Summary: An easy difficulty machine hosted on HackTheBox requiring exploitation of the ELK stack.
Tikvah and myself worked on rooting this box together, please go check his projects out and show him some love! <3 First we head over to the web page being hosted by the box and are greeted with this image.
We downloaded the image, ran it through strings and found base64 hidden inside the file.
Decoding it using openssl we find that the message is in Spanish. We translate it using Google and get the following.
With not much else to go on from here we began enumerating the services on the box using Nmap.
Whilst port 22 and 80 are commonplace in most of these boxes, port 9200 is not typically seen open. After some research we connected to the port via our browser and discovered that the box is running Elasticsearch. The tagline 'You Know, for Search' is a hint to the next step.
After some digging around we discovered that Elasticsearch has a built in search API. After navigating to this API we are presented with various bits of data such as _id, _index, _type etc. We are also shown another service which appears to be running on the box, Kibana and it's version 6.4.2, make note of this for later.
Again we hit a wall so we decided to play around with the API a little. First we queried one of the _id numbers 44 like so '_search?q=_id:44' which revealed many more pieces of data to look through. One specifically of interest was the _index type "quotes", we again queried this using the API like so '_search?q=_index:quotes' and it returned a considerable amount of results.
We again ran out of ideas here and began digging around the web some more. Eventually we came across a tool called elasticdump and after some fiddling around trying to get it to install then some more trying to get it to run, we were able to dump all of the "quotes" data. Once we had the dump all that was left to do was find the needle in the haystack!
Think back to the base64 encoded message in the image from when we first connected to this box. 'la aguja en el pajar es "clave"' translated to 'the needle in the haystack is "key"'. So all we had to do was run the dump through cat and pipe the output into grep using clave as our keyword and voila!
Now all that's left to do is translate the Spanish to English and decode the base64 messages and we have the credentials we need to gain a foothold onto the box!
Using these credentials we login via SSH and we now have the user flag!
This is where the difficulty of the box steps up a notch. Recall before when we found that another service called Kibana was running on this box. Now we have a foothold we search for this service using whereis and take a look at it's config file 'kibana.yml', from this we are able to determine that it is running locally on port 5601.
After some more searching the web we find that this version of Kibana, 6.4.2, is vulnerable to CVE-2018-17246 a local file inclusion vulnerability which would allow us to gain a reverse shell on the application. All we need to do is tweak the shell to connect to our own IP like so.
It took some fiddling around to get this right as described in the link to the CVE, node's module caching feature will cache any filename it is passed, meaning we can't use the same file to spawn a shell twice. All we need to do is set up a netcat listener on our own machine, from the victim machine save our shell to '/tmp/' and then make a local request to our shell using curl, wait about a minute and our listener should catch that shell!
Victim machine
Attacking machine
So now we have access to the kibana user our next step is to exploit the last segment of the ELK stack which is Logstash. After finding the config files we take a look at them to find a way to escalate our privileges further. In input.conf we can see it is looking for files in the path "/opt/kibana/logstash_*" the asterisk at the end is a wildcard meaning this config file will execute all files starting with 'logstash_' in that specific directory.
The next config file filter.conf is using grok filtering to take files that have their type set to 'execute' and are then matching the message inside the file with "Ejecutar\s*comando\s*:\s+%{GREEDYDATA:comando}". The last config file output.conf merely takes the selected file and executes it as a shell command.
So all we need to do to exploit this is create our own file in /opt/kibana/, the file name needs to start with 'logstash_', containing the following format "Ejecutar comando: [our command]" to execute a command of our choosing. Like before we'll leverage netcat to catch a reverse shell like so!
Victim machine
Attacking machine
The shell may take a few minutes until it connects but once it does all that's left to do is navigate to the root directory and capture the root flag to own the box!

Woman‘s Uber Eats sacking ‘dystopian’: TWU
by Steven TraskThe case of an Uber Eats driver who was allegedly sacked for delivering food 10 minutes late has been likened to modern-day slavery.
The Transport Workers Union on Monday launched an appeal against a previous Fair Work Commission decision that upheld the sacking of Adelaide-based driver Amita Gupta.
Ms Gupta delivered food for Uber Eats for as many as 96 hours per week, according to the TWU.
She was stood down in January without the right to appeal after receiving a message that her access to the Uber app had been stopped.
The Commission previously rejected Ms Gupta’s unfair dismissal claim, saying she was not an actual employee of Uber Eats.
This means she was not protected by unfair dismissal laws.
The union’s appeal on behalf of Ms Gupta was about ending “worker exploitation via an app”.
“We do not believe it is in the public interest for these dystopian conditions to be allowed to endure and become the norm in Australia,” TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine said in a statement.
The union is seeking to establish rights for gig-economy workers after previous legal fights with Deliveroo and Foodora.

