VERY IMPORTANT

Attackers are always looking for new ways to execute files on Windows systems. One trick involves using either AutoIT or AutoHotKey, simple tools that allow users to write small programs for all sorts of GUI and keyboard automation tasks on Windows. For example, AutoHotKey (AHK) allows users to write code (in its own scripting language) that interacts with Windows, reads text from Windows and sends keystrokes to other applications, among other tasks. AHK also allows users to create a compiled exe with their code in it.
