AUTOIT

2. DEFINITION
• AutoIt v3 is a freeware automation language for Microsoft
Windows.
• It is the combination of the emulation of key press, mouse
movement and window manipulation to perform automatic tasks
(GUIs and common operations) in a way that other languages
​​can not do or do not accurately.

3. DEMO
• Hello Framgia
• Calculator
• Auto install CCleaner
• Auto reply YM!

4. FEATURES
• Scripting language with BASIC-like structure for Windows
Desktop Environment (simple).
• Add-on libraries and modules for specific applications.
• On-line support forum for AutoIt users and developers.
• Supports TCP and UDP protocols.
• Supports COM (component object modelling) objects.
• Can call Win32 DLLs and API functions.
• Run console applications and access the standard streams.

5. FEATURES
• Create GUI interfaces, including message and input boxes.
• Play sounds, pause, resume, stop, seek, get the current position
of the sound and get the length of the sound.
• Simulate mouse movements.
• Manipulate windows and processes.
• Automate sending user input and keystrokes to applications, as
well as to individual controls within an application.
• Scripts can be compiled into standalone executable ones.

6. FEATURES
• Unicode support from version 3.2.4.0.
• 64-bit code support from version 3.2.10.0.
• Supports regular expressions.
• Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control.
• Object oriented design through a library
• Be distributed with an IDE based on the free SciTE editor.

7. LIMITATIONS
• Include files in the compiled file to be extracted when run
-> Decompile easily
• Use a classical data model, using a variant data type that can
store several types of data, including arrays
• -> Debug difficultly
• Single threaded which makes asynchronous programming,
concurrency and parallelism (e.g. communications applications)
extremely difficult.
• AutoIt applications sometimes get a false positive report from
virus scanners using heuristics, because the application is a self
extracting executable.

8. USAGES
• Produce utility software for Microsoft Windows
• Automate common tasks, such as software installation, website
monitoring, network monitoring, disk defragging and backup.
• Simulate application users, whereby an application is driven by
an AutoIt script in place of manual application control
during software testing.
• Develop computer game bots, for automating in-game tasks
• ….Develop virus ;(
