x = base32_custom_encode('ohai', 'ybndrfg8ejkmcpqxot1uwisza345h769', '')

clear_err

Clear the last recorded error from the internal state. See also last_err.

if last_err() then
    -- ignore this error
    clear_err()
end

create_blob

Push a byte array into persistent blob storage. This allows passing those bytes to functions operating on blob storage. Returns a blob identifier that is deterministic based on the blob content. Blobs are immutable.

blob = create_blob("some bytes")
debug(blob)

datetime

Return current time in UTC. This function is suitable to determine datetimes for DATETIME database fields.

now = datetime()

Note

This format is sn0int specific, to get the current time for scripting use time_unix instead.

Warning

This function is going to be deprecated at some point. Prefer sn0int_time for new scripts.

db_add

Add an entity to the database or update it if it already exists. This function may fail or return nil. See db_add for details.

domain_id = db_add('domain', {
    value='example.com',
})

db_add_ttl

Add a temporary entity to the database. This is commonly used to insert temporary links that automatically expire over time. If the entity already exists and is also marked as temporary the new ttl is going to replace the old ttl. If the entity already exists but never expires we are not going to add a ttl.

-- this link is valid for 2min
domain_id = db_add_ttl('network-device', {
    network_id=1,
    device_id=13,
}, 120)

db_activity

Log an activity event. A basic event looks like this:

db_activity({
    topic='harness/activity-ping:dummy',
    time=sn0int_time(),
    content={
        a='b',
        foo={
            bar=1337,
        },
        msg='ohai',
    },
})

This function is explained in detail in the activity section.

db_select

Checks if a target is in scope. If non-nil is returned, this entity is in scope. This function may fail. See db_select for details.

domain_id = db_select('domain', 'example.com')
if domain_id ~= nil then
    -- do something
end

db_update

Update an entity in the database. This function may fail. See db_update for details.

db_update('ipaddr', arg, {
    asn=lookup['asn'],
    as_org=lookup['as_org'],
})

dns

Resolve a dns record. If the dns query was successful and the dns reply is NoError then x['error'] is nil. The records of the reply are in x['answers']. This function may fail.

This function accepts the following options:

record
The query_type, can be any of A, AAAA, MX, AXFR, etc.
nameserver
The server that should be used for the lookup. Defaults to your system resolver.
tcp
If the lookup should use tcp, true/false.
timeout
The time until the query times out in milliseconds.
records = dns('example.com', {
    record='A',
})
if last_err() then return end
if records['error'] ~= nil then return end
records = records['answers']

Note

DNS replies with an error code set are not causing a change to last_err(). You have to test for this explicitly.

Note

This function is unavailable if a socks5 proxy is configured.

error

Log an error to the terminal.

error('ohai')

geoip_lookup

Run a geoip lookup for a given ip address. The function returns:

  • continent
  • continent_code
  • country
  • country_code
  • city
  • latitude
  • longitude

This function may fail.

lookup = geoip_lookup('1.1.1.1')
if last_err() then return end

Calculate an hmac with sha3_512. Returns a binary array.

hmac_sha3_512("secret", "my authenticated message")

html_select

Parses an html document and returns the first element that matches the css selector. The return value is a table with text being the inner text and attrs being a table of the elements attributes.

csrf = html_select(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')
token = csrf["attrs"]["value"]

html_select_list

Same as html_select but returns all matches instead of the first one.

html_select_list(html, 'input[name="csrf"]')

http_mksession

Create a session object. This is similar to requests.Session in python-requests and keeps track of cookies.

session = http_mksession()

http_request

Prepares an http request. The first argument is the session reference and cookies from that session are copied into the request. After the request has been sent, the cookies from the response are copied back into the session.

