Module refinery.lib.argformats

Multibin Syntax

Many refinery units receive arguments which represent binary data, and usually these arguments can be given in multibin format, which is a special syntax which allows to preprocess data with a number of handlers. For example, the multibin expression md5:password preprocesses the argument password (which is understood as its UTF8 encoding by default) using the md5 handler, which returns the MD5 hash of the input data. Consequently, the output of

emit md5:password | hex -R

would be the string 5F4DCC3B5AA765D61D8327DEB882CF99. The most important basic handlers to know are:

  • s:string disables all further preprocessing and interprets string as an UTF8 encoded string
  • u:string same, but as an UTF16-LE encoded string
  • h:string assumes that string is a hexadecimal string and returns the decoded byte sequence.
  • any unit's name can be prefixed to the string, i.e. esc:\n corresponds to the line break character.

If a multibin argument does not use any handler, refinery first interprets the string as the path of an existing file on disk and attempts to return the contents of this file. If this fails, the UTF8 encoding of the string is returned.

The handlers copy and cut as well as their shortcuts c and x are final handlers like the above example s, i.e. the string that follows copy: will not be interpreted as a multibin expression. Indeed, copy and cut expect the remaining string to be in Python slice syntax. The expression copy:0:1 would, for example, represent the first byte of the input data. With copy, this data is copied out of the input and used for the argument. With cut, this data is removed from the input data and used for the argument. All cut operations are performed in the order in which the arguments are specified on the command line. For example:

emit 1234 | cca x::1 x::1

will output the string 3412.

The modifiers s, u, h, copy (or c), and cut (or x) along with using unit modifiers should cover most use cases. To learn about other existing modifiers, refer to the rest of this documentation.

Arguments For Handlers

Neither DelayedArgument.s(), DelayedArgument.u(), nor DelayedArgument.h() require any additional arguments except for the input string that they are applied to. However, if a refinery unit is used as a handler, there is an option to add arguments to the handler that will be passed to the unit as command-line arguments. For example, the following will output the hexadecimal text representation of the MD5 hash of the string "password":

emit md5[-t]:password

Inside the square brackets that follow the handler name, arguments are separated by commas. This also means that arguments passed to handlers in this way cannot contain any commas. There is no escape sequence, but it is possible to use nested multibin expressions to work around this. For example, the multibin expression q:1%2c2%2c3 corresponds to the string 1,2,3 and the output of the following command will be 2,4,5:

emit repl[q:1%2c2%2c3,2]:1,2,3,4,5

The first argument to the repl unit is the multibin argument q:1%2c2%2c3, which uses the DelayedArgument.q() handler to return 1,2,3. The second argument to this unit-based handler is 2, separated from the previous one by a comma. Hence, repl will replace all occurrences of 1,2,3 in the input with just 2.

Some of the more complex non-unit handlers also have optional arguments.

Technical Details

This module implements all argument parser types for the binary refinery. Notable classes for the command line use are the following:

All of the above classes inherit from DelayedArgument. The following mainly applies to DelayedBinaryArgument, but the other two parsers work similar. The classes implement the various modifiers which are available to multibin expressions.

The reason why these parsers have "delayed" in their name is that they allow the implementation of handlers which require input data to be present, like the handlers copy and cut, which are implemented in DelayedArgument.copy() and DelayedArgument.cut(), respectively. These expressions can not be evaluated immediately after the command line is parsed, but only as soon as input data becomes available for processing.

As explained above, each refinery unit defines a (non-final) modifier. The expression b64:Zm9v, for example, corresponds to the binary string foo - the unit b64 is used to decode the string Zm9v to foo. Arguments can be passed to units in square brackets and separated by commas, but there is no support for escaping comma characters (see the previous section for more details).

Examples

  1. The multibin expression xor[0xAA]:b64:2c/J2M/e will return the binary string secret; the string 2c/J2M/e is base64-decoded using b64 and then each byte is xor'ed with the key 0xAA by the unit xor.
  2. The expression hex[-R]:sha256:read:foobar.txt is the hexadecimal representation of the SHA256 hash of the contents of the file foobar.txt on disk.

## Multibin Syntax

Many refinery units receive arguments which represent binary data, and usually these arguments can
be given in **multibin** format, which is a special syntax which allows to preprocess data with a
number of **handlers**. For example, the multibin expression `md5:password` preprocesses the
argument `password` (which is understood as its UTF8 encoding by default) using the `md5` handler,
which returns the MD5 hash of the input data. Consequently, the output of

    emit md5:password | hex -R

would be the string `5F4DCC3B5AA765D61D8327DEB882CF99`. The most important basic handlers to know
are:

- `s:string` disables all further preprocessing and interprets `string` as an UTF8 encoded string
- `u:string` same, but as an UTF16-LE encoded string
- `h:string` assumes that `string` is a hexadecimal string and returns the decoded byte sequence.
- any unit's name can be prefixed to the string, i.e. `esc:\\n` corresponds to the line break character.

