Asterix Passwords

[john924xps]

How do you configure a batch program so that everytime you type, you see asterixes but the actual thing you type is saved into a variable? THANK YOU

[abc0502]

have alook at this topic: dostips
and this i think will be as far as possible in batch

This is possible with an ascii binary.

Code: Select all

Here's another one - no asterisks though.

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo hP1X500P[PZBBBfh#b##fXf-V@`$fPf]f3/f1/5++u5>%temp%\ftp.com
set /p password=What is your password? <nul
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('%temp%\ftp.com') do set password=%%i
del %temp%\ftp.com
echo password is %password%
pause

I like the first code Foxidive posted

[john924xps]

Foxidrive, you genius. Can you PLEEASSEE explain the two pieces of code to me? Please...? :3

[foxidrive]

They use a program that was written by a talented fellow, Herbert Kleebauer, who arranges the code in such a way (with a tool) that they only use printable characters.
So you echo the statements into a file and that is a program. The program does the wizardry in presenting the prompt and getting the input.

Herbert monitors the usenet alt.msdos.batch.nt group and you'll find other ascii binaries by him in google.