Bale Booed By Real Fans In Comeback Victory
by SL InternationalLaLiga
Reslt: Real Madrid 3-1 Real Sociedad
Date: 23 November 2019
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Gareth Bale was booed with every touch by his own supporters in Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane made only one enforced change from their win over Eibar before the FIFA break as Rodrygo took the place of the injured Lucas Vazquez. Meanwhile, Sociedad welcomed back centre-back Aritz Elustondo and Martin Odegaard started ahead of Adnan Januzaj against his parent club.
Madrid had a horrible start after Sergio Ramos made a costly back-pass in the second minute of the match that was intercepted by Willian Jose and the Brazilian forward easily slotted past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois..
Zidane's charges took time before they could find their rhythm going froward, with the visitors effectively pressing them high but they eventually levelled matters eight minutes before the break thanks to an improvised finish from Benzema after Luka Modric delivered a delightful free-kick into the box.
Choose the right winger for SA's Real Madrid Dream Team & win a replica shirt!
That situation changed two minutes into the second stanza as Federico Valverde gave Los Blancos the lead with a thumping strike that took a deflection off Mikel Oyarzabal and left goalkeeper Alex Remiro flat-footed.
Zidane was looking to kill of the match in the 67th minute as Gareth Bale came on for Rodrygo amidst the jeers and whistles.
The Welshman, however, played a role in Madrid finding the third goal, as his cross was nodded into the path of Modric by Benzema, leaving the Croatian to rifle home a left-footed volley with 15 minutes remaining.
The victory sees Real move level on points with league leaders FC Barcelona, who boast a superior goal difference.

Solihull Moors eyeing five straight home wins in Dagenham and Redbridge clash
Moors are eyeing their fifth straight home win on Saturday afternoon.
by Mat Kendrick, https://www.facebook.com/matkendrickjournalist/Solihull Moors are aiming to make home advantage count again when they take on Dagenham & Redbridge in the National League today.
Moors hope to make it five league wins on the spin at the SportNation.bet Stadium this afternoon having beaten Stockport, Wrexham, Sutton and Bromley.
In fact 21 of their 27 points so far this season have come at home.
Their overall points tally matches that of today's opponents and boss Tim Flowers is expecting a challenging match.
”It will be a really tough game, they’re a good side," said Flowers.
"They’ve brought a few players in and they’ve got a very good manager in Peter Taylor.
“Peter is a manager that I played for at Leicester. He’s a very decorated and experienced manager, currently doing an outstanding job at Dagenham.
“We are looking to bounce back from last week’s very late defeat at Maidenhead and keep our impressive home league record going.”
Moors exited the Scottish Challenge Cup in midweek after losing to Rangers Colts 4-3 on penalties after the tie ended in a 3-3 draw.
Darren Carter is expected to be in the squad today after announcing his return from injury with a stunning free-kick goal in that match.
Moors are ninth in the table, one place above today's visitors on goal difference.

Stanford, Washington St look to redeem disappointing seasons
by NICHOLAS K. GERANIOSStanford and Washington State will face off Saturday trying to take the next step toward redeeming disappointing seasons.
Both teams need to win two of their next three games to qualify for a bowl, a solid goal for programs out of contention in the Pac-12 that have made a habit of getting to the postseason in recent years.
Washington State coach Mike Leach has grown increasingly frustrated with his team for losing five of its last six.
TOP STORIES

Nunes accuses Democrats of 'Watergate fantasies,' impeachment case built on 'rumors'
Company co-founded by Nancy Pelosi's son charged with securities fraud
“As coaches, we have not been able to turn this into a consistently tough team,” Leach said after a loss at Cal last weekend. “And so, some of this nicey-nice positive stuff we’ve experimented with, well, that experiment’s failed.”
Leach has consistently ripped the Cougars (4-5, 1-5 Pac-12) for lacking leadership, despite losing only a few players from the team that went 11-2 last season.
“Any time any one of these guys thinks they’re a leader, they fall on their face,” Leach said.
Of course, the Cougars are doing some things well.
They lead the nation in passing at 433 yards per game, and they lead the Pac-12 in scoring at 39.8 points per game. But the defense has given up too many explosive plays, Leach said.
As for Stanford, “they are big and they are strong,” Leach said.
“They like to pound the ball, but they have the ability to throw it,” Leach said.
He said the Cardinal are similar to his Cougars. “They are battling and fighting through,” Leach said.
Washington State has a three-game winning streak against Stanford (4-5, 3-4).
Preparing to stop Washington State’s Air Raid offense can be stressful, said Stanford safety Stuart Head.
“It’s probably the most hectic preparation week in the whole season,” Head said. “They always have the leading passer in the country and a great group of receivers.”
Stanford coach David Shaw sees similarities between himself and the mercurial Leach.
“We enjoy the game. We enjoy the chess match on game day,” Shaw said. “My (play) call sheet is 10 times bigger than his. But when you watch them, you don’t see that because he’s the master adjuster.”
“He’ll say he’s got five pass plays in a game, but they look like 25,” Shaw said.
ADEBO OUT
Stanford will play without cornerback Paulson Adebo, an All-Pac-12 selection who suffered an injury in the Cardinal’s loss at Colorado last weekend. Shaw said he could be out for several weeks.
QUARTERBACK QUESTIONS
Shaw announced Friday that quarterback K.J. Costello will not play against Washington State. Costello has been limited to five games this season because of injuries. Backup Davis Mills has also dealt with injuries, but Shaw said he was at full strength this week.
GOING BOWLING
Washington State needs at least two wins in its final three regular-season games to qualify for a bowl. The games against Stanford and Oregon State are in Pullman, while the season finale is Nov. 29 at archrival Washington.
Stanford needs at least two wins against either the Cougars, Cal or Notre Dame.
Stanford has gone to a bowl game in 10 straight seasons, while the Cougars have made a bowl game in the past four.
AIR RAID
Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon leads the nation with 3,794 passing yards and 34 touchdown passes. His favorite receiver is Brandon Arconado, who leads the league with five 100-yard receiving games.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Washington State running back Max Borghi is the only Power 5 player with at least 550 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns this season. He is second in the league with an average of 6.8 yards per carry and leads all running backs in the nation with 52 receptions.

