FakeConsole 1.4 (Advanced Computers)

Added config file!

Please post ANY way you can notice a graphical difference between this and CraftOS!

Hello all! FakeConsole is a program I have written that locks your computer until you type in your set passcode(default "fakeexit")! But here's the catch: There is no graphical differences with this and the normal CraftOS! This program, whenever you type ANYTHING other than the set passcode, shows the error "No such program"! This program can be used to fool hackers, noobs, and trolls! Currently the only way to bypass this is placing a diskdrive with a startup disk in it and [Ctrl+R]ing.

Screenshots:

Download:

Enable HTTP Api in your minecraft/config/ComputerCraft.cfg, and type the following into the console:

pastebin get 6yDBrDb4 disk/startup(Make sure you have a disk inserted!)

Code at:

pastebin.com/rhDb53sD

GravityScore for helping me with the Up/Down Arrow Functionality!

Upcoming features:

• Auto-Updating: Working on right now! Implemented! Unimplemented for un-userfriendlyness. Just run the install disk again!
  
• Config file: Need to learn more about string reading. XP Finished in 1.4!
  
• Anything you suggest! (within reason)

Please leave more suggestions in the comments!

This was my first released program, so constructive criticism is welcome! Sorry for the microscopic screenshots.

Thanks,

Mudkip

This is an interesting take on the typical "locker" program. Nice work.

Thank you!
Edit: And would their be any way to implement the UPARROW key doing last command? That's why the title is called An ALMOST unnoticeable fake console.

[CoolisTheName007]

This is an extremely good idea!!!
Until better security is provided against booting by disk / console access , every ruse is worth!
Maybe it can even be expanded to fool people even better...e.g. running them as different users...but then again the idea is to stop them using a computer...

Oh, that was me just thinking out loud.

[MudkipTheEpic]

That's ok.

[MudkipTheEpic]

Would there be anyone that would like to include this in their OS? If so, PM me.

Updated with new snippet on MY pastebin account, not a guest. XP

Of course its possible! Someone had to program it for the default shell. Poke around rom/programs/shell and see if you can figure it out yourself. Ask us if you need help.

But I'm out of luck if it's in bios.lua....

[MudkipTheEpic]

Update: Well I found a snippet of code in bios.lua which lists how they use the keys..... Time to ask a pro about it. XD

Edit: Here's the code:

while true do
  local sEvent, param = os.pullEvent()
  if sEvent == "char" then
   sLine = string.sub( sLine, 1, nPos ) .. param .. string.sub( sLine, nPos + 1 )
   nPos = nPos + 1
   redraw()
  
  elseif sEvent == "key" then
	  if param == keys.enter then
    -- Enter
    break
   
   elseif param == keys.left then
    -- Left
    if nPos > 0 then
	 nPos = nPos - 1
	 redraw()
    end
   
   elseif param == keys.right then
    -- Right   
    if nPos < string.len(sLine) then
	 nPos = nPos + 1
	 redraw()
    end
  
   elseif param == keys.up or param == keys.down then
			    -- Up or down
    if _tHistory then
	 redraw(" ");
	 if param == keys.up then
	  -- Up
	  if nHistoryPos == nil then
	   if #_tHistory > 0 then
	    nHistoryPos = #_tHistory
	   end
	  elseif nHistoryPos > 1 then
	   nHistoryPos = nHistoryPos - 1
	  end
	 else
	  -- Down
	  if nHistoryPos == #_tHistory then
	   nHistoryPos = nil
	  elseif nHistoryPos ~= nil then
	   nHistoryPos = nHistoryPos + 1
	  end	 
	 end
	
	 if nHistoryPos then
					 sLine = _tHistory[nHistoryPos]
					 nPos = string.len( sLine )
				    else
	  sLine = ""
	  nPos = 0
	 end
	 redraw()
			    end
   elseif param == keys.backspace then
    -- Backspace
    if nPos > 0 then
	 redraw(" ");
	 sLine = string.sub( sLine, 1, nPos - 1 ) .. string.sub( sLine, nPos + 1 )
	 nPos = nPos - 1	
	 redraw()
    end
   elseif param == keys.home then
    -- Home
    nPos = 0
    redraw() 
   elseif param == keys.delete then
    if nPos < string.len(sLine) then
	 redraw(" ");
	 sLine = string.sub( sLine, 1, nPos ) .. string.sub( sLine, nPos + 2 )   
	 redraw()
    end
   elseif param == keys["end"] then
    -- End
    nPos = string.len(sLine)
    redraw()
   end
  end
end

term.setCursorBlink( false )
term.setCursorPos( w + 1, sy )
print()

return sLine
end

On line 9

if fs.exists("fakeconsole") = true then

You forgot to put ==, it needs to look like this

if fs.exists("fakeconsole") == true then

Otherwise, nice program

It shouldn't even need " == true" at all...

Suggestion:

When you terminate the default console, it shuts down the computer. Do something like this:

event = os.pullEvent()
if event == "terminate" then
  term.setTextColor(colors.red)
  write("Terminated")
  term.setTextColor(colors.white)
  print("Press any key to continue")
  event = os.pullEvent()
  if event == "key" then
    os.shutdown()
  end
end

[MudkipTheEpic]

Thanks for all of your replies!!! I am adding the terminate feature right after I type this, and I fixed the bug ComputerCraftFan11 posted!

Thanks,
Mudkip

Edit: Problem. In order to terminate, you need to press Control then T. But if you press Control even just a split second before T, instead of simultaneously, it bypasses that function and just goes on to the readLine. AND you can ACTUALLY terminate it then. What am I going to do.....

Here's the beta code:
