Custom keys at the start of process, not before each PIN

[Krukosz]

Describe the bug

I have a problem with Mi A1 with Nougat. I created custom config, but I want to skip "KEYS_BEFORE_EACH_PIN" before first try after phone wake. Proper combination of keys is:

1. send awake keys to phone (done with variable KEYS_BEFORE_STARTING) - in this case enter tab tab space
2. type first combination: 1234
3. send keys KEYS_AFTER_EACH_PIN (enter)
4. if there's a cooldown, phone will turn off screen
   a. if screen is turned off (cooldown) - I want to send KEYS_BEFORE_STARTING
   b. is there's no cooldown - send KEYS_BEFORE_EACH_PIN,

Second question - If I start not from first PIN, will KEYS_BEFORE_STARTING be executed?

Does this combination could be done with your script, or I have to modify script?

Hi Krukosz,

Thanks for sharing your research into brute-forcing the M1 A1 with Nougat.

You could use SEND_KEYS_DISMISS_POPUPS_AT_COOLDOWN_END to send "enter tab tab space". This will only happen during a cooldown period.

Another option would be to figure out mouse emulation and send the display swipe up command, I've noticed that I have to rely on the keep alive for the Pixel I'm testing on, as once the screen turns off, I'm not able to bring up the pin prompt. If I use an external keyboard with a built in trackpad, the swipe up pulls up the pin prompt. I just haven't figured out how to use the mouse options for the HID program (and if my RPi is properly configured to also send/show up as a trackpad/mouse).

P.S. I have since discovered that ctrl-space can be used to bring up the pin entry menu on at least some devices (I did have to modify the tool to add a ctrl-space command that sends left-control spacebar