The
rgbfix program changes headers of Game Boy ROM
images. It also performs other filetype operations, such as truncation. The
arguments are as follows:
-
-
- -C
- Set the Game Boy Color–only flag:
0x143 = 0xC0. If both this and the
-c flag are set, this takes precedence.
-
-
- -c
- Set the Game Boy Color–compatible flag:
0x143 = 0x80. If both this and the
-C flag are set,
-C takes precedence.
-
-
- -f
fix_spec
- Fix certain header values that the Game Boy checks for
correctness. Alternatively, intentionally trash these values by writing
their binary inverse instead. fix_spec is
a string containing any combination of the following characters:
- l
- Fix the Nintendo logo
(0x104–0x133).
- L
- Trash the Nintendo logo.
- h
- Fix the header checksum (0x14D).
- H
- Trash the header checksum.
- g
- Fix the global checksum
(0x14E–0x14F).
- G
- Trash the global checksum.
-
-
- -i
game_id
- Set the game ID string
(0x13F–0x142) to a given string
of exactly 4 characters. If both this and the title are set, the game ID
will overwrite the overlapping portion of the title.
-
-
- -j
- Set the non-Japanese region flag: 0x14A =
1.
-
-
- -k
licensee_str
- Set the new licensee string
(0x144–0x145) to a given
string, truncated to at most two characters.
-
-
- -l
licensee_id
- Set the old licensee code, 0x14B, to a
given value from 0 to 0xFF. This value is deprecated and should be set to
0x33 in all new software.
-
-
- -m
mbc_type
- Set the MBC type, 0x147, to a given value
from 0 to 0xFF.
-
-
- -n
rom_version
- Set the ROM version, 0x14C, to a given
value from 0 to 0xFF.
-
-
- -p
pad_value
- Pad the image to a valid size with a given pad value from 0
to 0xFF. rgbfix will automatically pick a
size from 32KiB, 64KiB, 128KiB, ..., 8192KiB and give a warning
thereafter. The cartridge size byte (0x148) will be
changed to reflect this new size.
-
-
- -r
ram_size
- Set the RAM size, 0x149, to a given value
from 0 to 0xFF.
-
-
- -s
- Set the SGB flag: 0x146 = 3.
-
-
- -t
title
- Set the title string
(0x134–0x143) to a given
string, truncated to at most 16 characters. It is recommended to use 15
characters instead, to avoid clashing with the CGB flag
(-c or -C). If
both this and the game ID are set, the game ID will overwrite the
overlapping portion of the title.
-
-
- -V
- Print the version of the program and exit.
-
-
- -v
- Equivalent to -f
lhg.
Most values in the ROM header are only cosmetic. The bare minimum requirements
for a workable image are checksums, the Nintendo logo, and (if needed) the
CGB/SGB flags. It is a good idea to pad the image to a valid size as well
(“valid” meaning a multiple of 32KiB).
The following will make a plain, no-color Game Boy game without checking for a
valid size:
$ rgbfix -v foo.gb
The following will make a SGB-enabled, color-enabled game with a title of
“foobar”, and pad it to a multiple of 32KiB. (The Game Boy
itself does not use the title, but some emulators or ROM managers might.)
$ rgbfix -vcs -l 0x33 -p 0 -t foobar baz.gb
The following will duplicate the header (sans global checksum) of the game
“Survival Kids”:
$ rgbfix -cjsv -k A4 -l 0x33 -m 0x1B -p 0xFF -r 3 -t
SURVIVALKIDAVKE SurvivalKids.gbc

I notice there’s another Behavior Driven Development framework for Java called Instinct (via). I have commented on BDD before.
Here’s an example test:
import static com.googlecode.instinct.expect.Expect.expect;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.BeforeSpecification;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Context;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Specification;
public final class AnEmptyStack {
private Stack<Object> stack;
@BeforeSpecification
void setUp() {
stack = new StackImpl<Object>();
}
@Specification
void mustBeEmpty() {
expect.that(stack.isEmpty()).equalTo(true);
}
}
Yeah, that’s… great. What would it look like in a doctest?
>>> Stack<Object> stack = new StackImpl<Object>();
>>> stack.isEmpty()
true
Of course you have to invent a REPL for Java, but I’m sure that’s not very hard.
What does all that class infrastructure, setUp, mustBeEmpty and the weird DSLish stuff give you? Beats me. Doctest started in Python but now also exists in Ruby and Javascript. Someone needs to port the concept to Java too. People ported SUnit all over the place, so there’s no reason a good idea can’t spread. I can’t help feel that BDD is a case of a bad idea spreading; the motivations for BDD are fine (a change in developer testing workflow), but the technique they use to try to reach the desired workflow is totally bizarre.

