I should probably make a flow chart, it might be easier to follow.

Dunno ... reminds me more of some of the overly complex sentence diagramming in English class when I was in high school, circa early 60's ... not certain flow charting could do justice  .

....not too sure what is even going on in this thread anymore 

-Stephen66515 (April 20, 2018, 08:16 AM)

Allow me to elucidate:
1) OP has asked for recommendations for software to perform a certain function.
2) Recommendations were given but OP gives no indication that any of them have actually been tried apart from being downloaded and having the AV complain about them.
3) [Insert number here] months later OP repeats same request and provides no explanation of why any previous suggestion was unsuitable because he has not tried them.
4) Repeat from step 2.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Could probably add that despite proving that the latest comment by him was incorrect that we will continue from step 3 anyway.

To put it another way, in the 5 years since the OP posted:
a) He could have reviewed every single keylogger out there and put his results in our Review section.
b) He could have learnt a programming language and written one that suits him.

PS. If you think I'm being overly sarcastic ... you are 100% correct.

PPS. I forgot to include that it usually takes at least a dozen posts over the course of a month or two to find out what is actually required.

I should probably make a flow chart, it might be easier to follow.

This ^ and the fact that a keylogger is basically always going to seem suspicious to an AV system (I'd be worried if it didn't...).

-Stephen66515 (April 20, 2018, 03:13 AM)

Exactly but it seems that most of the AV programs are either intelligent enough to know when something isn't doing something wrong until it does it or too dumb to know ... which is it?

And he specifically said MS Defender.

I gave Downthemall a try, but is there a way to make the downloads delay every x seconds so that I won't abuse the server???

-kalos (December 02, 2016, 05:48 PM)

You can configure concurrent downloads and downloads-per-server in DownThemAll - that really should be all you need to to avoid "abusing" anything

-f0dder (December 27, 2016, 10:16 AM)

-tomos (April 19, 2018, 11:27 PM)

dTA! can't insert a delay between downloads, the next is fired off as soon as the previous finishes.

wget can insert a delay, (including a random delay).

Code: Text [Select]

1. @echo off
2. wget --save-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data 'user=foo&password=bar' --delete-after http://server.com/auth.php
3. wget --load-cookies cookies.txt --secure-protocol="auto" --no-http-keep-alive -w 60 --random-wait --input-file="list.txt"

MS Defender doesn't complain about the latest version at all both on my system or via VirusTotal.
MBAM doesn't complain about it either scanning the executable or when it's running.

It doesn't send anything to the network, it doesn't cause thermonuclear meltdown, the Sun still set today, I still have to pay taxes, and (most annoyingly) it doesn't make coffee.

It can be extracted from its installer and run without having to install it.

I don't want it to be 'stealth' or anything like that or 'hidden' or 'invinsible' as it is only for me and nothing malicious.

-kalos (April 19, 2018, 11:31 AM)

It also doesn't run as 'stealth', 'hidden', or 'invisible' unless you tell it to hide the tray icon.

For DVDs I still use RipIt4Me, the first program able to walk through the IFO files IIRC, which meant you could rip the whole disc, movie + menu, or just the movie and it would remove all the non-referenced VOBs, chapters, menu deadends, and whatever else they tried to do to obfuscate ripping.

I don't feel comfortable using WGET. I need a GUI so that I can see the progress etc.

Is there a GUI download manager that will allow me to download a list of urls, from a login website, delaying 5 seconds between each attempt? Ideally, it could scan the links of the url and download any files of specific extensions in those urls?

-kalos (April 14, 2018, 03:22 PM)

Downthemall might do it.

-wraith808 (April 14, 2018, 03:39 PM)

It was suggested, he doesn't like it or it's too complicated.

JDownloader as suggested by Deozaan could most likely handle it, (logging in and downloading), but if he baulks at DownThemAll he's going to have no hope with JDownloader.

They need to strip out all the irrelevant characters before checking, both from the input address and their lookup lists.

-4wd (April 11, 2018, 10:37 PM)

AFAIK, that's only applicable for @gmail.* and gmail provided (undetectable as they can have any domain name, I presume) e-mail addresses, and not for 'regular' e-mail providers , unless you know of other e-mail providers that follow the same policy/structure?

-Ath (April 12, 2018, 01:21 AM)

It was an example, (the eg. bit), they could filter based on the domain the email address belongs to, (gmail.com, hotmail.com, mail.ru, etc), using whatever addressing rules the provider uses.

