kandi X-RAY | nondescript Summary

nondescript is a Python library. nondescript has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However nondescript build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Abstract: A person’s writing style is uniquely quantifiable and can serve reliably as a biometric. A writer who wishes to remain anonymous can use a number of privacy technologies but can still be identified simply by the words they choose to use — how often they use the words "of" and "and," for instance. Nondescript is a web tool designed first to identify the user’s writing style (in terms of word frequency) from a given writing sample and message, then guide the author to make iterative changes to their message to lessen its probability of being attributed to them. While Nondescript does not guarantee anonymity, the web tool provides a user with an iterative interface to revise their writing and see results of a simulated authorship attribution scenario. Nondescript also provides a synonym-replacement feature, which significantly lowers the probability that a document will be attributed to the original author. More info: Nondescript uses Flask to generate the web interface. Input your writing sample and the message you wish to anonymize. Every time you run Nondescript, it randomly chooses 7 authors from a given background corpus to compare your writing to. This can take up to 60 seconds. (What's it doing during this time? In machine learning terms, every time you run Nondescript, it trains a Naive Bayes classifier on your sample and some writing by the 7 random authors, then runs the trained classifier on your message and other writings from the 7 random authors.) On the next page, you'll see if Nondescript was able to correctly attribute your message to you, or if you were able to confuse it into thinking it was written by someone else. At the bottom of the page, you'll have another chance to revise your message. You may get a different result every time you use Nondescript, even if you don't change your message. That's because this is a simulation of de-anonymization. In a real scenario, you may not know whose writing your anonymous message is being compared to. Moreover, you can run Nondescript multiple times as a way of cross-validating the results of the final revision of your message. Future work on this project will include a dedicated interactive public website that runs Nondescript.

            Use springdoc in Spring MVC project with custom message converters
            Asked 2020-Dec-16 at 10:58

            Adding springdoc to an existing Spring MVC REST API project causes problems with custom message converters. The project configures custom message converters to set the date output to a specific format and to remove fields that contain null. This is done using a @Configuration annotated class that extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport which overrides the configureMessageConverters and adds a custom converter as well as the default converters (addDefaultHttpMessageConverters).

            To add springdoc (version 1.5.1) to the project I've followed the instructions here, with the minor change of registering org.springdoc.webmvc.ui.SwaggerConfig.class instead of the listed org.springdoc.ui.SwaggerConfig.class because the latter doesn't exist. This requires adding the @EnableWebMvc annotation, which in turn requires implementing WebMvcConfigurer instead of extending WebMvcConfigurationSupport. By using WebMvcConfigurer I can't add the default converters, by using only the custom converter the springdoc JSON is escaped and therefor not valid. If the @EnableWebMvc annotation isn't added the swagger-ui.html page is not available.

            I want to either use @EnableWebMvc, implementing WebMvcConfigurer and using the custom converter but prevent escaping of the springdoc JSON by adding the default converters somehow or through some other way. Or I want to use the 'old' configuration, so extending WebMvcConfigurationSupport and not add the @EnableWebMvc annotation but somehow make the swagger-ui.html page reachable.

            How can I achieve either of these options?

            Edit 1

            The configuration class has been annotated using @EnableWebMvc and implements WebMvcConfigurer, this way the swagger-ui.html page can be reached. The converters are customized using the following method:

            AWS API Gateway messing up response: { "message": "Internal server error" }
            Asked 2020-Jun-25 at 20:12

            There's a lot of questions out there pertaining to "lambda" but I haven't touched that in my life, so it probably isn't relevant to this question.

            All I've done so far is import a swagger json spec into AWS API Gateway and try my best to configure it to connect to my REST api.

            My issue here is that when I try calling the API gateway endpoint through the test console, everything works as expected.

            But then why I try querying the same endpoint from outside AWS like any end user, I get this nondescript 500 response.

            The nifty thing is that since I own the backend service, I can see the logging, which clearly indicates that a successful 200 response was returned (which should be the json response shown in the first screenshot).

            So now I know that it's AWS's fault that I'm getting a 500. But I'm honestly not sure what the issue could be.