I just assumed that Java programmers liked to type a lot? ;p
The degree of typing in order to achieve a goal is hardly the point. Ruby on Rails does a lot of work for you, but it’s all magical and mystical, and when stuff breaks, it breaks HARD, and heaven help you in finding the bug with any ease. By contrast, us insane, lame-ass Java folks love being able to debug with relative ease. So, what say we just keep down the ridicule before we actually understand why some people prefer certain languages/environments, and be a little less “fanboy”-like.
Just because Java does something doesn’t mean it is some sensible side-effect of static typing. In this case there’s nothing more lax about my suggestion compared to the original test. I think Java people have become numb to boilerplate, and that boilerplate takes a lot more forms than just static typing.
I guess it may not be clear, but the doctest code is in Python not Ruby. In Python we too tend to to take a more restrained view on what should be alterable. Compare the Django framework in Python, rather than Rails. On whether the amount to type is relevant then I think that the Javaa example given is verbose, but note that I am not saying that the least number of characters to do the job is necessarily the best either – you need a balance between readability and terseness too.
Why create a REPL for Java, when you can just use Jython + doctest? :)
Jython with a doctest did occur to me after I wrote this, but I think it’s a useful enough pattern that you should also be able to do it natively in any language. Of course Java programmers should learn Python ;) — but even if they don’t they still should have documentation-driven programming available to them.
As you correctly state, the example on the 2 minutes tutorial is a bit verbose. With a bit more magic you can get rid of the before method (
setup
) also. If you annotate thestack
field as the subject (the thing you’re “testing”), the framework can auto-create it, freeing you from some more infrastructure.There’s two things going on here, there’s the “test” method (the spec) and stuff that needs to happen before the spec method. By convention, initialisation of the subject happens in the before spec method; in fact, all configuration goes here. The second thing is that you make expectations of how you expect your code to behave, this is what’s done in the spec method.
The idea behind the expectation DSL is that it should read like how you would think or say it: “I expect that stack.isEmpty() is equalTo true”. True, it’s more typing than the equivalent
assertTrue(stack.isEmpty())
, but with this assertion style, you need to translate it in your head. It gets worse when you use theassertEquals(expected, actual)
syntax.Also, you don’t type much of this stuff, an IDE will auto-complete the matchers (
equalTo()
, etc.) based on the type of the thing you pass into thethat()
method. So booleans getequalTo
,notEqualTo
, etc., strings getmatchesRegex
,containsString
, etc. This is really nice in practice when you are creating the expectations.Actually, all you need to get this going is the following:
You then get a nice readable description of what the class should do: “An empty stack must be empty”:
Even in Java/C# land, how is:
expect.that(stack.isEmpty()).equalTo(true);
better than xUnit style:
Assert.isTrue(stack.isEmpty());
The “.equalTo(true)” kills some of the readability.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of BDD. My initial reaction was “this is laughably verbose”, but I decided to poke around and came across http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd , which did a good job of showing me the rationale behind BDD.
BDD seems to have three goals: 1) explain the purpose of TDD in a more intuitive way, 2) organize tests into narratives (a technique pioneered by doctest), and 3) make the tests/expectations more natural to write and read.
I agree that doctests do a better job with #3. Compare
with
On operator readability: I think Python already strikes a good balance between English and symbols. I want
a == b
, nota.isEqualTo(b)
, andt in s
, nots.containsString(t)
. Most languages seem to err on the side of too many symbols.Note that in a doctest every statement is an implicit assertEqual. So simply for brevity its really helpful in tests. Especially if you have some kind of simple wildcard matching on the output (this is a bit more awkward in Python’s doctest than it should be).
What the small examples don’t really point out is the balance between small and large tests. For small tests — like the example — you just want to do the test. You don’t need to enumerate every detail of what you test for a report. It should all go in “test stack-like operations”. If you do care about the details, then you should read the actual test code. Detail-oriented people should read details, and there’s no detail like code detail.
For larger tests about the behavior of a piece of code some narrative can be helpful to introduce the purpose for the test, what the test shows, and maybe boundary conditions or whatever else doesn’t fit into the test code itself. ItsHardToDoThatInMixedCase. It’s easy to do it in a paragraph of text. In a doctest test moving between code and commentary on the code is simple:
Excuse my simplistic version of Java, which just consists of me adding semicolons.
In a kind of minimalistic way, doctest is a DSL. I find it reads (and writes) very much like thinking, at least fairly low-level thinking about tests. I think high level stuff is just too divorced from runnable code to be easy to express in automated tests. At least I haven’t seen a successful example of that.
Of course, unlike BDD a doctest is just code. == is ==, it’s not
should.be
or whatever particular words you choose. But runnable expectations are code. You already have one language in the mix (whatever that language might be), why add another? Because some non-programmer can read it? I find that highly unlikely. Formal programs are formal, and that makes them hard. You can fuzz it up with lots of garbage words or other “friendly” syntax (ala [HyperTalk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTalk)), but history hasn’t shown that to be successful. You can’t hide the formal and disciplined nature of code.You can make it easier to code well, and you can lower the bar to entry. This is a valid goal of BDD, which attempts to do that for TDD. But good goals are just goals, they aren’t results.
From http://behaviour-driven.org/ is this descrpition behind the purpose of BDD: “It aims to help focus development on the delivery of prioritised, verifiable business value by providing a common vocabulary (also referred to as a UbiquitousLanguage) that spans the divide between Business and Technology.”
Which is to say the point of BDD is that your test suites can be read, understood and commented on by your non-technical clients. It is about focusing on requirements and functional testing first. One produces “executable requirements” the other produces “executable documentation”. Both doc testing and BDD have a focus on story-driven development, but doc testing is usually developer stories, while BDD is requirements stories.
Doc testing has that wonderful simplicity that makes it easy for developers not used to testing to easily get started writting tests. If I’m trying to write better software for a client or customer, I think BDD would be a good approach. It’s probably also useful if you are doing a thorough evaluation of software that you want to deploy as an application. If I’m wanting to consume someone else’s software as a developer, I’d much rather see an interfaces.py and a interfaces.txt to give me a high-level overview of the actual interfaces of the components in a package and a story of how those interfaces and implementations are intended to be used.
Another interesting article discussing BDD among other things:
http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/11/tdd-or-tdr
I must admit to being shamefully unaware of doctest, it looks interesting, but still quite low level. I’m not sure you could show the results to business type person, perhaps it’s just the examples that make it look this way though.
The syntax is also not quite as readable (IMO) as the equivalent BDD code, from the site, it looks to be more checking the return values after calling code than stating things about them. BDD examples are usually more flexible and descriptive than this. I think you can probably do the same thing in doctest as BDD, however a quick read from the site doesn’t show this.
It’s not quite true to say that BDD is just for non-technical clients. BDD is meant to provide readable specifications for whoever is the client of the code, that could be a non-technical person, or could be you. If it’s you as a developer, you’d want something that was less verbose and wordey, but still be readable.
Historically, there have been two “levels” for BDD, the story level for non-technical consumers and code level for technical consumers. These boundaries are now blurring, and frameworks such as RSpec have integrated these and allow you to use either depending on what you need at the time.
A doctest is a tool for testing that lends itself to telling stories. Those stories can be about the implementation, but they can also be about behavior/requirements.
The more I read, the more I think these
should_equal
/isEqualTo
methods have nothing to do with BDD. Symbols are used for things that come up so frequently that they are easier to read and write as symbols. Software isn’t difficult to understand because it uses a handful of funny-looking symbols instead of English: it’s difficult because it is extraordinarily detailed. The previously mentioned [UbiquitousLanguage](http://domaindrivendesign.org/discussion/messageboardarchive/UbiquitousLanguage.html), that [TDR article](http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/11/tdd-or-tdr), and the [BDD blog post](http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd) all advocate telling stories about high level concepts and working your way down from there. The high level can then be consumed by the business people.If we were writing a Python stack then you wouldn’t write the doctest:
It would be:
I find it difficult to believe Kevin Teague’s point (8.); that Business types who might find a doctest hard to read, might find a BDD test easier to understand.
Tom Adams (4.) Makes the point that “you don’t type much of this stuff, an IDE will auto-complete the matchers”. That point never sits well with me. If the computer can do this stuff then we should move towards not having to see it at all – its just noise. I moved from C because I was wasting too much time chasing pointers, and along came other languages that handled that for me.