The next arguments are the method, the url and additional options. Please note that you still need to specify an empty table {} even if no options are set. The following options are available:

query
A map of query parameters that should be set on the url.
headers
A map of headers that should be set.
basic_auth
Configure the basic auth header with {"user, "password"}.
user_agent
Overwrite the default user agent with a string.
json
The request body that should be json encoded.
form
The request body that should be form encoded.
follow_redirects
Automatically follow redirects, up to the specified number. If set to 1, only one redirect is going to be followed. Defaults to 0 so redirects aren’t followed.
body
The raw request body as string.
into_blob
If true, the response body is stored in blob storage and a blob reference is returned as blob instead of the full body.
proxy
Use a socks5 proxy in the format 127.0.0.1:9050. This option only works if it doesn’t conflict with the global proxy settings.
binary
Set to true to get the http response as raw bytes.

This function may fail.

req = http_request(session, 'POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', {
    json={
        user=user,
        password=password,
    }
})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp['status'] ~= 200 then return 'http status error: ' .. resp['status'] end

http_send

Send the request that has been built with http_request. Returns a table with the following keys:

status
The http status code
headers
A table of headers
text
The response body as string
binary
The response body as bytes (if binary=true)
blob
If into_blob was enabled for the request the body is downloaded into blob storage with a reference to the body in this field.
req = http_request(session, 'POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', {
    json={
        user=user,
        password=password,
    }
})
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp['status'] ~= 200 then return 'http status error: ' .. resp['status'] end

http_fetch

This does an http_send and also automatically validate the status code.

Note

You almost always want this when setting the into_blob option since this function validates the status code before inserting the response body into blob storage.

-- short form
data = http_fetch(req)
if last_err() then return end

-- long form
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp['status'] ~= 200 then return 'http status error: ' .. resp['status'] end

http_fetch_json

Identical to http_fetch but also automatically parses the response body as json.

-- short form
data = http_fetch_json(req)
if last_err() then return end

-- long form
resp = http_send(req)
if last_err() then return end
if resp['status'] ~= 200 then return 'http status error: ' .. resp['status'] end
data = json_decode(resp['text'])
if last_err() then return end

img_load

Attempt to decode a blob as an image and return some basic metadata like the mime type, height and width.

img = img_load(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(img)

img_exif

Extract exif metadata from an image.

exif = img_exif(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(exif)

img_ahash

Calculate the Mean (aHash) perceptual hash.

hash = img_ahash(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(hash)

img_dhash

Calculate the Gradient (dHash) perceptual hash.

hash = img_dhash(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(hash)

img_phash

Calculate the DCT (pHash) perceptual hash.

hash = img_phash(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(hash)

img_nudity

Classify an image for nudity. The score goes from 0 to 2. A score above 1 means nudity has been detected.

nudity = img_nudity(blob)
if last_err() then return end
debug(nudity)

info

Log an info to the terminal.

info('ohai')

intval

Parse a number from a string.

x = strval(‘1234’)

json_decode

Decode a lua value from a json string.

json_decode("{\"data\":{\"password\":\"fizz\",\"user\":\"bar\"},\"list\":[1,3,3,7]}")

json_decode_stream

Very similar to json_decode, but works with multiple json objects directly concatenated to each other or separated by newlines.

json_decode_stream("{\"data\":1}{\"data\":2}")

json_encode

Encode a datastructure into a string.

x = json_encode({
    some=1,
    fancy={
        data='structures',
    }
})
print(x)

key_trunc_pad

Truncate/pad a key to a given length.

-- if longer than 32 bytes: truncate to 32
-- if shorter than 32 bytes: pad with \x00
local key = key_trunc_pad(password, 32, 0)

keyring

Request all keys from a given namespace. See the keyring section for details.

creds = keyring('aws')
print(creds[1]['accesskey'])
print(creds[1]['secretkey'])

last_err

Returns infos about the last error we’ve observed, if any. Returns nil otherwise.

if last_err() then
    -- Something went wrong, abort
    return
end

md5

Hash a byte array with md5 and return the results as bytes.

hex(md5("\x00\xff"))

mqtt_connect

Connect to an mqtt broker.

local sock = mqtt_connect('mqtts://mqtt.example.com', {
    username='foo',
    password='secret',
})
if last_err() then return end

mqtt_subscribe

Subscribe to a topic. Right now only QoS 0 is supported.

mqtt_subscribe(sock, '#', 0)
if last_err() then return end

mqtt_recv

Receive an mqtt packet. This is not necessarily a publish packet and more packets might be added in the future, so you need to check the type specifically.