            Here are all relevant configuration screens for this particular endpoint.

            Method Request

            Integration Request

            Integration Response

            Method Response

            If there's any screen/setting I didn't provide that would be helpful, just let me know.

            TLDR, api gateway endpoint works in online console ui, but not in real life ...

            I follows @MarkB's advice and linked API Gateway to an IAM role with permissions to write to Cloudwatch and then here's the kicker: you have to redeploy the stage to jumpstart Cloudwatch (this is actually very poorly documented, aws).

            And when I found out that I had to redeploy the gateway, that's when I also conveniently discovered that for any of the configuration changes I was making to be applied, I actually had to redeploy the entire thing.

            So after redeploying, everything started to work.

            Fetch / Axios crashing hard in React Native (but only for certain URLs)

            My app is crashing hard when doing certain API calls, and I narrowed it down to this point:

            • it's not an HTTP vs HTTPS thing
            • I eventually used two different mock APIs, and to my suprise, one worked, the other didn't. Both are basically the same, see snippet below
            • same behavior on both WIFI or cellular network
            • same issue in axios instead of fetch
            • the catch block is invoked with a nondescript network error, but then the app still crashes hard

            Environment: Android 10 (actual device), RN 0.61.5

            Both calls below just do a simple HTTP GET which results in a JSON snippet being returned. One works, the other causes a hard crash.

            URI getRawQuery vs getQuery
            Asked 2019-Nov-11 at 15:23

            I think that using getQuery loses information, is dangerous and that instead only getRawQuery should be used, and that any query parameter values that are known to be encoded should be manually decoded (once the raw query is split on the & characters) with URLDecoder.

            Case in point: Assume you have the URL www.example.com with two query parameters:

            • a parameter url with value =www.otherexample.com?b=2&c=3
            • a nondescript parameter d with value 4.

            The parameter url should be url-encoded, so the URI that your application sees is:

            www.example.com?url=www%2Eotherexample%2Ecom%3Fb%3D2%26c%3D3&d=4

            Now, if you obtain the query part with getQuery, you get the following:

            url=www.otherexample.com?b=2&c=3&d=4

            Notice that you've already lost information as you can't say whether d is a query parameter of the www.example.com or of www.otherexample.com.

            If instead you obtain the query part with getRawQuery, you get the following:

            url=www%2Eotherexample%2Ecom%3Fb%3D2%26c%3D3&d=4

            This time, no information is lost and all's well. You can parse the query part and URL-decode the value of the url parameter if you like.

            Am I missing anything ?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2019-Nov-11 at 15:23

            You're correct. URI.getQuery() is broken and you shouldn't use it.

            Strange thing is I can't find any confirmation of this apart from your post, which made me think maybe URI.getQuery could be useful for something. But after some testing of my own I'm pretty sure it just shouldn't be used unless your application's query string doesn't follow the convention of separating arguments with ampersand.

            EDIT 11/11/2019

            As pointed out in a comment below, while you can use URI.getRawQuery() to work around the broken URI.getQuery() method, you can't just use the raw query as the query argument to the multi-argument URI constructor, as that constructor is also broken.

            You can't use the multi-argument URI constructor if any of the query string arguments contain an ampersand. You could argue this is a bug, but the documentation of the expected behaviour contradicts itself so it's not clear which behaviour is correct. The javadoc of the multi-argument constructor says "Any character that is not a legal URI character is quoted". This implies that an escaped octet should NOT be quoted because the main class documentation includes it as a legal character ("The set of all legal URI characters consists of the unreserved, reserved, escaped, and other characters"). But further down, it documents the observed behaviour that the percent character ('%') is always quoted by the multi-argument constructors, which one assumes is without regard for whether it's part of an escaped octet.

            Regardless of whether there is ever any acknowledgement that the documentation is contradictory, or what the correct behaviour should be, it is almost certain the current behaviour will never be altered. The only work-around is not to use the multi-argument constructors if you need the URI to end up containing the quoted ampersand octet "%26". Use the single-argument constructor instead, after doing your own encoding and quoting of special characters.