Oh, another doctest introductory [link](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctest)
I think business people (or domain experts, or whatever kind of non-programmer) does best reading things when the text was written with that person as an intended reader (though not necessarily the only intended reader). These people don’t consume code, and that’s true in a doctest or a BDD test. In a BDD test they consume the report output, trusting that it accurately describes what is being tested. In a doctest they’ll skim over the code blocks and read the text.
In BDD, you embed this readable text in the names of your functions and classes, and in RSpec there are opportunities to use strings with arbitrary text (that look a little like docstrings). In no case does the computer interpret these strings, or confirm the programmer actually lived up to what they said they’d do. The only thing really consumable by non-programmers is the non-code text. So I see two things that we are attempting to accomplish: (a) provide a good space for narrative text about requirements, and (b) attach that to testing code so that the programmer can live up to those specifications, keep them in sync, and for the requirements document to be a useful and functional tool to help the programmer.
Doctests (at least the [tests that don't go in docstrings](http://python.org/doc/current/lib/doctest-simple-testfile.html)) really are editable by non-programmers — from their perspective the format is pretty trivial. I don’t think BDD systems like RSpec really are editable by non-programmers, as the text is embedded in the syntax of the language (which is pretty fragile); doctest embeds the code in the text.
[FITnesse](http://fitnesse.org/) is a more business-oriented (and less programmer-oriented) approach that is very close to doctest. I personally think its infrastructure is too complex and there’s too much indirection. The amount of test data that can usefully go in a table is fairly low in my experience. It’s high enough that I think it can still be useful, but not high enough to build an entire test framework on it. If I was writing doctests where tabular data was appropriate, I might just write a table reader that can be used by the doctest, driving the test off the data while keeping the all important code close to the functional specification as well. In Python this would unfortunately expose a flaw in doctest: the framework doesn’t expose enough to the tests. I’d like to provide hints about failures and what table data I was using, but there’s no way to do that. But doctest is old, and it really needs some more love. I would hope that new implementations would build in a few more features.
This has been a really good commentary so far, you guys have thought about these problems quite a bit, that’s quite refreshing to see, your take is more mature than mine.
In reply to Paddy3118, I wasn’t intending to imply by my IDE remark that the code becomes noise. One of the things Instinct (not BDD per se) aims to get rid of is noisy infrastructure. The point I was trying to make was that it is more verbose, but by using tools, the verboseness doesn’t add any extra cost in creation, and the benefits you get from the readability are worth it regardless (of whether it’s harder or easier to create).
In fact the Instinct expectation API is type-safe, making it easier to write these more verbose statements (the IDE leads you to the correct methods via the type) than their less verbose equivalents.
As always, there’s a tradeoff between verboseness and terseness. BDD aims at producing spec code that is readable, and in an argument between readability and terseness I’d take readability every time.
I don’t believe the Instinct expectation API is just noise, it’s been specifically crafted to minimise noise (in the eyes of its developers admittedly). The API aims at readability and accurately reflecting the intent of the author. So for example there are several ways to say a collection/list/array/string has a certain length, you pick the one that most accurately reflects your intent.
Picking on doctest again, the example given:
Is not as readable to me as the Instinct (or RSpec) equivalent. Perhaps that’s because I haven’t used python for 7 years or so, or perhaps because I like the ability to read the expectation aloud and have it make sense. “len stack 0″ doesn’t read as well to me as “expect that stack is of size 0″ or “stack should be empty” (as it would be in RSpec) though they both assert the same thing.
In the end it comes down to the audience and how much implicit conversion you do in your head between what’s written and what it means.
Perhaps some of the difference in opinion is due to the fact that, to a Python programmer, a console session feels very natural. That doctest has existed for a while also means there’s lots of examples of it, adding to the familiarity. It’s very difficult, for instance, to read
len(stack)
out loud (I find). Or even worse,if obj.get(key, default) == value:
— how do you read that? “if obj [uck, I can't even pronounce 'obj'] get key comma default equals value” ? I don’t know how to say it, but I can read it very naturally. It’s something I (and everyone here) learned to do. And that’s what makes us programmers ;) In the same way, doctest reads very naturally to me, even though I can’t read it out loud. All these things require some learning before they really sink in.Hi Tom, Ian. I am not so sure that having the needs of a non-specialist business manager as a primary goal is a good thing. Having a concise way to define tests; concise meaning clear, comprehensive, and short; from the domain specialists point of view; might be more productive.