If a read timeout has been set with mqtt_connect this function returns nil in case of a read timeout.

local pkt = mqtt_recv(sock)
if last_err() then return end
if pkt == nil then
    -- read timeout, consider sending a ping or disconnect if the previous ping failed
elseif pkt['type'] == 'pong' then
    -- broker sent a pong
elseif pkt['type'] == 'publish' then
    local payload = utf8_decode(pkt['body'])
    if last_err() then return end
    info(payload)
end

mqtt_ping

Send a pingreq packet, causing the broker to send a pingresp. This is used to make sure the connection is still working correctly.

mqtt_ping(sock)
if last_err() then return end

pgp_pubkey

Same as pgp_pubkey_armored, but without the unarmor step.

pgp_pubkey_armored

Extract uids, sigs and the fingerprint out of an rfc 4880 pgp public key. This function may fail.

key = pgp_pubkey_armored([===[

print

Write something directly to the terminal.

print({
    some=1,
    fancy={
        data='structures',
    }
})

Warning

This function writes directly to the terminal and can interfere with other terminal features. This function should be used during development only.

psl_domain_from_dns_name

Returns the parent domain according to the public suffix list. For www.a.b.c.d.example.co.uk this is going to be example.co.uk.

domain = psl_domain_from_dns_name('www.a.b.c.d.example.co.uk')
print(domain == 'example.co.uk')

ratelimit_throttle

Create a ratelimit that can only be passed x times every y milliseconds. This limit is global for a single run and also works with threads.

-- allow this to pass every 250ms
ratelimit_throttle('foo', 1, 250)
-- allow this to pass not more than 4 times per second
ratelimit_throttle('foo', 4, 1000)

This is useful if you need to coordinate your executions to stay below a certain request threshold.

regex_find

Apply a regex to some text. Returns nil if the regex didn’t match and the capture groups if it did.

m = regex_find(".(.)", "abcdef")

if m == nil then
    print('No captures')
end

print(m[1] == 'ab')
print(m[2] == 'b')

regex_find_all

Same as regex_find, but returns all matches.

m = regex_find_all(".(.)", "abcdef")

print(m[1][1] == 'ab')
print(m[1][2] == 'b')
print(m[2][1] == 'cd')
print(m[2][2] == 'd')
print(m[3][1] == 'ef')
print(m[3][2] == 'f')

semver_match

Compare a version to a version requirement. This can be used with sn0int_version to test for certain features or behavior.

semver_match('=0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('>0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('<0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('~0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('^0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('0.11.2', sn0int_version()) -- synonym for ^0.11.2
semver_match('<=0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('>=0.11.2', sn0int_version())
semver_match('>=0.4.0, <=0.10.0', sn0int_version())

set_err

Manipulate the global error object. If you want to exit the main run function with an error you can simply return a string, but those are difficult to propagate through functions. set_err specifically assigns an error to the global error object that are also used by all other rust functions.

function foo()
    set_err("something failed")
end

foo()
if last_err() then return end

sha1

Hash a byte array with sha1 and return the results as bytes.

hex(sha1("\x00\xff"))

Hash a byte array with sha2_256 and return the results as bytes.

hex(sha2_256("\x00\xff"))

sha2_512

Hash a byte array with sha2_512 and return the results as bytes.

hex(sha2_512("\x00\xff"))

sha3_256

Hash a byte array with sha3_256 and return the results as bytes.

hex(sha3_256("\x00\xff"))

sha3_512

Hash a byte array with sha3_512 and return the results as bytes.

