, I am not sure why it doesn't, does the IEBodyReadHTML function not read HTML? Am I using the complete wrong function? Also is it possible that I can use _IEImgGetCollection and store only the last four characters of the img src into a variable, or just say read after " " and store that as a variable?
