I've come across a problem while uncompressing a stream of bytes that are previously compressed. Basically, I'm trying to create a Reader using the function bytes.NewReader() and then to unzip the stream by using gzip.NewReader() function. At last, I'd like to return the real values in either string or byte format.
I know gzip.NewReader requires io.Reader as an input, however, as far as I know, type Reader implements the interface io.Reader. I assume this should not cause any errors but I wonder what might be the problem in this case. I'd really appreciate if you help me out with this!
In case you wonder what this piece of text is,
"amZzRUR2NHVtcVpiZHNROHJiTTNYeGdUSndGTlVDZC9jaElSK1lXcFlJOD0="
it's a sample input sent from my client python script. It compresses by using gzip, does encryption by using AES128 and finally encodes in base64, in this order.
The client code:
import time
import json
import requests
import random
import gzip
import base64
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
baseurl = 'http://0.0.0.0:80'
key = 'TfvY7I358yospfWKcoviZizOShpm5hyH'
iv = 'mb13KcoviZizvYhp'
MODE = AES.MODE_CFB
BLOCK_SIZE = 16
SEGMENT_SIZE = 128
def http_post(url, data):
print('Going to make a request to {} with the following data: {}'.format(url, data))
r = requests.post(url,
data=data,
headers={'Content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Connection': 'keep-alive'}, )
if r.status_code != 200:
print('Server returned unexpected response code {}, and content: {}'.format(r.status_code, r.content))
return False
else:
data = r.json()
return data
def post_sample_data(key, iv):
fake_device_id = "MB88"
Load_VA_Total_Mean = random.randint(1000, 100000)
print('Data that should come back: {}'.format(Load_VA_Total_Mean))
data = {'i': fake_device_id, 'p': [
{'d': [54.3, 0, 99, 49.35, 3, 99, 51.533, 1, 98, 28964, 7348, 43590, Load_VA_Total_Mean, 10350, 55200, 49.7],
't': time.time(), 'dt': 'p'}]}
url = baseurl + '/realtimedata'
encryption_key_reference = 1
payload = '{}
{}'.format(convert_pack(data, key, iv), encryption_key_reference)
return http_post(url, payload)
def convert_pack(inputdict, key, iv):
jsonpayload = json.dumps(inputdict) # encode dict to json string
gzippayload = gzip.compress(jsonpayload.encode('utf-8')) # compress with gzip
encryptedpayload = base64.b64encode(encrypt(key, iv, message))
encoded = base64.b64encode(encryptedpayload)
print('encoded: {}'.format(encoded))
return str(encoded, encoding='utf-8')
def _pad_string(value):
length = len(value)
pad_size = BLOCK_SIZE - (length % BLOCK_SIZE)
return value.ljust(length + pad_size, '\x00')
def encrypt(key, iv, plaintext):
aes = AES.new(key, MODE, iv, segment_size=SEGMENT_SIZE)
plaintext = _pad_string(plaintext)
encrypted_text = aes.encrypt(plaintext)
return encrypted_text
post_sample_data(key, iv)
The server code:
package main
import (
"crypto/aes"
"crypto/cipher"
"crypto/rand"
"encoding/base64"
"fmt"
"io"
"compress/gzip"
"io/ioutil"
"bytes"
)
func main() {
receivedText := "amZzRUR2NHVtcVpiZHNROHJiTTNYeGdUSndGTlVDZC9jaElSK1lXcFlJOD0="
fmt.Println("encrypted + encoded + gzipped: ", originalText)
key := []byte("TfvY7I358yospfWKcoviZizOShpm5hyH")
text := decrypt(key, originalText)
fmt.Println("decrypted: ", string(text))
reader := bytes.NewReader(text)
gzReader, err1 := gzip.NewReader(reader)
fmt.Println(gzReader)
if err1 != nil {
fmt.Println("error1")
}
content, err2 := ioutil.ReadAll(gzReader)
if err2 != nil {
fmt.Println("error2")
}
fmt.Println(string(content))
}
func decrypt(key []byte, cryptoText string) []byte {
ciphertext, _ := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(cryptoText)
fmt.Println("decoded: ", string(ciphertext))
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
iv := []byte("mb13KcoviZizvYhp")
stream := cipher.NewCFBDecrypter(block, iv)
stream.XORKeyStream(ciphertext, ciphertext)
return ciphertext
}
The output:
