Error when attempting to install Octave IO package - cygwin

When attempting to install the Octave io package on Windows 7 I receive the following error:
>> pkg install io-2.4.12.tar.gz
0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x60EA0000, RegionSize 0x190000, State 0x10000
C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.0\bin\perl.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0
warning: doc_cache_create: unusable help text found in file 'getxmlattv'
For information about changes from previous versions of the io package, run 'news io'.
>>
I have a read a few other similar questions but have been unable to find an answer, and I do not understand the error message in all honesty. I understand cygwin in a Unix-like interface for windows, but that is about it. I have tried running as administrator, deleting all temp files, restarting etc. but cannot get the pkg to install successfully. Any ideas?
The referenced file 'getxmlattv' is just a function and not a text file as described and cannot be run as a standalone file:
function [retval] = getxmlattv (xmlnode, att)
retval = '';
## Get end of first tag
iend = index (xmlnode, ">");
## Get start of value string. Concat '="' to ensure minimal ambiguity
vals = index (xmlnode, [att '="']);
if (vals == 0)
## Attribute not in current tag
return
elseif (vals)
vals = vals + length (att) + 2;
vale = regexp (xmlnode(vals:end), '"[ >/]');
if (! isempty (vale))
retval = xmlnode(vals:vals+vale-2);
endif
endif
endfunction
I don't see how this is of any use.

For the windows version of octave the packages are already available in the installer
https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows
so you don't need to install io from source package. Just re-run the installer
if you missed it.
Please note that the error message is misleading as you are not using the
cygwin version of octave but msys/mingw one; that is based on a modified
version of the cygwin1.dll where they forgot to update the messages:
$ strings msys-1.0.dll | grep cygwin
...
%P: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (%p <%p>) in child, %E

Internal Error: no cycle found in Scons Build

When I build my Sconstruct file, I am getting the below error.
scons: *** Found dependency cycle(s):
build/sselser/sselConfigArgs.h -> build/sselser/sselConfigArgs.h
Internal Error: no cycle found for node build/sselser/sselMain (<SCons.Node.FS.File instance at 0x9f61e8>) in state pending
Internal Error: no cycle found for node build/sselser/sselMain.o (<SCons.Node.FS.File instance at 0x9f2e68>) in state pending
File "/nfs/scons/scons-1.3.0/lib/scons-1.3.0/SCons/Taskmaster.py", line 1026, in cleanup
I guess this is due to dependency of sselMain in sselTransorm as the error occurs during the build of sselTransform directory.
Makefile in sselTransform:
UNIT_SUPPORT_FILES += ../sselser/sselMain intest ../../../make/Makenv
MDE_SUPPORT_FILES += ../sselser/sselMain intest ../../../make/Makenv
I need to add the same in Sconscript of sselTransform directory to resolve this issue.
How to resolve this issue?
Sconscript:
#Set CPPPATH, RPATH, DEFINES and CCFLAGS
env = Environment(CPPPATH =['.','../sselTransform','../sselSm','../sselSRC'],
RPATH = ['/l-n/app/colr/lib/infra/SunOS5.10/WS12.0'],CPPDEFINES = ['THREADSAFE','_RWSTD_SOLARIS_THREADS','_SVID_GETTO
D','DEBUG','sun5'],CCFLAGS = ['library=rwtools7_std','features=no%tmplife','-pta','-mt','-xdebugformat=stabs','-g0','-xildoff'])
env['CXX']=CXX
Src = Split('sselManager.C PromoNotifyMgr.C ')
env.StaticLibrary('libSselser-g0.a',Src)
Src1 = Split('sselMain.C sselManager.o PromoNotifyMgr.o ')
env.Program('sselMain',Src1)
configfile = 'sselConfigArgs.h'
CONFIG_PATH = '../../build/include/'
CONFIG=CONFIG_PATH+configfile
env.Command(CONFIG,configfile,
[Copy('$TARGET', '$SOURCE'),
Chmod('$TARGET', 0444)])
Sconstruct:
SConscript('src/ssel/sselser/SConscript',variant_dir='build/sselser',duplicate=0,exports='env')
Try this?
Notes:
I'm saving the build objects for your two source files and using those in both the program and static library.
I've added the target dir you're copying the header file to earlier in the CPPPATH.
You could have skipped the variables configfile, CONFIG_PATH, CONFIG and just used the strings in your Command.
You are using a VERY old version of SCons. If you're limited to python 2.7 please try using SCons 3.0.1? If you're not and can use Python 3.6, then try using SCons 4.3.0.

