pwnlib.util.misc.register_sizes(regs, in_sizes)

Create dictionaries over register sizes and relations

Given a list of lists of overlapping register names (e.g. [‘eax’,’ax’,’al’,’ah’]) and a list of input sizes, it returns the following:

• all_regs : list of all valid registers
• sizes[reg] : the size of reg in bits
• bigger[reg] : list of overlapping registers bigger than reg
• smaller[reg]: list of overlapping registers smaller than reg

Used in i386/AMD64 shellcode, e.g. the mov-shellcode.

Example

>>> regs = [['eax', 'ax', 'al', 'ah'],['ebx', 'bx', 'bl', 'bh'],
... ['ecx', 'cx', 'cl', 'ch'],
... ['edx', 'dx', 'dl', 'dh'],
... ['edi', 'di'],
... ['esi', 'si'],
... ['ebp', 'bp'],
... ['esp', 'sp'],
... ]
>>> all_regs, sizes, bigger, smaller = register_sizes(regs, [32, 16, 8, 8])
>>> all_regs
['eax', 'ax', 'al', 'ah', 'ebx', 'bx', 'bl', 'bh', 'ecx', 'cx', 'cl', 'ch', 'edx', 'dx', 'dl', 'dh', 'edi', 'di', 'esi', 'si', 'ebp', 'bp', 'esp', 'sp']
>>> sizes
{'ch': 8, 'cl': 8, 'ah': 8, 'edi': 32, 'al': 8, 'cx': 16, 'ebp': 32, 'ax': 16, 'edx': 32, 'ebx': 32, 'esp': 32, 'esi': 32, 'dl': 8, 'dh': 8, 'di': 16, 'bl': 8, 'bh': 8, 'eax': 32, 'bp': 16, 'dx': 16, 'bx': 16, 'ecx': 32, 'sp': 16, 'si': 16}
>>> bigger
{'ch': ['ecx', 'cx', 'ch'], 'cl': ['ecx', 'cx', 'cl'], 'ah': ['eax', 'ax', 'ah'], 'edi': ['edi'], 'al': ['eax', 'ax', 'al'], 'cx': ['ecx', 'cx'], 'ebp': ['ebp'], 'ax': ['eax', 'ax'], 'edx': ['edx'], 'ebx': ['ebx'], 'esp': ['esp'], 'esi': ['esi'], 'dl': ['edx', 'dx', 'dl'], 'dh': ['edx', 'dx', 'dh'], 'di': ['edi', 'di'], 'bl': ['ebx', 'bx', 'bl'], 'bh': ['ebx', 'bx', 'bh'], 'eax': ['eax'], 'bp': ['ebp', 'bp'], 'dx': ['edx', 'dx'], 'bx': ['ebx', 'bx'], 'ecx': ['ecx'], 'sp': ['esp', 'sp'], 'si': ['esi', 'si']}
>>> smaller
{'ch': [], 'cl': [], 'ah': [], 'edi': ['di'], 'al': [], 'cx': ['cl', 'ch'], 'ebp': ['bp'], 'ax': ['al', 'ah'], 'edx': ['dx', 'dl', 'dh'], 'ebx': ['bx', 'bl', 'bh'], 'esp': ['sp'], 'esi': ['si'], 'dl': [], 'dh': [], 'di': [], 'bl': [], 'bh': [], 'eax': ['ax', 'al', 'ah'], 'bp': [], 'dx': ['dl', 'dh'], 'bx': ['bl', 'bh'], 'ecx': ['cx', 'cl', 'ch'], 'sp': [], 'si': []}

pwnlib.util.misc.run_in_new_terminal(command, terminal = None) → None

Run a command in a new terminal.

When terminal is not set:

• If context.terminal is set it will be used. If it is an iterable then context.terminal[1:] are default arguments.
• If a pwntools-terminal command exists in $PATH, it is used
• If $TERM_PROGRAM is set, that is used.
• If X11 is detected (by the presence of the $DISPLAY environment variable), x-terminal-emulator is used.
• If tmux is detected (by the presence of the $TMUX environment variable), a new pane will be opened.
• If GNU Screen is detected (by the presence of the $STY environment variable), a new screen will be opened.

Parameters:

• command (str) – The command to run.
• terminal (str) – Which terminal to use.
• args (list) – Arguments to pass to the terminal

Note

The command is opened with /dev/null for stdin, stdout, stderr.

Returns:PID of the new terminal process

pwnlib.util.misc.size(n, abbrev = 'B', si = False) → str

Convert the length of a bytestream to human readable form.

Parameters:

• n (int,iterable) – The length to convert to human readable form, or an object which can have len() called on it.
• abbrev (str) – String appended to the size, defaults to 'B'.

Example

>>> size(451)
'451B'
>>> size(1000)
'1000B'
>>> size(1024)
'1.00KB'
>>> size(1024, ' bytes')
'1.00K bytes'
>>> size(1024, si = True)
'1.02KB'
>>> [size(1024 ** n) for n in range(7)]
['1B', '1.00KB', '1.00MB', '1.00GB', '1.00TB', '1.00PB', '1024.00PB']
>>> size([])
'0B'
>>> size([1,2,3])
'3B'

pwnlib.util.misc.which(name, flags = os.X_OK, all = False) → str or str set

Works as the system command which; searches $PATH for name and returns a full path if found.

If all is True the set of all found locations is returned, else the first occurence or None is returned.

Parameters:

• name (str) – The file to search for.
• all (bool) – Whether to return all locations where name was found.

Returns:

If all is True the set of all locations where name was found, else the first location or None if not found.

Example

>>> which('sh')
'/bin/sh'

pwnlib.util.misc.write(path, data='', create_dir=False, mode='w')

Create new file or truncate existing to zero length and write data.
