Deadlock in Berkeley DB? - deadlock

I'm using berkeley db to store 100 milion keys and theirs values. There is one instance of berkeley db on the server. One writer adds and removes records and five readers (five independent applications) read proper values.
Sometimes one of my readers stucks and I have to kill it and run it again. I attached to it using gdb:
[Switching to LWP 100674 of process 54232]
0x0000000000886771 in __lock_ohash ()
(gdb) where
#0 0x0000000000886771 in __lock_ohash ()
#1 0x000000000087a1c4 in __lock_get_internal ()
#2 0x00000000008793d4 in __lock_vec ()
#3 0x000000000078e094 in __db_lget ()
#4 0x00000000007ff26d in __bam_search ()
#5 0x00000000007f07f6 in __bamc_search ()

#9 0x0000000000762a5a in Dbc::get(Dbt*, Dbt*, unsigned int) ()
...
Why does it stuck in __lock_ohash() function? When it stucks the whole application freezes until I kill it. Is it a deadlock? Why database does not manage and solve it?

Decrypt Word document knowing part of its content

I have a ciphered .docx document I would like to recover and I don't remember the password. I'm trying brute-forcing it but it's taking way too long, so it's not going to be option. However, I know the exact content of part of it (296 characters). Any help?
Unfortunately, part of the document wouldn't help.
To get to the cleartext, any cracker would still need to go through trying to crack the password hash that is exported from the document, and with your logic try to decrypt the file and interpret it's content, compare it to the known cleartext. There is no such funcitonality, especially for specialized document formats.
Here is an example how to approach it:
Document: encrypted_doc.docx
Password: 123horse123
You will have to use office2john to export the hash to be cracked from the document.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/bleeding-jumbo/run/office2john.py
python office2john.py encrypted_doc.docx > doc_pass_hash.txt
cat doc_pass_hash.txt
encrypted_doc.docx:$**office$*2013***100000*256*16*e77e386a8e68462d2a0a703718febbc9*08ee275ccf4946ae0e5922e9ff3114b7*0ab5fc00964f7ed4be9e45c77a33b441b2c4874d28e4bc30f38e99bfb169fcf4
Remembering some information about the password(complexity, some chosen words if any, character set etc.) mask attack could help you run a more effective way to uncover the document.
Run hashcat --help to see which document file are you dealing with:
9700 | MS Office <= 2003 $0/$1, MD5 + RC4 | Documents
9710 | MS Office <= 2003 $0/$1, MD5 + RC4, collider #1 | Documents
9720 | MS Office <= 2003 $0/$1, MD5 + RC4, collider #2 | Documents
9800 | MS Office <= 2003 $3/$4, SHA1 + RC4 | Documents
9810 | MS Office <= 2003 $3, SHA1 + RC4, collider #1 | Documents
9820 | MS Office <= 2003 $3, SHA1 + RC4, collider #2 | Documents
9400 | MS Office 2007 | Documents
9500 | MS Office 2010 | Documents
9600 | MS Office 2013 | Documents
Based on what you can recall from the password, you can choose from the following:
- [ Attack Modes ] -
# | Mode
===+======
0 | Straight
1 | Combination
3 | Brute-force
6 | Hybrid Wordlist + Mask
7 | Hybrid Mask + Wordlist
Here are the options for hashcat to specify the password:
?l = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
?u = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
?d = 0123456789
?h = 0123456789abcdef
?H = 0123456789ABCDEF
?s = «space»!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?#[\]^_`{|}~
?a = ?l?u?d?s
?b = 0x00 - 0xff
You can also create your own dictionary, which then will be used when generating the passwords, if you remember at least part of the password. This can be the most efficient help.
So in my example, let's run a brute force attack with mask(3 digits, 5 alphabetical characters, and another 3 digits):
hashcat -m 9600 -a 3 doc_pass_hash.txt --username -o cracked_pass.txt ?d?d?d?l?l?l?l?l?d?d?d --force
You can hit [s] for status:

As you see, this one doesn't seem to be very effective (Time.Estimated...: Next Big Bang (17614 years, 157 days)), however, adding a wordlist is a good idea:
cat wordlist.txt
dog

As we see this is not yet correct, as the candidates generate prior the mask. So this needs some more tweaking.
Masks you can define specific characters as well, for instance:

There is more to be read about rules and cracking with increased password lenght (--incremental) and combined attacks, but you get the idea.

JavaFx Scenebuilder.exe won't start and it looks like the included JVM won't run. How can I fix it?

Scenebuilder.exe will not start on my new PC either from IntelliJ, Windows explorer, or command line. It gives no errors and terminates instantly. On a hunch I tried running the included JVM in
C:\Program Files\SceneBuilder\runtime\bin
java --version
I get the log below and it shows an access exception that looks like a bug in the underlying JVM itself, not in the execution of the SceneBuilder code. I've been running JDK 11 on this AMD Ryzen just fine, and there are no DLLs sneaking in that do not belong there. I need help, thanks!

