Having to use #Autohotkey to input data into a legacy form 2000 times. Sitting here watching my PC type the same data in, row by row by row...
I had to put in a half-second delay in between each line or else the system locked up, so my computer is useless for 16 minutes.

DarkGate Malware Switches to AutoHotkey for Advanced Evasion Techniques
Date: June 2024
CVE: CVE-2023-36025, CVE-2024-21412
Vulnerability Type: Remote Code Execution, Information Disclosure
CWE: [[CWE-22]], [[CWE-427]]
Sources: McAfee , Trend Micro, The Hacker News
Synopsis
DarkGate malware, known for its stealth and versatility, has recently transitioned from using AutoIt to AutoHotkey for its attack scripts. This shift enhances its evasion capabilities against security software, posing a renewed threat to targeted systems.
Issue Summary
The DarkGate malware has been active since 2018, offering a range of malicious functions including remote access, keylogging, and data theft. In its latest iteration, observed in March 2024, the malware has switched from AutoIt to AutoHotkey scripts to bypass detection mechanisms such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. The malware is distributed through phishing emails containing malicious HTML or Excel attachments.
Technical Key Findings
DarkGate initiates its attack via a phishing email, tricking users into opening a malicious HTML or Excel file. This file exploits security flaws in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, allowing a Visual Basic Script to execute PowerShell commands that launch an AutoHotkey script. This script then downloads and executes the DarkGate payload.
Vulnerable Products
Impact Assessment
When exploited, DarkGate can provide attackers with full remote access to compromised systems. This includes capabilities for credential theft, keylogging, screen capturing, and installing additional malware, significantly jeopardizing the integrity and security of affected systems.

If you're a windows user and often find yourself typing out the current date in ISO8601 format, may you find this #autohotkey script helpful:
------------------------------------
#singleinstance force
typeDate()
{
Send %A_YYYY%-%A_MM%-%A_DD%
}
^!d:: typeDate()
------------------------------------
Put that into an ahk file, right click, compile to exe, then pop it in "shell:startup". Now you can type 2024-04-08 by pressing "ctrl-alt-d".

In MS #Office you can quickly switch between ribbon tabs with your mousewheel.
In
@libreoffice
you can't. Users have wanted this since at least 9 years ago.¹
Today I managed to hack together a really dirty little #AutoHotkey/#AHK_X11 script for Windows and GNU/Linux that makes this possible!

Hope it helps someone!

Caveat: It only supports legacy #AHK 1.1 syntax and does not aim for 100% feature parity/compatibility, but should enable you to use most of your #hotkeys and #hotstrings #crossplattform! (Sync on your own).

@nuron ah, das erinnert mich daran, dass ich mir genau das mit #AutoHotkey (AHK) für Win10 nachbauen wollte Ich kann mich ja melden, wenn ich es hinbekomme
@stux I run Linux and Windows and like both, so with that in mind...
I'll pitch in with a Pro-Windows response and positive reply and say #AutoHotkey is the best Windows program.
#introduction Checking/figuring this out for the first time.
I'm a techie, outdoorsy (Hiking in the mountains), booky, gamey nerd. I'm a Windows SysAdmin, I like scripting (#AutoHotkey, PowerShell) and writing applications (AHK), also Learning Linux.
Been reading a lot of Stephen King in self-isolation (Dark Tower, Institute, Shining, Doctor Sleep)
I'll probably sit back and watch until I get the hang of this :)