hex(sha3_512("\x00\xff"))

sleep

Pause the current program for the specified number of seconds. This is usually only used for debugging.

sleep(1)

sn0int_time

Return current time in UTC. This function is suitable to determine datetimes for DATETIME database fields.

now = sn0int_time()

Note

This format is sn0int specific, to get the current time for scripting use time_unix instead.

sn0int_time_from

Identical to sn0int_time but uses a unix timestamp in seconds instead of the current time. This function is compatible with time_unix and strptime.

time = sn0int_time_from(1567931337)

sn0int_version

Get the current sn0int version string. This can be used with semver_match to test for certain features or behavior.

info(sn0int_version())

sock_connect

Create a tcp connection.

The following options are available:

tls
Set to true to enable tls (certificates are validated)
sni_value
Instead of the host argument, use a custom string for the sni extension.
disable_tls_verify
Danger: disable tls verification. This disables all security on the connection. Note that sn0int is still rather strict, you’re going to run into issues if you need support for insecure ciphers.
proxy
Use a socks5 proxy in the format 127.0.0.1:9050. This option only works if it doesn’t conflict with the global proxy settings.
connect_timeout
Abort tcp connection attempts after n seconds.
read_timeout
Abort read attempts after n seconds. This can be used to wake up connections periodically.
write_timeout
Abort write attempts after n seconds.
sock = sock_connect("127.0.0.1", 1337, {
    tls=true,
})

sock_upgrade_tls

Take an existing tcp connection and start a tls handshake. The options are the same as sock_connect but the tls value is always assumed to be true.

The sni value needs to be set specifically, otherwise the sni extension is disabled.

Using this function specifically returns some extra information that is discarded when using sock_connect directly with tls=true.

sock = sock_connect("127.0.0.1", 1337, {})
if last_err() then return end

tls = sock_upgrade_tls(sock, {
    sni_value='example.com',
})
if last_err() then return end

info(tls)

sock_options

Update options of an existing connection:

read_timeout
Abort read attempts after n seconds. This can be used to wake up connections periodically.
write_timeout
Abort write attempts after n seconds.
sock_options(sock, {
    read_timeout=3,
})

sock_send

Send data to the socket.

sock_send(sock, "hello world")

sock_recvline_contains

Receive lines from the server until a line contains the needle, then return this line.

x = sock_recvline_contains(sock, needle)

sock_recvline_regex

Receive lines from the server until a line matches the regex, then return this line.

x = sock_recvline_regex(sock, "^250 ")

sock_recvn

Receive exactly n bytes from the socket.

x = sock_recvn(sock, 4)

sock_recvuntil

Receive until the needle is found, then return all data including the needle.

x = sock_recvuntil(sock, needle)

sock_sendafter

Receive until the needle is found, then write data to the socket.

sock_sendafter(sock, needle, data)

sock_newline

Overwrite the default \n newline.

sock_newline(sock, "\r\n")

sodium_secretbox_open

Use authenticated symetric crypto to decrypt a given message.

Internally this is crypto_secretbox_xsalsa20poly1305.

The key must be 32 bytes, see key_trunc_pad if necessary.

The first 24 bytes of the encrypted message are expected to be the nonce.

plain = sodium_secretbox_open(encrypted, key)
if last_err() then return end

txt = utf8_decode(plain)
if last_err() then return end

info(txt)

status

Update the label of the progress indicator.

status('ohai')

stdin_readline

Read a line from stdin. The final newline is not removed.

stdin_readline()

Note

This only works with sn0int run –stdin.

stdin_read_to_end

Read stdin until EOF as a utf-8 string.

stdin_read_to_end()

Note

This only works with sn0int run –stdin.

str_find

Returns the byte index of the first character that matches the pattern. This is explicitly a literal match instead of a lua pattern.

If no match is found, returns nil.

x = str_find('asdf', 'sd')
print(x == 2)

str_replace

Replaces all matches of a pattern in a string. This is explicitly a literal match instead of a lua pattern.

