    Introduction to programming in Fortran 77 for students of Science and Engineering Roman GrÄoger University of Pennsylvania, Department of Materials Science and Engineering 3231 Walnut Street, O±ce #215, Philadelphia, PA 19104 Revision 1.2 (September 27, 2004) 1 Introduction Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) is a programming language designed speci¯cally for scientists and engineers. For the past 30 years Fortran has been used for such projects as the design of bridges and aeroplane structures, it is used for factory automation control, for storm drainage design, analysis of scienti¯c data and so on. Throughout the life of this language, groups of users have written libraries of useful standard Fortran programs. These programs can be borrowed and used by other people who wish to take advantage of the expertise and experience of the authors, in a similar way in which a book is borrowed from a library. Fortran belongs to a class of higher-level programming languages in which the programs are not written directly in the machine code but instead in an arti¯cal, human-readable language. This source code consists of algorithms built using a set of standard constructions, each consisting of a series of commands which de¯ne the elementary operations with your data. In other words, any algorithm is a cookbook which speci¯es input ingredients, operations with them and with other data and ¯nally returns one or more results, depending on the function of this algorithm. Any source code has to be compiled in order to obtain an executable code which can be run on your computer.

  • Winappdbg Documentation Release 1.6
    WinAppDbg Documentation Release 1.6 Mario Vilas Aug 28, 2019 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Programming Guide 3 i ii CHAPTER 1 Introduction The WinAppDbg python module allows developers to quickly code instrumentation scripts in Python under a Win- dows environment. It uses ctypes to wrap many Win32 API calls related to debugging, and provides a powerful abstraction layer to manipulate threads, libraries and processes, attach your script as a debugger, trace execution, hook API calls, handle events in your debugee and set breakpoints of different kinds (code, hardware and memory). Additionally it has no native code at all, making it easier to maintain or modify than other debuggers on Windows. The intended audience are QA engineers and software security auditors wishing to test or fuzz Windows applications with quickly coded Python scripts. Several ready to use tools are shipped and can be used for this purposes. Current features also include disassembling x86/x64 native code, debugging multiple processes simultaneously and produce a detailed log of application crashes, useful for fuzzing and automated testing. Here is a list of software projects that use WinAppDbg in alphabetical order: • Heappie! is a heap analysis tool geared towards exploit writing. It allows you to visualize the heap layout during the heap spray or heap massaging stage in your exploits. The original version uses vtrace but here’s a patch to use WinAppDbg instead. The patch also adds 64 bit support. • PyPeElf is an open source GUI executable file analyzer for Windows and Linux released under the BSD license. • python-haystack is a heap analysis framework, focused on classic C structure matching.

  • Using the GNU Debugger (Gdb) a Debugger Is a Very Useful Tool for Finding Bugs in a Program
    Using the GNU debugger (gdb) A debugger is a very useful tool for finding bugs in a program. You can interact with a program while it is running, start and stop it whenever, inspect the current values of variables and modify them, etc. If your program runs and crashes, it will produce a ‘core dump’. You can also use a debugger to look at the core dump and give you extra information about where the crash happened and what triggered it. Some debuggers (including recent versions of gdb) can also go backwards through your code: you run your code forwards in time to the point of an error, and then go backwards looking at the values of the key variables until you get to the start of the error. This can be slow but useful sometimes! To use a debugger effectively, you need to get the compiler to put extra ‘symbol’ information into the binary, otherwise all it will contain is machine code level – it is much more useful to have the actual variable names you used. To do this, you use: gfortran –g –O0 mycode.f90 –o mybinary where ‘-g’ is the compiler option to include extra symbols, -O0 is no optimization so the code is compiled exactly as written, and the output binary is called ’mybinary’. If the source files and executable file is in the same directory, then you can run the binary through the debugger by simply doing: gdb ./mybinary This will then put you into an interactive debugging session. Most commands can be shortened (eg ‘b’ instead of ‘break’) and pressing ‘enter’ will repeat the last command.

  • Bash Shell Scripts
    Bash Shell Scripts Writing Bash shell scripts Bash shell scripts are text files Text files most efficiently built with programming editors (emacs or vi) File must be executable and in search path chmod 700 my_script PATH environment variable may not include .! An example shell script: #!/bin/bash #My first script echo "Hello World!" Bash Shell Scripts Writing Bash shell scripts Compile a Verilog file with vlog #!/bin/bash if [ ! d work ] ; then echo work does not exist, making it vlib work fi if [ ! s adder.v ] ; then vlog adder.v fi work directory must exist before compilation Get scripts via wget, eg: wget http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~traylor/ece474/script --- Bash Shell Scripts Writing Bash shell scripts File attribute checking #!/bin/bash if [ ! s junk_dir ] ; then mkdir junk_dir fi Spaces around brackets are needed!
