This document discusses character sets, encodings, and text conversion. It provides information on:
- Character sets like Unicode, GB18030, Big5, and encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32.
- Issues with encodings like Big5 that use characters with special meanings.
- Projects like Chvar for mapping between traditional and simplified Chinese, and Khmerconv for converting Khmer fonts.
- The bsdconv tool for decoding, encoding, and converting between character sets and encodings, including handling phases, fallback characters, cascading conversions, and look-through processing.
This document provides documentation on the BSDCONV utility for converting between character encodings. It discusses the syntax and phases of conversions, including cascading multiple conversions together. It also covers types and flags used in encoding character data, and provides a programming guide for using the BSDCONV C library for conversions. The guide discusses the lifecycle of a conversion instance, available output modes, and accessing counters to monitor conversion metrics.
This document summarizes the key obstacles in building a BBS crawler for Taiwan, and the solutions developed to overcome them. The main obstacles were dealing with Big5 encoding, segmented characters, control sequences, and ambiguous character widths. The solutions involved using the bsdconv library to handle encoding conversions and character reassembly, and the pyte library to properly render terminal control sequences and display output. Telnetlib was also used to establish connections and transfer data to and from BBS servers.

Specific MIPS instructions for arithmetic like addition and subtraction are presented, showing how a single line of C code can require multiple assembly instructions. Register usage and conventions are also covered.
Except UnicodeError: battling Unicode demons in PythonAram Dulyan
This document provides an overview of Unicode and how it is handled in Python. It discusses Unicode encodings like UTF-8, common Unicode errors and how to resolve them. It also covers Unicode normalization, ensuring proper ASCII-only strings, and libraries that can help with Unicode handling in Python like unidecode and chardet.
UTF-8: The Secret of Character EncodingBert Pattyn
The document discusses character encoding standards like ASCII, UTF-8, and UTF-16. It explains that UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per character and has become the standard for XML and web content. The document raises questions about choosing the right encoding based on the characters, software, and browsers used.
This document provides an overview of assembly language and its relationship to other levels of software. It defines key concepts like machine language, assemblers, and debuggers. Tables describe the software hierarchy, compare assembly to high-level languages, and show number systems and data sizes. Examples demonstrate an assembling and debugging a simple assembly language program.
ASCII and EBCDIC are two different character encodings. ASCII is used primarily for personal computers and Unix systems, while EBCDIC is used mainly on IBM mainframes. Signed fields in EBCDIC store numeric values using a combination of character codes and binary codes for the sign, so simply converting the bytes to ASCII characters would not preserve the numeric value. Proper conversion of signed EBCDIC fields to ASCII requires understanding that the sign byte contains both a sign code and the numeric value.
HES2011 - James Oakley and Sergey bratus-Exploiting-the-Hard-Working-DWARFHackito Ergo Sum
The document describes how DWARF bytecode, included in GCC-compiled binaries to support exception handling, can be exploited to insert trojan payloads. DWARF bytecode interpreters are included in the standard C++ runtime and are Turing-complete, allowing the bytecode to perform arbitrary computations by influencing program flow. A demonstration shows how DWARF bytecode can be used to hijack exceptions and execute malicious payloads without requiring native code.
This document provides an overview of microcontroller architecture and assembly language programming. It discusses the following key points in 3 sentences:
The document introduces PIC microcontrollers and assembly language, noting that assembly language uses mnemonic instructions that must be translated to machine code by an assembler. It explains the assembling and linking process used to convert assembly code to machine code that can be burned into the PIC's program memory. Various PIC assembly language instructions are also described, including MOVLW, MOVWF, logic instructions, and bit manipulation instructions to set and clear bits on I/O ports.
The document discusses various keyboard and video interrupts used in 8086 processors. It explains that interrupts allow efficient processing of I/O without wasting CPU time waiting. INT 21h is used for keyboard and file operations depending on the value in register AH. INT 16h provides keyboard services like reading keys. INT 10h controls video modes and can set pixels, write text, and get display information. Example programs demonstrate using interrupts to get input, output text, and retrieve the date.
This talk will shed some light into the intermediate language that is used inside the Hex-Rays Decompiler. The microcode is simple yet powerful to represent real world programs. We publish it and give programmatic access to it from C++.
This document proposes and evaluates novel encoding and decoding algorithms for block turbo codes over Rayleigh fading channels. It describes block codes of different lengths and their error correction capabilities. Simulation results show that longer block codes provide higher gain and error correction compared to shorter codes, though complexity increases with length. When single block codes are used, error correction is lower, but using block turbo codes doubles the error correction capacity. Performance is evaluated for various block codes transmitting random data, voice signals, and images over additive white Gaussian noise channels. The proposed block turbo codes provide improved error correction compared to single block codes.

Abstracting Vector Architectures in Library Generators: Case Study Convolutio...ETH Zurich
We present FGen, a program generator for high performance convolution operations (finite-impulse-response filters). The generator uses an internal mathematical DSL to enable structural optimization at a high level of abstraction. We use FGen as a testbed to demonstrate how to provide modular and extensible support for modern SIMD vector architectures in a DSL-based generator. Specifically, we show how to combine staging and generic programming with type classes to abstract over both the data type (real or complex) and the target architecture (e.g., SSE or AVX) when mapping DSL expressions to C code with explicit vector intrinsics. Benchmarks shows that the generated code is highly competitive with commercial libraries.
This document discusses Unicode, character sets, and how they are handled in software. It begins by explaining how characters are represented differently in ASCII, ISO-8859 character sets, and Unicode. It then describes the UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 encoding forms for representing Unicode characters as sequences of bytes. The document also discusses how Perl and MySQL handle character encoding and converting between different encodings.

Introduce you to some of the more important design criteria in language design
Introduce you to BNF
This presentation is developed for MDD 2010 course at ITU, Denmark.
The document discusses the functions of an assembler. An assembler takes an assembly language program as input and produces a machine language program and additional information as output. It performs two passes over the input source program. In the first pass, it processes directives and defines symbols. In the second pass, it generates the machine language program. The assembler uses tables like the symbol table, machine opcode table, and pseudo opcode table to process instructions and directives. It also uses data structures like the location counter, literal table, and base table to track information during the assembly process.
This document provides an overview of the C programming language. It discusses the features of C including that it is simple, versatile, supports separate compilation of functions, and can be used for systems programming. It also covers C data types like integers, floating-point numbers, and how they are represented. Additional topics include variable names, comments, input/output functions like printf() and scanf(), and conventions for writing readable C code. The document serves as an introduction to key concepts in C programming.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
