Prompts (Password, Username, etc.)

The original prompt command for detecting a password request could not work for some of your servers, depending on the : language settings, customized distribution prompt changes, etc.

In this cases you may need to adjust your prompt regex.

For example, the original prompt regex for password detections is:

([pP]ass|[pP]ass[wW]or[dt](\s+for\s+|\w+@\w+)*|[cC]ontrase.a|Enter passphrase for key '.+')\s*:\s*$

While this prompt work very will in general for english platforms, it has some minor issues in other latin languages where the grammar changes.

In the above example, the expression expects that immediately after the "password" word detected e ":" should come up. Which is not true for spanish.

# Enlish prompt

(current) UNIX Password:

# Spanish prompt

(actual) Contraseña de UNIX:

Below is a more general regular expression (but not complete)

(?mi)(pass(word|phrase)|contraseña).*?:\s*$

But this expression is limited to English and Spanish. You may need to edit the Spanish word contraseña or add more words in different languages to the regular expression.

For example:

(?mi)(pass(word|phrase)|contraseña|passwort).*?:\s*$

or

(?mi)(pass(wor[dt]|phrase)|contraseña).*?:\s*$

Recommended Password prompt

(?mi)(pass(word|phrase)|contraseña).*?:\s*$