Complex select in SQLite view

I have two tables where Security holds the access bit mask for a given NTFS file system scan and FileSystemRights which equates to the string representations for the well known bit masks. I need to create a view which exposes the expected (not just proper) string representations for a given bit mask. The problem is several enum values composite and contain combinations of lower values, so the desired idea is not to repeat the implicit values.
For example, a value of 1179817 (Security.Id = 24) should only report ReadAndExecute and Synchronize, excluding ExecuteFile, ListDirectory, Read, ReadAttributes, ReadData, ReadExtendedAttributes, ReadPermissions and Traverse, as those are all part of ReadAndExecute (eg. ReadAndExecute & Read == Read). Its obviously correct to show them all, but a user wants only to see the non implicit values.
I'm lost within the constraints of SQL to produce a join that behaves like this without some abysmal nested case that would be a nightmare to look at.
Does a better programmatic approach exist?

Can two Unix processes simultaneous write to different positions in a single file?

This is an unresolved exam question of mine.
Can two Unix processes simultaneous write to different positions
in a single file?
Yes, the two processes will have their own file table entries
no, the shared i-node contains a single offset pointer
only one process will have write privilege
yes, but only if we operate using NFS
There is no file offset recorded in an inode so answer 2. is incorrect.
There is no documented reason for a process to have its access rights modified so 3. is incorrect.
NFS allows simultaneous access by processes on different hosts, the question here is for processes on the same host so NFS shouldn't make a difference.
Here is a shell script demonstrating the remaining answer 1. is correct:
# create a 10m file
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/file bs=1024k count=10
# create two 1 MB files
cd /tmp
printf "aaaaaaaa" > aa
printf "bbbbbbbb" > bb
i=0
while [ $i -lt 17 ]; do
cat aa aa > aa.new && mv aa.new aa
cat bb bb > bb.new && mv bb.new bb
i=$((i+1))
done
ls -lG /var/tmp/file /tmp/aa /tmp/bb
# launch 10 processes that will write at different locations in the same file.
# Uses dd notrunc option for the file not to be truncated
# Uses GNU dd fdatasync option for unbuffered writes
i=0
while [ $i -lt 5 ]; do
(
dd if=/tmp/aa of=/var/tmp/file conv=notrunc,fdatasync bs=1024k count=1 seek=$((i*2)) 2>/dev/null &
dd if=/tmp/bb of=/var/tmp/file conv=notrunc,fdatasync bs=1024k count=1 seek=$((i*2+1)) 2>/dev/null &
) &
i=$((i+1))
done
# Check concurrency
printf "\n%d processes are currently writing to /var/tmp/file\n" "$(fuser /var/tmp/file 2>/dev/null | wc -w)"
# Wait for write completion and check file contents
wait
printf "/var/tmp/file contains:\n"
od -c /var/tmp/file
Its output shows ten processes successfully and simultaneously write to the very same file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jlliagre 1048576 oct. 30 08:25 /tmp/aa
-rw-r--r-- 1 jlliagre 1048576 oct. 30 08:25 /tmp/bb
-rw-r--r-- 1 jlliagre 10485760 oct. 30 08:25 /var/tmp/file
10 processes are currently writing to /var/tmp/file
/var/tmp/file contains:

Definition:
Yes, the two processes will have their own file table entries.
If the file is opened twice with the open function the two file descriptor is created.
Each file descriptor have seperate file status flags.
So the two file descriptor have a write permission file descriptor1 and file descriptor2 have initial position of point to first character to file.
If we specify some position to both descriptor and write in file it can be tested easily.
The content of file.txt
My name is Chandru. This is an empty file.
Coding for testing:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
main()
{
int fd1, fd2;
if((fd1=open("file.txt", O_WRONLY)) <0){
perror("Error");
exit(0);
}
if((fd2=open("file.txt", O_WRONLY)) < 0) {
perror("Error");
exit(0);
}
if(lseek(fd1,20,SEEK_SET) != 20)
{
printf("Cannot seek\n");
exit(0);
}
if(write(fd1,"testing",7) != 7)
{
printf("Error write\n");
exit(0);
}
if(lseek(fd2,10,SEEK_SET) != 10)
{
printf("Cannot seek\n");
exit(0);
}
if(write(fd2,"condition",9) != 9)
{
printf("Error write\n");
exit(0);
}
}
Output:
After that my output is

Yes, they can of course, with the following caveats:
Depending on open() mode, one process can easily wipe the file contents
Depending on scheduling, the order of write operations is not deterministic
There is no mandatory locking (in general) - careful design calls for advisory locking.
If they write in the same area using buffered I/O results can be non-deterministic.