I guess as an example I will switch to the design and verification of digital chips which is the field I am in. We have always had a written design spec that both the verification team and the design team interpret. lately we are using assertion languages such as [PSL](http://www.doulos.com/knowhow/psl/) to accurately and unambiguously define what the spec. says.
The spec may say: “Signal apply_power occurs after the breaks are released”.
Which in PSL becomes:
assert always {rose(apply_power)} |-> { ! brake_applied };
Which re-interpreted in English becomes something like: “Ensure that whenever the signal apply_power rises, the signal brake_applied is not high at that same time”
You can formally check the PSL against the design. You can simulate the design and ensure it does not contradict the assertion. Domain specialists can accurately reason about the specs interpretation using PSL. ( And pedants can flag the spelling mistakes :-)
Management has to either learn PSL, get someone they trust who can explain PSL to them, monitor the process of creating and using PSL, or probably do all of the above to be a good manager. The domain specialist works together with management so the process of PSL creation and monitoring ends up as accurate reports and graphs of progress but PSL and other assertion languages are optimised for the domain . It needs to be writeable and maintainable by the domain specialists.
To get back to programming, I think we should be going down a similar route; what is maintainable, precise, and readable for the programmer creating tests will create better software, and, I think, prove easier for the manager in the long run.
Hi Ian, Paddy3118,
So the question is, does making the mental translation between what you see and what you interpret it as affect your ability to understand the intent of what is being expressed? I agree with you, I can do the translation in my head quickly also (for the tools I’m used to working with), however I find a natural DSL type syntax to be easier to write (good tool support) and more readable than the equivalent. So I get a better process and a better result.
Having a non-specialist as a target audience makes sense for top level “is this done” and “does it do what I want” type of tests (acceptance/functional/story tests). I don’t think anyone is trying to dumb things down to a point where anyone can read and reason about code. We should strive to make it as simple and clear as possible, but clearly there will always be complexity and a barrier to entry. What we are trying to do is use the same language as what a non-specialist would use, so that they can at least get an idea of what we’re up to (is it what I asked for, etc.) as well as helping us to not have to translate between how we think of things and how they think of things, this is a recipe for disaster. If your code and your “tests” all use the same language as that of the domain, things become a lot simpler, leaving you to worry about other things.
I hate to say it, Ian, but this post is kind of cranky.
You picked an example spec with the greatest possible overhead-to-meaningful-code ratio: 9 lines of setup (much of which, like the import statements, is forced by Java), and only 3 lines of an actual spec (one of which is just an annotation saying that it is, in fact, a spec, so maybe that’s overhead, too).
What the framework gives you, like xUnit, is the ability to do some setup in the setUp() method, then share it among some other spec methods (test methods, in xUnit). It’s pretty rare that there’s only one spec method.
And only the code is shared: the actual instance (or whatever other context you set up) is different for each spec method, which helps keep one problem from kicking up a cloud of spurious follow-on problems to hide itself. I’m not sure how you’d go about that in doctest without writing the equivalent of a setUp() method and calling it repeatedly.
The motivations for BDD are to get people to do TDD right. That means ditching anachronistic test-related names that date from back when we thought this stuff was unit testing. It’s not: it’s design, and we should use words related to design instead. (If there’s one thing XP people agree on, it’s that names actually matter.)
Finally, I think you see a conflict between doctest and BDD. I don’t: doctest is a tool, BDD is an approach, and you could clearly use doctest to help you do BDD. (Of course, you could, instead, use it as after-the-fact unit tests, functional tests, executable documentation, and possibly a dessert/floor wax.)
Ian, Are you a decent of Frederick Bicking? I am working on my family tree and am looking for relatives from this line.
Frederick Bicking From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Frederick Bicking was born in Winterburg, a municipality in the district of Bad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany and came probably first to Philadelphia and then to East Brandywine Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, before the revolution.
In Pennsylvania he owned and operated a paper mill, establishing the Bicking paper dynasty that would last well into the 19th century. The Continental Congress allocated funds to purchase Bicking’s paper for currency production. He is mentioned in several of the minutes of the Continental Congress and in the George Washington Papers.

