If you want the turtle to move in key hold use onkeypress(). Also, note that using a while loop is not necessary.

QUESTION

How does IPC::System::Simple capturex work?

Asked 2020-Apr-16 at 13:31

The documentation of capurex, states that the function never invokes the shell.

My assumption: Since no shell is invoked, characters like * or ; will not get interpreted and therefore can't do harm. This is why calls to external programs are not (or less) susceptible to accidentally malformed input or intended injection attacks as shown in the example below (sorry for the German output messages):

...

The best way to get informed about how capturex operates is by looking at its source.

The sub implements its own piped open in "list-form", to work around the (ancient!) v5.6.x limitations. It does so by fork-ing a process using piped open and then "manually" exec-ing the command in the child, where it can use the list-form. Then the output is read in the parent. Follow the word "pipe" in the open page, and then the link to perlipc.

So there can be no shell involved since exec in the LIST form uses execvp(3) system call to directly run the command. (What may happen when it runs with a single argument as well, if it contains no shell meta-charactes.) Thus the characters that have a special meaning in the shell may be used freely as literal characters in the command.

As for the second question -- if a command is formed with user-input it must always be checked really carefully! Note that one shouldn't literally use input in a command, but rather support keywords and parameters based on which the program composes the command. Avoiding the shell of course helps but any user input must be checked.

The injection bug is more of a programming error, whereby variable interpolation isn't used right and results in an unintended command; there is no need for malicious acts there, just for the "right" input that exposes the bug.

QUESTION

Haskell: arrows on trees, XML, and Hxt: Transform text leaves into subtrees

Asked 2020-Jan-23 at 01:28

Background

The Freeplane app seems to have died its decades-long death. I'm extracting my data from it. Freeplane stores data as XML. One of the first steps I'm taking is to homogenize that format.

Question, and what I wanted to do

My goal is to turn every XText item in an .xml-formatted file into an XTag called "node" with an attribute called "TEXT". I've got it done, but in a manner that seems inelegant.

I wanted to do this:

Arrow doesn't have do notation, but it does have something similar, called proc notation or Arrow syntax. See, in particular, this question on the relation between these two notations. With this, you can write in a similar style to what you wanted to do:

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install runx

Install an X server, VcXsrv or XWin.
Copy runx into folder /usr/local/bin and make it executeable with chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runx.
Install dependency xauth.
runx needs an X server. Install on MS Windows one or both of:. runx will automatically use XWin if available. You can specify the desired X server with options --xwin or --vcxsrv.
VcXsrv to provide X server VcXsrv. Easier to install than XWin.
Cygwin with packages xinit and xauth. This provides X server XWin for Cygwin and WSL. XWin has a better --gpu support than VcXsrv.
Run the following commands in WSL/Ubuntu terminal to install runx and its dependencies: sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/runx/master/runx -O /usr/local/bin/runx sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runx sudo apt update sudo apt install xauth
Run the Cygwin installer and install packages xinit, xauth and wget.
In Cygwin terminal run the commands: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/runx/master/runx -O /usr/local/bin/runx chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runx
In MSYS2 terminal run the commands: mkdir /usr/local/bin wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/runx/master/runx -O /usr/local/bin/runx chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runx
Constraints in MSYS2: MSYS2 does not provide xauth to create authentication cookies to restrict access to the X server. For that reason, using runix in MSYS2 is possible, but discouraged. You need option --no-auth. In MSYS2 runx only supports X server VcXsrv, but not XWin.
