News : OneByteRadar - pymem python package.

Today, I found this GitHub project about how to write to exe files with python programming language

The author say:

CS:GO radar hack achieved by patching one byte of game memory. Written in Python 3.

I don't test it, but good to know how can use these python modules.

The pymem Python library that allows you to interact with the memory of running Windows processes.

• Reading and writing memory values of other processes
• Scanning memory for byte patterns
• Allocating and freeing memory inside another process
• Accessing modules (DLLs) loaded by a process
• This is often used in game hacking, automation, or debugging tools.

NOTE: I used artificial intelligence to write this simple example, it is more productive in programs with more complex syntax, but the basics of programming must be known...

Let's see one example with edge browser open:

import pymem
import pymem.process
import re

# Open the Edge process (make sure it's running)
pm = pymem.Pymem("msedge.exe")

# Get the main module of the process
module = pymem.process.module_from_name(pm.process_handle, "msedge.exe")
base = module.lpBaseOfDll
size = module.SizeOfImage

# Read the module's memory
data = pm.read_bytes(base, size)

# Search for a test pattern (generic example)
pattern = re.search(rb'\x48\x89\x5C\x24\x08\x57\x48\x83', data)

if pattern:
    address = base + pattern.start()
    print(f"Pattern found at: {hex(address)}")

    # Read 8 bytes from the found address
    raw = pm.read_bytes(address, 8)
    print("Raw bytes:", raw)

    # Interpret the bytes as a little-endian integer
    value = int.from_bytes(raw, byteorder='little')
    print("Integer value:", value)

    # Write a new value (e.g., 12345678)
    new_value = (12345678).to_bytes(8, byteorder='little')
    pm.write_bytes(address, new_value, 8)
    print("Value overwritten with 12345678.")

else:
    print("Pattern not found.")

# Close the process handle
pm.close_process()

What is that patern:

pattern = re.search(rb'\x48\x89\x5C\x24\x08\x57\x48\x83', data)

These bytes correspond to x86-64 assembly instructions. For example:

48 89 5C 24 08 → mov [rsp+8], rbx
57 → push rdi
48 83 → the start of an instruction like add/sub/cmp with a 64-bit operand

This sequence is typical for the prologue of a function in compiled C++ code — saving registers to the stack.

This is a simple example, you don't see anything in edge because is just one search and one overwritten:

python pymem_exemple_002.py
Pattern found at: 0x7ff7180cb3d5
Raw bytes: b'H\x89\\$\x08WH\x83'
Integer value: 9459906709773125960
Value overwritten with 12345678.

You replaced those 8 bytes with the integer 12345678, encoded as: 4E 61 BC 00 00 00 00 00 (in hex)

This corrupts the original instruction, which may crash Edge or cause undefined behavior.

Not crash, maybe my edge browser use protections (ASLR, DEP, CFG) that can make modification unstable.

1. ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization)

2. DEP (Data Execution Prevention)

3. CFG (Control Flow Guard)

Python 3.13.0 : Script for python modules then installs them - updated with fix.

This script scans a folder full of .py files Python scripts, identifies all the external modules they import, filters out built-in ones, writes the installable ones to a requirements.txt file, and then installs them using pip—in parallel threads for speed.

I use the copilot and some comments are into my language, but I tested and works well:

NOTE: I updated with detection python modules based "from" and another issue: check if python module is instaled and step over that python module ...

This script will try to install many python modules, I can update to be better with these issues:

...some modules are default , some scripts are from another area, see Blender 3D with bpy python modules, some packages comes with same modules, this can be soleved with defined lists with unique items.

Today I tested the groq A.P.I. with the basic example :

import os

from groq import Groq

client = Groq(
    api_key="gsk_..."
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "explain what groq is",
        }
    ],
    model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
)

print(chat_completion.choices[0].message.content)

The result of : "explain what groq is" is that :

Python 3.13.5 : use the jupyterlab, notebook and voila - part 001.

JupyterLab is the latest web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. Its flexible interface allows users to configure and arrange workflows in data science, scientific computing, computational journalism, and machine learning. A modular design invites extensions to expand and enrich functionality.

Let's test with these python modules: jupyterlab, notebook and voila.

First, I install with pip tool the jupyterlab python module:

pip install jupyterlab
Collecting jupyterlab

Successfully installed ipywidgets-8.1.7 jupyterlab_widgets-3.0.15 widgetsnbextension-4.0.14

Let's start the jupiter tool with this command:

jupyter notebook

I used an default python example with a slider:

import ipywidgets as widgets
from IPython.display import display

slider = widgets.IntSlider(value=5, min=0, max=10)
display(slider)

This command will start the web with the slider using the voila command:

voila test.ipynb

The result is this:

Python 3.13.5 : Get bookmarks from Edge browser with python.

Today I tested with these python modules json and pathlib.

This python script will get all bookmarks from Edge browser:

import json
from pathlib import Path

bookmark_path = Path.home() / "AppData/Local/Microsoft/Edge/User Data/Default/Bookmarks"

with open(bookmark_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    data = json.load(f)

# Exemplu: listăm toate titlurile bookmark-urilor
def extract_bookmarks(bookmark_node):
    bookmarks = []
    if "children" in bookmark_node:
        for child in bookmark_node["children"]:
            bookmarks.extend(extract_bookmarks(child))
    elif bookmark_node.get("type") == "url":
        bookmarks.append((bookmark_node["name"], bookmark_node["url"]))
    return bookmarks

all_bookmarks = extract_bookmarks(data["roots"]["bookmark_bar"])
for name, url in all_bookmarks:
    print(f"{name}: {url}")

Python 3.13.5 : testing with flask, request and playwright python module.