If a multibin argument does not use any handler, refinery first interprets the string as the path
of an existing file on disk and attempts to return the contents of this file. If this fails, the
UTF8 encoding of the string is returned.

The handlers `copy` and `cut` as well as their shortcuts `c` and `x` are **final** handlers like
the above example `s`, i.e. the string that follows `copy:` will not be interpreted as a multibin
expression. Indeed, `copy` and `cut` expect the remaining string to be in Python slice syntax. The
expression `copy:0:1` would, for example, represent the first byte of the input data. With `copy`,
this data is copied out of the input and used for the argument. With `cut`, this data is removed
from the input data and used for the argument. All `cut` operations are performed in the order in
which the arguments are specified on the command line. For example:
```
emit 1234 | cca x::1 x::1
```
will output the string `3412`.

The modifiers `s`, `u`, `h`, `copy` (or `c`), and `cut` (or `x`) along with using unit modifiers
should cover most use cases. To learn about other existing modifiers, refer to the rest of this
documentation.

## Arguments For Handlers

Neither `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedArgument.s`, `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedArgument.u`,
nor `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedArgument.h` require any additional arguments except for the
input string that they are applied to. However, if a refinery unit is used as a handler, there is
an option to add arguments to the handler that will be passed to the unit as command-line
arguments. For example, the following will output the hexadecimal text representation of the MD5
hash of the string "password":

    emit md5[-t]:password

Inside the square brackets that follow the handler name, arguments are separated by commas. This
also means that arguments passed to handlers in this way cannot contain any commas. There is no
escape sequence, but it is possible to use nested multibin expressions to work around this. For
example, the multibin expression `q:1%2c2%2c3` corresponds to the string `1,2,3` and the output
of the following command will be `2,4,5`:

    emit repl[q:1%2c2%2c3,2]:1,2,3,4,5

The first argument to the `refinery.repl` unit is the multibin argument `q:1%2c2%2c3`, which uses
the `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedArgument.q` handler to return `1,2,3`. The second argument to
this unit-based handler is `2`, separated from the previous one by a comma. Hence, `refinery.repl`
will replace all occurrences of `1,2,3` in the input with just `2`.

Some of the more complex non-unit handlers also have optional arguments.

## Technical Details

This module implements all argument parser types for the binary refinery. Notable classes for the
command line use are the following:

- `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedBinaryArgument` (used almost everywhere)
- `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedNumSeqArgument` (used by children of `refinery.units.blockwise.ArithmeticUnit`)
- `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedRegexpArgument` (used by `refinery.rex`, `refinery.resub`)

All of the above classes inherit from `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedArgument`. The following
mainly applies to `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedBinaryArgument`, but the other two parsers work
similar. The classes implement the various modifiers which are available to multibin expressions.

The reason why these parsers have **"delayed"** in their name is that they allow the implementation
of handlers which require input data to be present, like the handlers `copy` and `cut`, which are
implemented in `refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedBinaryArgument.copy` and
`refinery.lib.argformats.DelayedBinaryArgument.cut`, respectively. These expressions can not be
evaluated immediately after the command line is parsed, but only as soon as input data becomes
available for processing.

As explained above, each refinery unit defines a (non-final) modifier. The expression `b64:Zm9v`,
for example, corresponds to the binary string `foo` - the unit `refinery.b64` is used to decode the
string `Zm9v` to `foo`. Arguments can be passed to units in square brackets and separated by commas,
but there is no support for escaping comma characters (see the previous section for more details).

## Examples

1. The multibin expression `xor[0xAA]:b64:2c/J2M/e` will return the binary string `secret`; the
   string `2c/J2M/e` is base64-decoded using `refinery.b64` and then each byte is xor'ed with the
   key `0xAA` by the unit `refinery.xor`.
2. The expression `hex[-R]:sha256:read:foobar.txt` is the hexadecimal representation of the SHA256
   hash of the contents of the file `foobar.txt` on disk.

        sequence maintaining an internal state `A`: The initial value for `A` is `seed`. Each subsequent state is
        the result of evaluating the `update` expression, which can use the variable `A` to access the current
        state. The next integer value to be generated is the result of evaluating the expression `feed`, which
        may again use the variable `A` to access the internal state. If the `feed` expression is omitted, the
        complete state `A` is emitted in each step. The value of `skip` specifies the number of elements from the
        beginning of the sequence that should be skipped. The value of `precision` specifies the number of bits
        that are used by the internal state variable `A`. You can specify `precision` to be zero if you want the
        result to be an unbounded big integer.

        beginning of the sequence that should be skipped. The value of `precision` specifies the number of bits
