Misc Helpers

These are miscellaneous helpers, used throughout BBOT and its modules for simple tasks such as parsing domains, ports, urls, etc.

as_completed async

as_completed(coros)

Async generator that yields completed Tasks as they are completed.

Parameters:

  • coros (iterable) –

    An iterable of coroutine objects or asyncio Tasks.

Yields:

  • asyncio.Task: A Task object that has completed its execution.

Examples:

>>> async def main():
...     async for task in as_completed([coro1(), coro2(), coro3()]):
...         result = task.result()
...         print(f'Task completed with result: {result}')
>>> asyncio.run(main())

best_http_status

best_http_status(code1, code2)

Determine the better HTTP status code between two given codes.

The 'better' status code is considered based on typical usage and priority in HTTP communication. Lower codes are generally better than higher codes. Within the same class (e.g., 2xx), a lower code is better. Between different classes, the order of preference is 2xx > 3xx > 1xx > 4xx > 5xx.

Parameters:

  • code1 (int) –

    The first HTTP status code.

  • code2 (int) –

    The second HTTP status code.

Returns:

  • int

    The better HTTP status code between the two provided codes.

Examples:

>>> better_http_status(200, 404)
200
>>> better_http_status(500, 400)
400
>>> better_http_status(301, 302)

chain_lists

chain_lists(l, try_files=False, msg=None, remove_blank=True)

Chains together list elements, allowing for entries separated by commas.

This function takes a list l and flattens it by splitting its entries on commas. It also allows you to optionally open entries as files and add their contents to the list.

The order of entries is preserved, and deduplication is performed automatically.

Parameters:

  • l (list) –

    The list of strings to chain together.

  • try_files (bool, default: False ) –

    Whether to try to open entries as files. Defaults to False.

  • msg (str, default: None ) –

    An optional message to log when reading from a file. Defaults to None.

  • remove_blank (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to remove blank entries from the list. Defaults to True.

Returns:

  • list

    The list of chained elements.

Examples:

>>> chain_lists(["a", "b,c,d"])
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> chain_lists(["a,file.txt", "c,d"], try_files=True)

This function removes the oldest files and directories in the provided directory 'd' that exceed a specified threshold ('keep'). The items to be deleted can be filtered using a lambda function 'filter', and they are sorted by a key function, defaulting to latest modification time.

Parameters:

  • d (str or Path) –

    The directory path to clean up.

  • keep (int, default: 10 ) –

    The number of items to keep. Ones beyond this count will be removed.

  • filter (Callable, default: lambda x: True ) –

    A lambda function for filtering which files or directories to consider. Defaults to a lambda function that returns True for all.

  • key (Callable, default: latest_mtime ) –

    A function to sort the files and directories. Defaults to latest modification time.

  • reverse (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to reverse the order of sorted items before removing. Defaults to True.

  • raise_error (bool, default: False ) –

    Whether to raise an error if directory deletion fails. Defaults to False.

Examples:

>>> clean_old("~/.bbot/scans", filter=lambda x: x.is_dir() and scan_name_regex.match(x.name))

        u (str): The input string representing a URL.

    Returns:
        List[str]: A list of parent URLs of the input URL in decreasing order of specificity.

    Examples:
        >>> url_parents("http://www.evilcorp.co.uk/admin/tools/cmd.php")
        ["http://www.evilcorp.co.uk/admin/tools/", "http://www.evilcorp.co.uk/admin/", "http://www.evilcorp.co.uk/"]

    Notes:
        - The list is generated by continuously calling `parent_url` until it returns None.
        - All components of the URL except for the path are preserved.

weighted_shuffle

weighted_shuffle(items, weights)

Shuffles a list of items based on their corresponding weights.

Parameters:

  • items (list) –

    The list of items to shuffle.

  • weights (list) –

    The list of weights corresponding to each item.

Returns:

  • list

    A new list containing the shuffled items.

Examples:

>>> items = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
>>> weights = [0.4, 0.5, 0.1]
>>> weighted_shuffle(items, weights)
['banana', 'apple', 'cherry']
>>> weighted_shuffle(items, weights)
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
>>> weighted_shuffle(items, weights)
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
>>> weighted_shuffle(items, weights)
['banana', 'apple', 'cherry']
Note

The sum of all weights does not have to be 1. They will be normalized internally.