Even if they did it only for gmail it should considerably reduce the size of the lists and the need to input multiple email addresses for checking.

I'm only really talking about the big providers here which would probably cover >90% of the list, it'd be impossible to cater for every domain, (eg. [email protected]).

Deal valid for the next 13.5 days.

Keep in mind that at the moment, Vegas Pro Edit 15 (the 'Edit' edition of Vegas Pro 14 is what is in the Humble Bundle deal) is offered for $150 until Dec 26:

-mwb1100 (December 22, 2017, 05:53 PM)

They've been consistently reminding me that I can upgrade to Vegas Pro v15 Edit for $149 pretty much every 2-4 days for the last 4 months or so.  Main difference between 14 and 15 is GPU accelerated encoding but I usually output to MagicYUV or Lagarith and then use VidCoder or StaxRip, I find they seem to give a subjectively better visual output.

Living Room / Re: Have I Been Pwned? Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach

« Last post by 4wd on April 11, 2018, 10:37 PM »

Out of 23 gmail addresses, 3 have one breach each, (all different).

Not too worried as it was for sites that were unimportant, 2FA is used on the gmail accounts and any important sites.

That site is rather limited in it's checking algorithm though, eg.

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

All the same address as far as email is concerned but the checker regards each as being a separate entity, ie. [email protected] is compromised but as far as the check is concerned, [email protected] won't be.

They need to strip out all the irrelevant characters before checking, both from the input address and their lookup lists.

Thanks but, the problem with that is that some cookies/form-logins expire. So when you go on downloading a file it displays the form to login instead.
That's why I am looking for a software that can detect that and use my login each time it is need.
Is there a way to do this?

It seems my request is not as simple as I thought.. Have you tried telling the script to hit the up-arrowkey twice, perhaps?

-Techno Grub (April 07, 2018, 06:28 AM)

The problem is the Lock Screen is not designed to be interacted with using a program, I think that would kind of defeat the purpose in using it to secure Windows.

There appear to be ways around it by replacing some system files but that also compromises security.

I think that if the keypress can be made so that it appears to come from the keyboard buffer then it'll work, (SendKeys uses Windows messages from what I understand).

It would appear that Windows/System32/Group Policy is an empty folder, so no Machine/Scripts/Startup is found, unfortunately.

-Techno Grub (April 05, 2018, 01:05 PM)

The directory structure is created when an entry is input via Group Policy Editor.  Group Policy directory is read-only by default anyway.

You just need to go to the appropriate entry in the editor and select a cmd/PowerShell file from anywhere, it doesn't need to reside in Windows/System32/Group Policy/Machine/Scripts/Startup ... but I couldn't get it to run.

It's been a hectic week for me but I'm still trying to find time to try some potential solutions.

-skwire (April 05, 2018, 01:30 PM)

Tried using Task Scheduler set as Run at startup both as myself with highest privileges and as LOCAL SERVICE with highest privileges, still didn't do anything.  Not even attempted according to the task history.

I'll try it later today with it also writing a marker file with the time inside just so I can see if it runs at all in either situation.

ADDENDUM: OK, got it to run at startup and according to the Task History it ran while the Lock Screen was being displayed but it didn't interact with the screen.
The task was apparently started 20 seconds after the Lock Screen appeared and I also had a 20 second delay, Task shows as completing successfully.
Task was set to SYSTEM user.

Now have to try specifically directing the keypress to the winlogon.exe process, might need to do this in AHK/AutoIT/etc as a compiled program.

Was testing this on my laptop and forgot to turn off Start the task only if the computer is on AC power for initial test ... 

Following ran but didn't interact either:

Code: PowerShell [Select]

1. (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).AppActivate((get-process winlogon).MainWindowTitle)
2. (New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell).SendKeys('{UP}')

-dcwul62 (April 04, 2018, 02:23 AM)

I have an idea, how about you standardise your filenames instead of having other people try and conform to your seemingly chaotic system?

It started off with:
yyyymmdd_hhmmss
ddmmyyyy_hhmmss

Now it appears that yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss is also to be included, no doubt there's also dd-mm-yyyy_hhmmss plus who knows what other combinations.

Choose a format and do a rename of all the non-conforming files before running the script that sets the timestamps and then the whole process becomes simpler for everyone.
