The first command uses the AsByteStream parameter to get the stream of bytes from the file.The Raw parameter ensures that the bytes are returned as a [System.Byte[]]. If the Rawparameter was absent, the return value is a stream of bytes, which is interpreted byPowerShell as [System.Object[]].

A warning occurs when you use the AsByteStream parameter with the Encoding parameter. TheAsByteStream parameter ignores any encoding and the output is returned as a stream of bytes.

When reading from and writing to binary files, use the AsByteStream parameter and a value of 0for the ReadCount parameter. A ReadCount value of 0 reads the entire file in a single readoperation. The default ReadCount value, 1, reads one byte in each read operation and convertseach byte into a separate object, which causes errors when you use the Set-Content cmdlet to writethe bytes to a file unless you use AsByteStream parameter.

In its first version, from 1991 to 1995, Unicode was a 16-bit encoding, but starting with Unicode 2.0 (July, 1996), the Unicode Standard has encoded characters in the range U+0000..U+10FFFF, which amounts to a 21-bit code space. Depending on the encoding form you choose (UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32), each character will then be represented either as a sequence of one to four 8-bit bytes, one or two 16-bit code units, or a single 32-bit code unit.

Each UTF is reversible, thus every UTF supports lossless round tripping: mapping from any Unicode coded character sequence S to a sequence of bytes and back will produce S again. To ensure round tripping, a UTF mapping must have a mapping for all code points (except surrogate code points). This includes reserved or unassigned code points and the 66 noncharacters (including U+FFFE and U+FFFF). In addition to being lossless, UTFs are unique: any given coded character sequence will always result in the same sequence of bytes for a given UTF.

UTF-16 and UTF-32 use code units that are two and four bytes long respectively. For these UTFs, there are three sub-flavors: BE, LE and unmarked. The BE form uses big-endian byte serialization (most significant byte first), the LE form uses little-endian byte serialization (least significant byte first) and the unmarked form uses big-endian byte serialization by default, but may include a byte order mark at the beginning to indicate the actual byte serialization used. [AF]

Use UTF-8. This preserves ASCII, but not Latin-1, because the characters >127 are different from Latin-1. UTF-8 uses the bytes in the ASCII only for ASCII characters. Therefore, it works well in any environment where ASCII characters have a significance as syntax characters, e.g. file name syntaxes, markup languages, etc., but where the all other characters may use arbitrary bytes.

Use SCSU. This format compresses Unicode into 8-bit format, preserving most of ASCII, but using some of the control codes as commands for the decoder. However, while ASCII text will look like ASCII text after being encoded in SCSU, other characters may occasionally be encoded with the same byte values, making SCSU unsuitable for 8-bit channels that blindly interpret any of the bytes as ASCII characters.

Data types longer than a byte can be stored in computer memory with the most significant byte (MSB) first or last. The former is called big-endian, the latter little-endian. When data is exchanged, bytes that appear in the "correct" order on the sending system may appear to be out of order on the receiving system. In that situation, a BOM would look like 0xFFFE which is a noncharacter, allowing the receiving system to apply byte reversal before processing the data. UTF-8 is byte oriented and therefore does not have that issue. Nevertheless, an initial BOM might be useful to identify the datastream as UTF-8. [AF]

A BOM can be used as a signature no matter how the Unicode text is transformed: UTF-16, UTF-8, or UTF-32. The exact bytes comprising the BOM will be whatever the Unicode character U+FEFF is converted into by that transformation format. In that form, the BOM serves to indicate both that it is a Unicode file, and which of the formats it is in. Examples:

Number of bytes that fprintf writes, returnedas a scalar. When writing to a file, nbytes isdetermined by the character encoding. When printing data to the screen, nbytes isthe number of characters displayed on the screen.

The maximum octets you can download using the /mgmt/tm/asm/file-transfer/downloads/file endpoint is 1,048,576 bytes (1 MiB = 1,0242). Any remaining data is silently truncated (I did not get the 400 error you got. Possibly version dependent. Mine was 13.0.0).

SAS files only contain two value types: ASCII text and floating pointvalues (usually 8 bytes but sometimes truncated). For xport files,there is no automatic type conversion to integers, dates, orcategoricals. For SAS7BDAT files, the format codes may allow datevariables to be automatically converted to dates. By default thewhole file is read and returned as a DataFrame.