Angr can't solve the googlectf beginner problem

I am a student studying angr, first time.
I'm watching the code in this url.
https://github.com/Dvd848/CTFs/blob/master/2020_GoogleCTF/Beginner.md
import angr
import claripy
FLAG_LEN = 15
STDIN_FD = 0
base_addr = 0x100000 # To match addresses to Ghidra
proj = angr.Project("./a.out", main_opts={'base_addr': base_addr})
flag_chars = [claripy.BVS('flag_%d' % i, 8) for i in range(FLAG_LEN)]
flag = claripy.Concat( *flag_chars + [claripy.BVV(b'\n')]) # Add \n for scanf() to accept the input
state = proj.factory.full_init_state(
args=['./a.out'],
add_options=angr.options.unicorn,
stdin=flag,
)
# Add constraints that all characters are printable
for k in flag_chars:
state.solver.add(k >= ord('!'))
state.solver.add(k <= ord('~'))
simgr = proj.factory.simulation_manager(state)
find_addr = 0x101124 # SUCCESS
avoid_addr = 0x10110d # FAILURE
simgr.explore(find=find_addr, avoid=avoid_addr)
if (len(simgr.found) > 0):
for found in simgr.found:
print(found.posix.dumps(STDIN_FD))
https://github.com/google/google-ctf/tree/master/2020/quals/reversing-beginner/attachments
Which is the answer of googlectf beginner.
But, the above code does not work. It doesn't give me the answer.
I want to know why the code is not working.
When I execute this code, the output was empty.
I run the code with python3 in Ubuntu 20.04 in wsl2
Thank you.
I believe this script isn't printing anything because angr fails to find a solution and then exits. You can prove this by appending the following to your script:
else:
raise Exception('Could not find the solution')
If the exception raises, a valid solution was not found.
In terms of why it doesn't work, this code looks like copy & paste from a few different sources, and so it's fairly convoluted.
For example, the way the flag symbol is passed to stdin is not ideal. By default, stdin is a SimPackets, so it's best to keep it that way.
The following script solves the challenge, I have commented it to help you understand. You will notice that changing stdin=angr.SimPackets(name='stdin', content=[(flag, 15)]) to stdin=flag will cause the script to fail, due to the reason mentioned above.
import angr
import claripy
base = 0x400000 # Default angr base
project = angr.Project("./a.out")
flag = claripy.BVS("flag", 15 * 8) # length is expected in bits here
initial_state = project.factory.full_init_state(
stdin=angr.SimPackets(name='stdin', content=[(flag, 15)]), # provide symbol and length (in bytes)
add_options ={
angr.options.SYMBOL_FILL_UNCONSTRAINED_MEMORY,
angr.options.SYMBOL_FILL_UNCONSTRAINED_REGISTERS
}
)
# constrain flag to common alphanumeric / punctuation characters
[initial_state.solver.add(byte >= 0x20, byte <= 0x7f) for byte in flag.chop(8)]
sim = project.factory.simgr(initial_state)
sim.explore(
find=lambda s: b"SUCCESS" in s.posix.dumps(1), # search for a state with this result
avoid=lambda s: b"FAILURE" in s.posix.dumps(1) # states that meet this constraint will be added to the avoid stash
)
if sim.found:
solution_state = sim.found[0]
print(f"[+] Success! Solution is: {solution_state.posix.dumps(0)}") # dump whatever was sent to stdin to reach this state
else:
raise Exception('Could not find the solution') # Tell us if angr failed to find a solution state
A bit of Trivia - there are actually multiple 'solutions' that the program would accept, I guess the CTF flag server only accepts one though.
❯ echo -ne 'CTF{\x00\xe0MD\x17\xd1\x93\x1b\x00n)' | ./a.out
Flag: SUCCESS