Today some testing with these python modules: flask, request and playwright.

I used pip to install flask python package:

pip install flask

This will download a lot fo files and the will install the playwright tool.

First script is simple one will try to get cloudflare header on default ip:

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def detecteaza_ipuri():
    ip_client = request.headers.get('CF-Connecting-IP', 'Necunoscut')
    ip_cloudflare = request.remote_addr
    return (
        f"IP real vizitator: {ip_client}
"
        f"IP Cloudflare (vizibil de server): {ip_cloudflare}"
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

The next one will check more ...

from flask import Flask, request
import requests
import ipaddress

app = Flask(__name__)

def este_ip_cloudflare(ip):
    try:
        raspuns = requests.get("https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v4")
        raspuns.raise_for_status()
        subneturi = raspuns.text.splitlines()

        for subnet in subneturi:
            if ipaddress.ip_address(ip) in ipaddress.ip_network(subnet):
                return True
        return False
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Eroare la verificarea IP-ului Cloudflare: {e}"

@app.route("/")
def detecteaza_ipuri():
    ip_client = request.headers.get('CF-Connecting-IP', 'Necunoscut')
    ip_cloudflare = request.remote_addr
    rezultat = este_ip_cloudflare(ip_cloudflare)

    return (
        f"IP real vizitator: {ip_client}
"
        f"IP Cloudflare (forwarder): {ip_cloudflare}
"
        f"Este IP-ul din rețeaua Cloudflare? {'DA' if rezultat == True else 'NU' if rezultat == False else rezultat}"
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000)

Now, the script with the request python module:

import requests

url = "https://cobalt.tools"
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0",  # Simulează un browser real
}

try:
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=10)
    content = r.text.lower()

    print(f"Cod răspuns HTTP: {r.status_code}")

    if "cloudflare" in content or "cf-ray" in content or "attention required" in content:
        print("Cloudflare a intermediat cererea sau a blocat-o cu o pagină specială.")
    else:
        print("Cererea a fost servită normal.")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Eroare la conexiune: {e}")

The last one will use the playwright python module:

import sys
import re
from urllib.parse import urlparse
from pathlib import Path
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def converteste_url_in_nume_fisier(url):
    parsed = urlparse(url)
    host = parsed.netloc.replace('.', '_')
    path = parsed.path.strip('/').replace('/', '_')
    if not path:
        path = 'index'
    return f"{host}_{path}.txt"

if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    print("Utilizare: python script.py https://exemplu.com")
    sys.exit(1)

url = sys.argv[1]
fisier_output = converteste_url_in_nume_fisier(url)

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True)
    pagina = browser.new_page()
    pagina.goto(url, wait_until='networkidle')
    continut = pagina.content()
    Path(fisier_output).write_text(continut, encoding='utf-8')
    browser.close()

print(f"Conținutul a fost salvat în: {fisier_output}")

This will create a file with the source code of web page.

Python 3.13.0rc1 : Testing python with Ollama local install.

I was very busy with development and testing for about two weeks and my laptop was stuck and I was working hard... Today I managed to test local background clipping on my laptop with a local Ollama installation separated by a Python module but with processing from the Python script. I also used Microsoft's Copilot artificial intelligence for python and it works well even though it is not theoretically specialized in development. The source code is quite large but the result is very good and fast:

import subprocess
import os
import json
from PIL import Image, ImageOps

class OllamaProcessor:
    def __init__(self, config_file):
        self.config_file = config_file
        self.model_methods = self.load_config()

    def load_config(self):
        try:
            with open(self.config_file, 'r') as file:
                config = json.load(file)
            print("Configuration loaded successfully.")
            return config
        except FileNotFoundError:
            print(f"Configuration file {self.config_file} not found.")
            raise
        except json.JSONDecodeError:
            print(f"Error decoding JSON from the configuration file {self.config_file}.")
            raise

    def check_ollama(self):
        try:
            result = subprocess.run(["ollama", "--version"], capture_output=True, text=True, check=True)
            print("Ollama is installed. Version:", result.stdout)
        except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
            print("Ollama is not installed or not found in PATH. Ensure it's installed and accessible.")
            raise
... 

Here is the result obtained after finishing running in the command line:

python ollama_test_001.py
Configuration file ollama_config.json created successfully.
Configuration loaded successfully.
Ollama is installed. Version: ollama version is 0.5.7

Blender 3D and python scripting - part 031.

This python script for blender will select vertrices based on boolean ...

This is the result with Blender version 4.3 :

This is the python script:

import bpy, bmesh

obj = bpy.context.active_object
me = obj.data

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode = 'EDIT') 
bpy.ops.mesh.select_mode(type="VERT")


bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(obj.data)
selected = [False,False,True,True,True,True,True,True]
verts = [vert for vert in bpy.context.active_object.data.vertices if vert.select]
all = [vert for vert in bpy.context.active_object.data.vertices]
print("selected:",len(verts))
print("all:",len(all))
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode = 'OBJECT')
me.vertices.foreach_set(
"select",
selected
)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode = 'EDIT')