BDD is just new names for TDD. doctest is a fine framework for doing BDD. Maybe Instinct is too, but it kind of suffers from the method definition overhead; it’s less painful in Smalltalk, where the design of SUnit (that it apes) comes from. But that’s Java’s fault, not Instinct’s.

A demo of The Artist, featuring our current working concept of level one, should be available on itch.io before the holiday season! I'll post the link here as soon as it becomes available.
In The Artist, players take the role of an unknown artist who's trying to bring beauty back into the ruined world of this story-based platformer. They're given special brushes that have the power to alter the game world, allowing them to create solutions to the puzzles standing between them and a chance to heal this broken land. Each brush has a unique function that opens up new gameplay options; some levels have multiple paths to successful completion, while others have hidden features that can only be unlocked with the right tools. The fallen master of the world narrates the player's journey, constantly driving the story towards a confrontation that comes in the final level.
Working on this game provided me with a number of exciting firsts in my gamewriting career. For one, ever since playing Maddy Thorson's masterpiece Celeste, I'd always wanted to try writing for a story-based platformer myself. This isn't a case of direct inspiration; that game differs from The Artist in storytelling style, theme, and relationship to its genre. However, it did open my eyes to the potential of a platformer to tell stories, especially stories that seek to parallel the experience of platforming in some way. Additionally, this game provided me with my first chance to write spoken dialogue as part of the story. Despite the past decade's radical increase in the number of games that feature voice acting, I'd never gotten a chance to try my own hand at writing voice lines until now.
Needless to say, the process of experimenting with these conventions helped expand my perceptions of what a good game story can do even further. I greatly appreciated having the chance to fully apply my interest in metacommentary to the game world by posing an argument about the relationship between platformers (or even gaming as a whole) and the desire for perfection. Additionally, writing dialogue that's meant to be read by a performer instead of by the audience forced me to think critically about what I was writing in an entirely new way. Optimizing the structure of sentences became more important than ever before (in the interest of faciliating smooth delivery). This gave me a unique chance to apply some of my professional writing skills to a creative context. I also learned how much more work it can be to write something that sounds just as good spoken as it does read on the page.
I wrote the story and composed the score for this game. Anthony was the concept holder and lead designer, and also did quite a bit of programming, visual art, and story conceptualization. Ben was the lead artist. Wes programmed, designed, and handled the game's audio design. This game features narrated dialogue, with Anthony taking the part of the antagonist.

Description: This parallel coordinates chart loads Vital Vis JSON files and calculates a temporal histogram of all vital values for all cases. The time values are converted to minutes elaspsed since the time series began for each case. Temporal histogram bins are created for every elapsed minute and values are collected in the bins. The bin values are averaged to obtain one value for each bin. This creates a record for every elapsed minute of the procedures with a single value or null value for every vital. Each elapsed minute bin record is then plotted as a line in the parallel coordinate plot. If the maximum duration of all case files loaded is 300 minutes, you will see 300 lines in the parallel coordinate chart.
Loading Files: Either select files in your system file explorer and drag and drop on the 'Choose Files' button or click the 'Choose Files' button and select files from the system file dialog. Multiple files can be loaded. Select Lines: click and drag a range box on dimension axis (multiple selections on different dimensions are combined using Boolean AND operation) Extract Ages?: if checked, cases will be extracted adding an age dimension and producing more lines in the parallel coordinates chart. Remove Dimension: click on close 'X' button below dimension name Select Dimension: click on dimension name Unselect Dimension: click on selected dimension name Move Dimension: press and hold on dimension name and drag to new position Change Line Opacity: drag slider above Correlation Coefficient Indicators: shown below dimension axes when a dimension is selected (showing correlation with selected dimension) Selection Statistics: below the parallel coordinate chart a line shows the percent of all lines currently selected and a label conveys the select in a textual form

--- layout: post title: Copland post_id: 282 categories: - announcements date: 2004-04-11 07:37:00.000000000 -06:00 author: Jamis permalink: 2004/4/11/copland.html ---
I released Copland 0.3.0 “Canticle of Freedom” a few days ago. I’ve really enjoyed working on it, even if most of the Ruby community still hasn’t grasped why it’s a slick tool.
My next big task is to write “Chump Change”, my web-based personal financial package. It will be the real test of Copland’s feature set and stability (since I plan to use Copland to implement it). Once Chump Change is out the door, I’ll bump Copland’s version number to 1.0 and call it good. Hopefully, working on Chump Change will identify the weak areas in Copland.
I still have several tutorials to write for Copland as well, to document it’s features. I suppose those will have to be written before the 1.0 version bump as well.
So much to do, so little time.

To create a markdown changelog, first create a FastRelease
object, optionally passing a mapping from GitHub labels to markdown titles. Put your github token in a file named token
at the root of your repo. FastRelease
attempts to fetch values for arguments from the following locations if not supplied:
user
in settings.ini
. This is the owner name of the repository on GitHub. For example for the repo fastai/fastcore
the owner would be fastai
.lib_name
in settings.ini
. This is the name of the repository on GitHub. For example for the repo fastai/fastcore
the owner would be fastcore
.token
at the root of your repo. Creating a token is discussed in the setup section.label_groups
in settings.ini
, which is a JSON string. This is a mapping from label names to titles in your release notes. If not specified, this defaults to:{"breaking": "Breaking Changes", "enhancement":"New Features", "bug":"Bugs Squashed"}
rel = FastRelease()
All relevant pull requests and issues are fetched from the GitHub API, and are categorized according to a user-supplied mapping from labels to markdown headings.
This uses the version information from your settings.ini
.
test_eq(bump_version('0.1.1' ), '0.1.2')

And I am a tech-fanatic, code-addict and entrepreneur at heart.
I like making and breaking things, be it websites or apps, or even robots and high altitude balloons for that matter. But that's just half of me - the other half is a little different.
The other half of me reads The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal, enjoys solving business cases for fun and is thinking about trying his hands on trading.
Yes, very different two sides indeed. And I genuinely do not know how it works, but I am doing alright till now. Oh and yes, that is me staring at the computer screen to find the right trades to make in a virtual simulaton of an oil and gas company. Fun!