ZipInfo objects have several attributes that allow you to retrieve valuable information about the target member file. For example, .file_size and .compress_size hold the size, in bytes, of the original and compressed files, respectively. The class also has some other useful attributes, such as .filename and .date_time, which return the filename and the last modification date.

To use .read(), you need to open the ZIP file for reading or appending. Note that .read() returns the content of the target file as a stream of bytes. In this example, you use .split() to split the stream into lines, using the line feed character "\n" as a separator. Because .split() is operating on a byte object, you need to add a leading b to the string used as an argument.

In the first example, you provide the password secret to read your encrypted file. The pwd argument accepts values of the bytes type. If you use .read() on an encrypted file without providing the required password, then you get a RuntimeError, as you can note in the second example.

In the first code snippet, you open sample.zip in append mode ("a"). Then you create new_hello.txt by calling .open() with the "w" mode. This function returns a file-like object that supports .write(), which allows you to write bytes into the newly created file.

In this example, you write b'Hello, World!' into new_hello.txt. When the execution flow exits the inner with statement, Python writes the input bytes to the member file. When the outer with statement exits, Python writes new_hello.txt to the underlying ZIP file, sample.zip.

As you learned in the above section, you can use the .read() and .write() methods to read from and write to member files without extracting them from the containing ZIP archive. Both of these methods work exclusively with bytes.

Because ZipFile.read() returns the content of the target member file as bytes, .decode() can operate on these bytes directly. The .decode() method decodes a bytes object into a string using a given character encoding format.

In this example, you read the content of hello.txt as bytes. Then you call .decode() to decode the bytes into a string using UTF-8 as encoding. To set the encoding argument, you use the "utf-8" string. However, you can use any other valid encoding, such as UTF-16 or cp1252, which can be represented as case-insensitive strings. Note that "utf-8" is the default value of the encoding argument to .decode().

The malware launches a thread that writes 136 bytes to 00000000.res every 25 seconds. The buffer written includes the current time of the system. If the file 00000000.res does not exist while the malware is initializing, it creates the file. The initial contents begins with eight randomly generated bytes followed by 128 zero bytes.

When selecting which files to encrypt, the malware skips over files with .exe, .dll, and .wncry extensions. The files with the extensions shown in Figure 7 are selected for encryption. Files larger than 209,715,200 bytes may also be encrypted.

When a directory contains a file that will be encrypted, the malware copies @Please_Read_Me@.txt and @WanaDecryptor@.exe to the directory. It verifies that the first eight bytes do not contain the string WANACRY! and performs additional checks on the header to verify the file is not already encrypted.

When encrypting the AES key with RSA, the malware may use the embedded RSA key or a key randomly generated. If the file f.wnry does not exist during initilazation, the malware generates a random number if the file size is less than 209,715,200 bytes. If the number is a multiple of 100, the malware uses the embedded RSA key to encrypt the AES key. A maximum of ten files can be encrypted with this key. When an AES key is encrypted with this RSA key, the malware writes the file path to the file f.wnry. If the random number is not a multiple of 100 or the file f.wnry already exists on the system, the malware will encrypt the AES key with the randomly generated RSA key.

The malware sends the first eight bytes of the file 00000000.res, the host name, user name and the string "+++" to the Onion server. The command and control protocol appears to be custom and XOR encoded with a randomly generated buffer.

Every file on a computer uses a certain amount of resources when sent over the internet or stored. Keeping mind of your kilobytes (kB) and megabytes (MB) can prevent problems and produce a smoother online experience. This GreenNet guide is here to help you tell the whales from the minnows.

(To confuse matters, "1 KB" or "1K" is used by many computer people to mean 1024 bytes, which is a convenient number in binary, and memory or disk is often allocated by operating systems in units of 1024. To avoid this confusion with standard scientific usage of "mega-" and so on, the terms "kibibyte" (KiB), "mebibyte" (MiB), "gibibyte" (GiB) and "tebibyte" are now recommended for these non-decimal technical units. You might still feel short-changed if you bought a 4GB flash drive and it's only 3.725GiB. For simplicity this article will stick to round 1000s and kilobytes [kB].) 041b061a72