decodestrings is not an attribute of base64 error in python 3.9.1

After upgrading from python 3.8.0 to python 3.9.1, the tremc front-end of transmission bitTorrent client is throwing decodestrings is not an attribute of base64 error whenever i click on a torrent entry to check the details.
My system specs:
OS: Arch linux
kernel: 5.6.11-clear-linux
base64.encodestring() and base64.decodestring(), aliases deprecated since Python 3.1, have been removed.
use base64.encodebytes() and base64.decodebytes()
So i went to the site-packages directory and with ripgrep tried searching for the decodestring string.
rg decodestring
paramiko/py3compat.py
39: decodebytes = base64.decodestring
Upon examining the py3compat.py file,i found this block:
PY2 = sys.version_info[0] < 3
if PY2:
string_types = basestring # NOQA
text_type = unicode # NOQA
bytes_types = str
bytes = str
integer_types = (int, long) # NOQA
long = long # NOQA
input = raw_input # NOQA
decodebytes = base64.decodestring
encodebytes = base64.encodestring
So decodebytes have replaced(aliased) decodestring attribute of base64 for python version >= 3
This must be a new addendum because tremc was working fine in uptil version 3.8.*.
Opened tremc script, found the erring line (line 441), just replaced the attribute decodestring with decodebytes.A quick fix till the next update.
PS: Checked the github repository, and there's a pull request for it in waiting.
If you don't want to wait for the next release and also don't want to hack the way i did, you can get it freshly build from the repository, though that would be not much of a difference than my method

Import SSL certificate by certutil in InstallShield

I have a function as below :
function LONG ImportSSL(hMSI)
STRING exeDir;
STRING sslDir;
NUMBER nvSize;
LONG ret;
begin
nvSize = 256;
MsiGetProperty (hMSI, "SETUPEXEDIR", exeDir, nvSize);
sslDir = exeDir ^ "ssl\\myCertificate.pfx";
ret = LaunchAppAndWait(WINDIR, "certutil -f -p \"\" -importpfx \"" + sslDir + "\"", WAIT);
if (ret != 0) then return ret; endif;
return 0;
end;
by running Setup.exe as below:
MySetup.exe /v"/l*v c:\SetupLog.log"
I see the below error in log file :
CustomAction ImportSSL returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 16:25:25: ImportSSL. Return value 3.
but when I execute certutil -f -p "" -importpfx "C:\myCertificate.pfx" by command prompt there is no any error , and that certeficate imported into IIS.
How can I know the details of error?
Any help will be truly appreciated.
The problem solution will depend on the following: 1)Is certificate file being delivered by the installer, or is it supposed to be present on the target machine? Check that the installer delivers it as a permanent file, or support file (in [SUPPORTDIR]), or if the file really exists; 2) where this custom action is located? Normally actions like that should be placed after InstallFinalize.

How can I add the build version to a scons build

At the moment I'm using some magic to get the current git revision into my scons builds.. I just grab the version a stick it into CPPDEFINES.
It works quite nicely ... until the version changes and scons wants to rebuild everything, rather than just the files that have changed - becasue the define that all files use has changed.
Ideally I'd generate a file using a custom builder called git_version.cpp and
just have a function in there that returns the right tag. That way only that one file would be rebuilt.
Now I'm sure I've seen a tutorial showing exactly how to do this .. but I can't seem to track it down. And I find the custom builder stuff a little odd in scons...
So any pointers would be appreciated...
Anyway just for reference this is what I'm currently doing:
# Lets get the version from git
# first get the base version
git_sha = subprocess.Popen(["git","rev-parse","--short=10","HEAD"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE ).communicate()[0].strip()
p1 = subprocess.Popen(["git", "status"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
p2 = subprocess.Popen(["grep", "Changed but not updated\\|Changes to be committed"], stdin=p1.stdout,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
result = p2.communicate()[0].strip()
if result!="":
git_sha += "[MOD]"
print "Building version %s"%git_sha
env = Environment()
env.Append( CPPDEFINES={'GITSHAMOD':'"\\"%s\\""'%git_sha} )
You don't need a custom Builder since this is just one file. You can use a function (attached to the target version file as an Action) to generate your version file. In the example code below, I've already computed the version and put it into an environment variable. You could do the same, or you could put your code that makes git calls in the version_action function.
version_build_template="""/*
* This file is automatically generated by the build process
* DO NOT EDIT!
*/
const char VERSION_STRING[] = "%s";
const char* getVersionString() { return VERSION_STRING; }
"""
def version_action(target, source, env):
"""
Generate the version file with the current version in it
"""
contents = version_build_template % (env['VERSION'].toString())
fd = open(target[0].path, 'w')
fd.write(contents)
fd.close()
return 0
build_version = env.Command('version.build.cpp', [], Action(version_action))
env.AlwaysBuild(build_version)