Programming Logic - Splitting up Tasks Between Threads

Lets say you want 5 threads to process data simultaneous. Also assume, you have 89 tasks to process.
Off the bat you know 89 / 5 = 17 with a remainder of 4. The best way to split up tasks would be to have 4 (the remainder) threads process 18 (17+1) tasks each and then have 1 (# threads - remainder) thread to process 17.
This will eliminate the remainder. Just to verify:
Thread 1: Tasks 1-18 (18 tasks)
Thread 2: Tasks 19-36 (18 tasks)
Thread 3: Tasks 37-54 (18 tasks)
Thread 4: Tasks 55-72 (18 tasks)
Thread 5: Tasks 73-89 (17 tasks)
Giving you a total of 89 tasks completed.
I need a way of getting the start and ending range of each thread mathematically/programmability; where the following should print the exact thing I have listed above:
$NumTasks = 89
$NumThreads = 5
$Remainder = $NumTasks % $NumThreads
$DefaultNumTasksAssigned = floor($NumTasks / $NumThreads)
For $i = 1 To $NumThreads
if $i <= $Remainder Then
$NumTasksAssigned = $DefaultNumTasksAssigned + 1
else
$NumTasksAssigned = $DefaultNumTasksAssigned
endif
$Start = ??????????
$End = ??????????
print Thread $i: Tasks $Start-$End ($NumTasksAssigned tasks)
Next
This should also work for any number of $NumTasks.
Note: Please stick to answering the math at hand and avoid suggesting or assuming the situation.
Why? Rather then predetermining the scheduling order, stick all of the tasks on a queue, and then have each thread pull them off one by one when they're ready. Then your tasks will basically run "as fast as possible".
If you pre-allocated, then one thread may be doing a particularly long bit of processing and blocking the running of all the tasks stuck behind it. Using the queue, as each task finishes and a thread frees up, it grabs the next task and keeps going.
Think of it like a bank with 1 line per teller vs one line and a lot of tellers. In the former, you might get stuck behind the person depositing coins and counting it out one by one, the latter you get to the next available teller, while Mr. PocketChange counts away.
I second Will Hartung 's remark. You may just feed them one task at a time (or a few tasks at a at a time, depending if there's much overhead, i.e. if individual tasks get typically completed very fast, relative to the cost of starting/recycling threads). Your subsequent comments effectively explain that your "threads" carry a heavy creation cost, and hence your desire to feed them once with as much work as possible, rather than wasting time creating new "thread" each fed a small amount of work.
Anyway... going to the math question...
If you'd like to assign tasks just once, the following formula, plugged in lieu of the the ????????? in your logic, should do the trick:
$Start = 1
+ (($i -1) * ($DefaultNumTasksAssigned + 1)
- (floor($i / ($Remainder + 1)) * ($i - $Remainder))
$End = $Start + $NumTasksAssigned -1
The formula is explained as follow:
1 is for the fact that your display / logic is one-based not zero-based
The second term is because we generally add ($DefaultNumTasksAssigned + 1) with each iteration.
The third term provides a correction for the last few iterations.
Its first part, (floor($i / ($Remainder + 1)) provides 0 until $i reaches the first thread
that doesn't receive one extra task, and 1 thereafter.
The second part express by how much we need to correct.
The formula for $End is easier, the only trick is the minus 1, it is because the Start and End values are inclusive (so for example between 1 an 19 there are 19 tasks not 18)
The following slightly modified piece of logic should also work, it avoids the "fancy" formula by keeping a running tab of the $Start variable, rather than recomputing it each time..
$NumTasks = 89
$NumThreads = 5
$Remainder = $NumTasks % $NumThreads
$DefaultNumTasksAssigned = floor($NumTasks / $NumThreads)
$Start = 1
For $i = 1 To $NumThreads
if $i <= $Remainder Then // fixed here! need <= because $i is one-based
$NumTasksAssigned = $DefaultNumTasksAssigned + 1
else
$NumTasksAssigned = $DefaultNumTasksAssigned
endif
$End = $Start + $NumTasksAssigned -1
print Thread $i: Tasks $Start-$End ($NumTasksAssigned tasks)
$Start = $Start + $NumTasksAssigned
Next
Here's a Python transcription of the above

I think you've solved the wrong half of your problem.
It's going to be virtually impossible to precisely determine the time it will take to complete all your tasks, unless all of the following are true:
your tasks are 100% CPU-bound: that is, they use 100% CPU while running and don't need to do any I/O
none of your tasks have to synchronize with any of your other tasks in any way
you have exactly as many threads as you have CPUs
the computer that is running these tasks is not performing any other interesting tasks at the same time
In practice, most of the time, your tasks are I/O-bound rather than CPU-bound: that is, you are waiting for some external resource such as reading from a file, fetching from a database, or communicating with a remote computer. In that case, you only make things worse by adding more threads, because they're all contending for the same scarce resource.
Finally, unless you have some really weird hardware, it's unlikely you can actually have exactly five threads running simultaneously. (Usually processor configurations come in multiples of at least two.) Usually the sweet spot is at about 1 thread per CPU if your tasks are very CPU-bound, about 2 threads per CPU if the tasks spend half their time being CPU-bound and half their time doing IO, etc.
tl;dr: We need to know a lot more about what your tasks and hardware look like before we can advise you on this question.