If no match is found, an unmodified copy is returned.

x = str_replace('this is old', 'old', 'new')
print(x == 'this is new')

strftime

Format a timestamp generated with time_unix into a date, see strftime rules.

t = strftime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M', 1558584994)

strptime

Parse a date into a unix timestamp, see strftime rules.

t = strptime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M', '23/05/2019 04:16')

strval

Convert a number into a string.

x = strval(1234)

time_unix

Get the current time as seconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00 UTC, also known as UNIX timestamp. This timestamp can be formated using strftime.

now = time_unix()

url_decode

Parse a query string into a map. For raw percent decoding see url_unescape.

v = url_decode('a=b&c=d')
print(v['a'] == 'b')
print(v['c'] == 'd')

url_encode

Encode a map into a query string. For raw percent encoding see url_escape.

v = url_encode({
    a='b',
    c='d',
})
print(v == 'a=b&c=d')

url_escape

Apply url escaping to a string.

v = url_escape('foo bar?')
print(v == 'foo%20bar%3F')

url_join

Join a relative link to an absolute link. If both links are absolute we just return the first one:

x = url_join('https://example.com/x', '/foo')
print(x == 'https://example.com/foo')

x = url_join('https://example.com/x', 'https://github.com/')
print(x == 'https://github.com/')

url_parse

Parse a url into its components. The following components are returned:

  • scheme
  • host
  • port
  • path
  • query
  • fragment
  • params
url = url_parse('https://example.com')
print(url['scheme'] == 'https')
print(url['host'] == 'example.com')
print(url['path'] == '/')

url_unescape

Remove url escaping of a string.

v = url_unescape('foo%20bar%3F')
print(v == 'foo bar?')

utf8_decode

Decodes a list of bytes/numbers into a string. This function might fail.

x = utf8_decode({65, 65, 65, 65})
if last_err() then return end
print(x == 'AAAA')

warn

Log a warning to the terminal.

warn('ohai')

warn_once

Log a warning to the terminal once. This can be used to print a warning to the user without printing the same warning for each struct we’re processing during a run execution.

warn_once('ohai')
warn_once('ohai')

ws_connect

Create a websocket connection. The url format is ws://example.com/asdf, wss:// is also supported.

The following options are available:

headers
A map of additional headers that should be set for the request.
proxy
Use a socks5 proxy in the format 127.0.0.1:9050. This option only works if it doesn’t conflict with the global proxy settings.
connect_timeout
Abort tcp connection attempts after n seconds.
read_timeout
Abort read attempts after n seconds. This can be used to wake up connections periodically.
write_timeout
Abort write attempts after n seconds.
sock = ws_connect("wss://example.com/asdf", {})

ws_options

Update options of an existing connection:

read_timeout
Abort read attempts after n seconds. This can be used to wake up connections periodically.
write_timeout
Abort write attempts after n seconds.
ws_options(sock, {
    read_timeout=3,
})

ws_recv_text

Wait until the server sends a text frame. A binary frame is considered an error. Ping requests are answered automatically.

msg = ws_recv_text(sock)

ws_recv_binary

Wait until the server sends a binary frame. A text frame is considered an error. Ping requests are answered automatically.

msg = ws_recv_binary(sock)

ws_recv_json

Identical to ws_send_text but automatically runs json_decode on the response.

msg = ws_recv_json(sock)

ws_send_text

Send a text frame on the websocket connection.

ws_send_text(sock, "ohai!")

ws_send_binary

Send a binary frame on the websocket connection.

ws_send_binary(sock, "\x00\x01\x02")

ws_send_json

Encode the object as json string and send it as a text frame on the websocket connection.

ws_send_text(sock, {
    foo="ohai!",
    x={
        y={1,3,3,7},
    },
})

x509_parse_pem

Parse a pem encoded certificate. This function might fail.

x = x509_parse_pem([[-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
