Need help with python script

[proskater123]

So I found this script to decrypt a netgear cfg file. But when i try to run the script it comes up with a bunch of errors. Can someone look at the script and possibly fix the issues? I know nothing about python.

import pyDes
import os, sys

# Encryption key is a slightly variation of "NtgrBak"
KEY = [0x56-8, 0x74, 0x67, 0x72, 0x42, 0x61, 0x6b, 0x00]

def derive_des_key(ascii_key):
def extract_by_offset(offset):
byte_index = offset >> 3
bit_index = byte_index << 3

v0 = (ascii_key[byte_index] << 8) | ascii_key[byte_index+1]
v1 = 8 - (offset - bit_index)
v0 >>= v1
return v0 & 0xfe

k = ""
for i in range(0, 7*8, 7):
k += chr(extract_by_offset(i))
return k

def decrypt_block(block, key_bytes):
k = derive_des_key(key_bytes)
des = pyDes.des(k, pyDes.ECB)
r = des.decrypt(block)
return r

def main():
data = sys.stdin.read()
assert (len(data) % 8) == 0

current_key = KEY[:]

r = ""
for i in range(0, len(data), 8):
current_key[0] += 8
if current_key[0] > 0xff:
current_key[0] = current_key[0] - 0x100
current_key[1] += 1

block = data[i:i+8]
d = decrypt_block(block, current_key)

r += d

sys.stdout.write(r)

Can you post the errors please?

[proskater123]

I took out the <cut> and </cut> cause I do beileve that they are not needed. Then when I run the script in windows

C:/python puthonscript.py

File "pythonscript.py", Line 8

Def extract_by_offset(offset):

/\

IndentationError: expected an indent block

[Mr-Protocol]

It also helps if you put the script in code brackets, but based off that error, it seems you have an indenting issue. Python uses indents to break out functions, and other languages like C use {}. But python only uses indents so you have to watch your spacing. (I am not well versed in Python, but I know a little bit)

[proskater123]

Thats my problem as well. I have no idea how to work with python. Thats why I am here :(

Hey thanks that kinda helped. Lets see if i understand what it said

[Sebkinne]

It seems to me like you have no indentation at all.

Make sure to format into the correct code blocks and it will run.

Also, doesn't the top of the script need to be defined? Like bash shell scripts?

#!/usr/local/bin/python
# change above line to point to local 
# python executable

or

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pyDes
import os, sys

## Encryption key is a slightly variation of "NtgrBak"
KEY = [0x56-8, 0x74, 0x67, 0x72, 0x42, 0x61, 0x6b, 0x00]

def derive_des_key(ascii_key):
def extract_by_offset(offset):
byte_index = offset >> 3
bit_index = byte_index << 3

v0 = (ascii_key[byte_index] << 8) | ascii_key[byte_index+1]
v1 = 8 - (offset - bit_index)
v0 >>= v1
return v0 & 0xfe

k = ""
for i in range(0, 7*8, 7):
k += chr(extract_by_offset(i))
return k

def decrypt_block(block, key_bytes):
k = derive_des_key(key_bytes)
des = pyDes.des(k, pyDes.ECB)
r = des.decrypt(block)
return r

def main():
data = sys.stdin.read()
assert (len(data) % 8) == 0

current_key = KEY[:]

r = ""
for i in range(0, len(data), 8):
current_key[0] += 8
if current_key[0] > 0xff:
current_key[0] = current_key[0] - 0x100
current_key[1] += 1

block = data[i:i+8]
d = decrypt_block(block, current_key)

r += d

sys.stdout.write(r)
### Leave two empty lines at end of script, not sure of required by Python like other shell scripts or not, don't quote me on that

edit: just noticed you said windows, so above for linux, not going to work, but even still wouldn't you need cygwin or something like that and still have to define the python path, or does that not apply under windows? Edited June 8, 2013 by digip

[proskater123]

You can run python on windows you just have to define the paths or run it under the python directory using the python.exe

So this is what I have came up with so far.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pyDes
import os, sys

# Encryption key is a slightly variation of "NtgrBak"
KEY = [0x56-8, 0x74, 0x67, 0x72, 0x42, 0x61, 0x6b, 0x00]

def derive_des_key(ascii_key):
def extract_by_offset(offset):
byte_index = offset >> 3
bit_index = byte_index << 3

v0 = (ascii_key[byte_index] << 8) | ascii_key[byte_index+1]
v1 = 8 - (offset - bit_index)
v0 >>= v11
return v0 & 0xfe

k = ""
for i in range(0, 7*8, 7):
k += chr(extract_by_offset(i))
return k

def decrypt_block(block, key_bytes):
k = derive_des_key(key_bytes)
des = pyDes.des(k, pyDes.ECB)
r = des.decrypt(block)
return r

def main():
data = sys.stdin.read()
assert (len(data) % 8) == 0

current_key = KEY[:]

r = ""
for i in range(0, len(data), 8):
current_key[0] += 8
if current_key[0] > 0xff:
current_key[0] = current_key[0] - 0x100
current_key[1] += 1

block = data[i:i+8]
d = decrypt_block(block, current_key)

r += d

sys.stdout.write®
