00:37:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Use strscans and no longer use regex again
00:41:43FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @gogolxdong666 "Hi guys , how": Look at `std/strformat` and `std/re`
00:42:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Really robyn?
00:42:47FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Yeah
00:42:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Are you going to encourage `"([0-9]+)-(0[1-9]|1[012])-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[Tt]([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]|60)(\\.[0-9]+)?(([Zz])|([\\+|\\-]([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]))"`'s continued existence?
00:43:05FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Idk how strscans work personally 🤷‍♀️
00:43:19FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Are you going to": Beef, you've seen my code before
00:43:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That belongs behind the shed next to old yeller
00:44:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Strscans works identically to regex but statically compiled and any captures can go right to the type you want
00:44:40FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Strscans works identically to": Huh, can you show an example?
00:46:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I should say it's not 100% identical case any of those formatted strings cannot work as a pattern
00:47:29FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Fair
00:48:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=minZmQYRRwFP
00:48:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's not complicated and assuming you want to extract the values in strings is much more sane
00:49:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Whoops that should be `$` since we want to parse until `)`
00:49:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's really not that complicated it has some built in matchers then you can define your own matchers
00:50:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So like instead of using the above regex for the time stamp you'd probably implement a `timeMatcher(...)` which yields a `Time`

00:52:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean regex sucks for anything that's not arbitrary searching imo
00:52:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's unreadable, unmaintainable, and requires multiple steps for data extraction
00:53:49FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @Elegantbeef "I mean regex sucks": regEx need documentation - the CoffeeScript-crew did that very well. Undocumented regEx - even my own - i cannot understand after 7-days..
00:54:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No regex does not need documentation
00:54:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It needs ripped out of codebases
00:54:15FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @Elegantbeef "No regex does not": docuement
00:54:23FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> CoffeeScript? Why would it use regex?
00:54:33FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @Elegantbeef "It needs ripped out": nope, well documented its okay..
00:54:51FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @chronos.vitaqua "CoffeeScript? Why would it": its javascript,,
00:54:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It really is not okay cause if you sufficiently document complex regex you might as well just make the for loop
00:55:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like how would you document `SIWE_DATETIME` in the above?
00:56:42FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Like how would you": https://coffeescript.org/#regexes they call it block regular expressions
00:56:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Right and that's just silly
00:57:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Isn't `Number = "${number({Binary, Octal, Hex, Decimal})}"` better?
00:58:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The documentation is a part of the matcher
00:58:00FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Right and that's just": its better than 'standard' - strscan is best sure
00:58:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sure but that's my point
00:58:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Documented regex is best replaced with a more structured api
01:02:38FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bosinski2023 "its javascript,,": I know what CoffeeScript is
01:07:11FromDiscord<gogolxdong666> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=wlnAhXVSgEKH
01:08:21FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> https://tryitands.ee/
01:08:23FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @chronos.vitaqua "I know what CoffeeScript": in a dynamic language regEx gives you performance - in nim the std/strscan and friends are prbly very fast.
01:11:32FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Yeah I'd assume so lol
01:30:27FromDiscord<.bobbbob> Is there a way to get a slice where if the end index is greater than the length it defaults to the length like how python does it? I can't use min(num,arr.len) because the array isn't saved in a variable
01:32:12FromDiscord<bosinski2023> In reply to @.bobbbob "Is there a way": how do you generate the slice ?
01:33:05FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @.bobbbob "Is there a way": `idx..^1`
01:33:31FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> I think that's what you're asking for
01:36:04FromDiscord<.bobbbob> nah, basically I want arr[0..50] but if the arr is less than 50 then arr[0..arr.len], hench the arr[0..min(50, arr.len)]. but the sequence is returned from a function and a for loop iterates through it right away so there is no arr variable. So you might say, just save it in a variable first, but that would be a pain because this is actually code in a nimja template, so it's a weird pickle
01:37:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Just make a proc or iterator that does what you need
01:37:46FromDiscord<.bobbbob> yeah I guess so

02:25:05FromDiscord<recycledloveletter> I guess I can't report this to any EDR/AV I find or use them in my assessments for the greater good?
02:25:23FromDiscord<recycledloveletter> I guess helping companies secure their infrastructure isn't good.

