QUESTION
I am parsing the dates of my dataset, but am encountering a lot of ParserError
because the hours are often in the wrong format. I've decided to skip the hours and only focus on Years, Months, Days
These are the variants I have for date:
| Startdate |
| --- |
| March 23, 2022 6:00 |
| March 23, 2022 7:0 |
| March 23, 2022 7: |
| March 23, 2022 7 |
For now, only the first date/row works for parsing data. I currently skip the other rows, however I would want to also include them by just excluding the hours.
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-28 at 15:05I guess you can just dump the hour part
QUESTION
In Python, I want to both (a) use the str.format method to print strings with a fixed width and (b) use yachalk/chalk (see also this answer) to color the output sent to the terminal.
When I use str.format without yachalk, I successfully achieve the fixed-width output. However, when I add yachalk to the mix, I get the colored output I seek, but the strings all run together, ignoring the fixed-width formatting.
Here's my test-case code, followed by screenshot of the terminal output.
Am I doing something wrong? Is yachalk incompatible with str.format?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-23 at 17:58Problem solved. Even though I couldn't apply str.format
method to the output of yachalk
, I could apply the str.format
method first and then apply yachalk

QUESTION
From various sources, I have come to the understanding that there are four main techniques of string formatting/interpolation in Python 3 (3.6+ for f-strings):
- Formatting with
%
, which is similar to C'sprintf
- The
str.format()
method - Formatted string literals/f-strings
- Template strings from the standard library
string
module
My knowledge of usage mainly comes from Python String Formatting Best Practices (source A):
str.format()
was created as a better alternative to the%
-style, so the latter is now obsolete- However,
str.format()
is vulnerable to attacks if user-given format strings are not properly handled
- However,
- f-strings allow
str.format()
-like behavior only for string literals but are shorter to write and are actually somewhat-optimized syntactic sugar for concatenation - Template strings are safer than
str.format()
(demonstrated in the first source) and the other two methods (implied in the first source) when dealing with user input
I understand that the aforementioned vulnerability in str.format()
comes from the method being usable on any normal strings where the delimiting braces are part of the string data itself. Malicious user input containing brace-delimited replacement fields can be supplied to the method to access environment attributes. I believe this is unlike the other ways of formatting where the programmer is the only one that can supply variables to the pre-formatted string. For example, f-strings have similar syntax to str.format()
but, because f-strings are literals and the inserted values are evaluated separately through concatenation-like behavior, they are not vulnerable to the same attack (source B). Both %
-formatting and Template strings also seem to only be supplied variables for substitution by the programmer; the main difference pointed out is Template's more limited functionality.
I have seen a lot of emphasis on the vulnerability of str.format()
which leaves me with questions of what I should be wary of when using the other techniques. Source A describes Template strings as the safest of the above methods "due to their reduced complexity":
The more complex formatting mini-languages of the other string formatting techniques might introduce security vulnerabilities to your programs.
- Yes, it seems like f-strings are not vulnerable in the same way
str.format()
is, but are there known concerns about f-string security as is implied by source A? Is the concern more like risk mitigation for unknown exploits and unintended interactions?
I am not familiar with C and I don't plan on using the clunkier %
/printf
-style formatting, but I have heard that C's printf
had its own potential vulnerabilities. In addition, both sources A and B seem to imply a lack of security with this method. The top answer in Source B says,
String formatting may be dangerous when a format string depends on untrusted data. So, when using str.format() or %-formatting, it's important to use static format strings, or to sanitize untrusted parts before applying the formatter function.
- Do
%
-style strings have known security concerns? - Lastly, which methods should be used and how can user input-based attacks be prevented (e.g. filtering input with regex)?
- More specifically, are Template strings really the safer option? and Can f-strings be used just as easily and safely while granting more functionality?
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-18 at 12:53It doesn't matter which format you choose, any format and library can have its own downsides and vulnerabilities. The bigger questions you need to ask yourself is what is the risk factor and the scenario you are facing with, and what are you going to do about it. First ask yourself: will there be a scenario where a user or an external entity of some kind (for example - an external system) sends you a format string? If the answer is no, there is no risk. If the answer is yes, you need to see whether this is needed or not. If not - remove it to eliminate the risk. If you need it - you can perform whitelist-based input validation and exclude all format-specific special characters from the list of permitted characters, in order to eliminate the risk. For example, no format string can pass the ^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]*$ generic regular expression.
So the bottom line is: it doesn't matter which format string type you use, what's really important is what do you do with it and how can you reduce and eliminate the risk of it being tampered.

QUESTION
Starting with a string variable containing a Security Descriptor String Format, I convert this string to a security descriptor (using ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW function).
This function gives me a "pointer" to a Security Descriptor (I put the pointer under quotation mark relative to this blog post).
Next, I recover a pointer to the DACL of the pointed Security Descriptor using GetSecurityDescriptorDacl function. From this DACL, I store all the ACEs into a vector of pointers to ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE structures. Finally in these structures, there is my targeted member (SidStart) that I want to use to get a "translation" of the SID (for example with Well-Known SIDs, I want to translate "S-1-1-0" to a final user readable string like "Everyone").
However, SidStart only gives the first DWORD of a trustee's SID. The remaining bytes of the SID are stored in contiguous memory after the SidStart member (as documentation said). Despite my researches over the Internet, I can't figure it out to get theses remaining bytes.
Here is a minimum reproducible example in a C++ Console App:

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-17 at 17:41Check what modules are included in your runtime image.
For example when I run java --list-modules
on JDK 17 I notice this module:
jdk.localedata
I don't know if it is required for this, but I bet that module isn't being included by jpackage unless it is specifically requested.
Run ./app/build/jpackage/app/lib/runtime/bin/java --list-modules
and compare with ~/.gradle/jdks/jdk-17+35/bin/java --list-modules
to confirm. Then consider making an image with jlink
that includes jdk.localedata
if it was missing to test this hypothesis.

Install string-format
You can use string-format like any standard Java library. Please include the the jar files in your classpath. You can also use any IDE and you can run and debug the string-format component as you would do with any other Java program. Best practice is to use a build tool that supports dependency management such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven installation, please refer maven.apache.org. For Gradle installation, please refer gradle.org .