Asking the Right Questions


If I could ask them one question about
the Church’s Book of Mormon, Come Follow Me, Lesson 41
« Previous
Next »
For Oct 19-25, 2020
3 Nephi 27 - 4 Nephi
If I wanted to encourage thought and try to understand devout believers better, I might ask:
“Would it be better if I had not been born?”
Things to consider:
- “[W]hoso receiveth not the words of Jesus and the words of those whom he hath sent receiveth not him; and therefore he will not receive them at the last day; And it would be better for them if they had not been born” (3 Ne 28:34-35).
- In case you haven’t figured it out already, I reject the authority claims of the Mormon Church and its leaders. I reject pretty much all unique truth claims of the Mormon Church, so from a believing Mormon’s point of view, it would seem I receive not the word of Jesus or the word of those who he has sent. But I’m far from alone on this. I doubt many will quibble with the assertion that the vast majority of people do not receive the word of the Mormon Church. Those who receive this word are miniscule by comparison (see pie chart in my If I Could Ask … Lesson 40).
- So I’m left wondering just how horrible it’s going to be for me and almost everybody else. Fortunately, President Nelson gave a talk in the April 2019 conference entitled “Come, Follow Me.” Let’s see if it sheds light on his expectations about the horrific state almost all of us seem to be headed toward.
So, what is required for a family to be exalted forever? We qualify for that privilege by making covenants with God, keeping those covenants, and receiving essential ordinances.
- He’s teaching we’ll be without our families without following him (Jesus or President Nelson; it’s actually the same in this context (read 3 Ne 28:34-35 if you doubt it). For those of us who actually enjoy and love our family members, this would indeed be horrific.
The anguish of my heart is that many people whom I love, whom I admire, and whom I respect decline His invitation. They ignore the pleadings of Jesus Christ when He beckons, “Come, follow me.”
I understand why God weeps. I also weep for such friends and relatives. They are wonderful men and women, devoted to their family and civic responsibilities. They give generously of their time, energy, and resources. And the world is better for their efforts. But they have chosen not to make covenants with God. They have not received the ordinances that will exalt them with their families and bind them together forever.
- The Mormon Church is not unique in hope and belief that we can be with our beloved family members forever. However, it is at least somewhat unique in teaching that God will separate truly good people from their loved ones forever.
- Some have complained about President Nelson teaching that we better follow him now for our family’s sake because “Time is running out,” but it almost seems President Nelson sugar coated it compared to 3 Ne 28:34-35 teaching it would have been better had we never been born. The only other scriptural reference I can find declaring it would have been better had someone not been born is Jesus referencing Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed the Son of God (Matthew 26:24 and Mark 14:21.) It seems pretty grim for almost all of us to be in the same category as Judas, “the son of perdition” (John 17:12).
- I think an alternative question for this lesson could have been, “Do Mormons preach a gospel of hope or a gospel of fear?”
- As a devout believer are you, or would you have been, comfortable telling someone who does not receive the Jesus you profess that it would be better for them had they not been born?
- My closing thoughts on this:
Regardless of your religious belief, your life and dignity matter. Your life and dignity are important. You have so much good to share and experience that you cannot afford to listen to dogma that teaches otherwise. I hope the joy you experience in life, in spite of its ups and downs, is more than you can contain and inspires others around you to make their life wonderful too.
Other observations about this lesson’s reading:
- As President Nelson taught, the Book of Mormon also teaches the Church should be called after the name of Jesus, but Joseph and the Church officially dropped Jesus’ name from the Church for a while (3 Ne 27:8).
- The amazing flip-flopping Nephites … again (3 Ne 28:19-22, see also my If I Could Ask … Lesson 36 about the flip-flopping Nephites).
- References to lambs seem anachronistic (3 Ne 28:22 and 4 Ne 1:33, see also my If I Could Ask … Lesson 22 about Book of Mormon sheep).
- Non-believers are warned of their terrible state if they don’t believe in spiritual gifts. I observe that even most Mormons these days do not believe in these gifts as described in the early 19th century Church or in the Bible (3 Ne 29:6-7).
- I think the condemnation of priestcrafts should have some in the Church worried (3 Ne 30:2).
- The fruit of Book of Mormon disciples seems amazing compared to modern prophets (4 Ne 1:5, 30-33, see also my If I Could Ask … Lesson 24 about amazingly bold prophecies of Book of Mormon prophets).
- Nephi gets way verbose (4 Ne 1:6, see also my If I Could Ask … Lesson 19 about the wordiness of the Book of Mormon).
- The prosperity gospel is preached again (4 Ne 1:23).
If you could ask believers questions about the scriptures for this lesson, what would you ask?
Have fun studying!