15:43:00FromDiscord<odexine> IIRC go also does allow for unicode names, which you can imagine the problem it poses if you (for some reason) use a language which does not use capitalisation

17:49:39FromDiscord<rakgew> right, I did a nimble search as well, but thought maybe there is another lib.↵(<@709044657232936960_=41mun-=52a=5b=49=52=43=5d>)

18:48:15FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> rakgew is this what you want? https://formats.kaitai.io/exif/nim.html
18:48:37FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Kaitai wraps binary formats for multiple languages so maybe this is what you want

19:05:34FromDiscord<rakgew> wohoo noice, that is indeed exactly it! thank you so much @Robyn [She/Her] !
19:08:46FromDiscord<rakgew> ..huh, but where does this `import kaitai_struct_nim_runtime` come from?↵time for some reading I guess.. (-;
19:10:48FromDiscord<rakgew> very neat, that this katai thing serves so many languages.
19:42:44FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @rakgew "wohoo noice, that is": No worries!
19:42:56FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @rakgew "very neat, that this": Katai is pretty neat! Haven't used it myself though

20:10:36FromDiscord<nnsee> I use katai when reverse engineering proprietary file formats
20:10:41FromDiscord<nnsee> it's pretty neat
20:13:57FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Damn, what formats for example? I'm curious heh
20:16:04FromDiscord<.bobbbob> how would I provide a code example in docs that ISNT tested when the html is generated
20:16:14FromDiscord<.bobbbob> ie not with runnableExamples
20:19:36FromDiscord<nnsee> sent a long message, see https://pasty.ee/uQXpNwxTsCss
20:21:44FromDiscord<nnsee> it used multicast, which I found interesting as well
20:22:03FromDiscord<nnsee> meaning you can flash many routers at the same time, assuming they're on the same network
20:22:05FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Oh bloody hell- Was it a ton of trial and error then to actually figure out?
20:22:11FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Sounds super tedious
20:22:41FromDiscord<nnsee> In reply to @chronos.vitaqua "Oh bloody hell- Was": somewhat, but it was mostly literally just looking at assembly and ghidra output
20:22:52FromDiscord<nnsee> In reply to @chronos.vitaqua "Sounds super tedious": i find reverse engineering quite fun actually
20:22:59FromDiscord<nnsee> it's kind of like a puzzle
20:23:16FromDiscord<nnsee> where first you have to find the right pieces and then figure out how they fit together
20:23:48FromDiscord<nnsee> and often in my case, whether those pieces maybe fit together incorrectly and there's a vulnerability ;)
20:24:28FromDiscord<nnsee> there's something deeply satisfying about having totally documented something that was a total black box before
20:25:05FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @nnsee "somewhat, but it was": Yikes
20:25:42FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @nnsee "there's something deeply satisfying": Fair enough, that does sound rewarding but personally I'd lack the patience heh, you're a better man than me :p
20:25:53FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> ...if I were a man of course
20:26:45FromDiscord<nnsee> i mean, just like with programming, for every finished project i have about 20 things that i've started reversing and then just lost interest or moved on to the next thing and forgotten about it
20:27:08FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> That's fair enough honestly

21:16:53FromDiscord<odexine> In reply to @.bobbbob "how would I provide": if you dont mind, for what reason would you need this to be so?
21:18:32FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=SWwEQJrzsAvF
21:18:38FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> The file is compiled but not tested
21:24:24FromDiscord<odexine> you could alternatively add a code block to the doc comments so you dont do either
21:27:39FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> ^^
21:58:22FromDiscord<.bobbbob> In reply to @chronos.vitaqua "https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#runnableExamp": thx
21:58:23FromDiscord<.bobbbob> I just wanted it because some functions require some setup to use but didnt want to have to do all of that for each function
21:59:25FromDiscord<.bobbbob> (edit) "I just wanted it because some functions require some setup to use but didnt want to have to do all of that for each function ... " added "example"
