peepdf -> pyv8 not installable on remnux about salt-states HOT 17 CLOSED

Hi @mischuwe , I'll take a look at it and see what can be done!

Dear @digitalsleuth, that would be grate, thank you.

Hi @mischuwe , this will be a bit of a bigger issue to resolve, as peepdf is currently written for Python 2, and PyV8 no longer supports Python 2. However, I am working on a Python 3 version of peepdf which will utilize STPyV8 in its place.

That will take a little time, so for the time being, we won't necessarily be able to resolve this issue with peepdf right away.

Hi @mischuwe , sorry for the delay on getting back to you with this. I've just recently finished re-building peepdf on Python 3 and will be submitting a PR shortly to include this.

Cheers!

Hello @digitalsleuth, great news, thank you very much. Im really looking forward to use it :)

@mischuwe peepdf is now available on REMnux. You can either install the package separately, or run the upgrade option with the installer. Since there has been a recent update to the version of SaltStack which we are using, I would recommend downloading the newest CLI first here, then running the upgrade command.

Cheers!

@digitalsleuth You are great…

@digitalsleuth to follow up on this, FireEye made a fork off of the old pyv8 that they are maintaining called STPyV8 over at https://github.com/cloudflare/stpyv8. I just did the install and it worked after a few missteps. FYI cloning the git and trying to do a build does not work. You need to pull the Releases mentioned under Installing section of the README and follow those steps to get it to actually install. And you also have to make sure to pull a release related to the version of Python3 you are running. I also made the mistake of pulling the most current update which didn't work then I realized that it was for Python3.9 and I have 3.8 running.
Initial test run of peepdf does not recognize Pyv8 even though some of the peepdf scripts do have

import STPyv8 as PyV8

built into them. But I also installed STPyV8 using my local user account and not as sudo. So not sure if that may affect it being able to work with peepdf.
Just something for you to mess with if you have some time to tweak the peepdf fork you maintain. Maybe see if you can integrate it as a permanent thing if you like.
Cheers!

Hi @geeksailor , yes I am using STPyV8 in peepdf-3 already as you've seen, and it installs in REMnux as part of the peepdf-3 install.

If you're having an issue with peepdf-3 recognizing STPyV8 over an existing PyV8 installation, let me know on the Issues page of peepdf-3 and I'll be happy to take a look!

Cheers, and thanks for following up on this!

@digitalsleuth I did notice for the Remnux install the salt sources STPyV8 from https://github.com/area1/stpyv8/releases/download/ for STPyv8 which then forwards to the CloudFlare git page. But when I checked that page, it does not exist. The link to source its updates may need to be updated.

@digitalsleuth Sounds good. Let me do some poking around really quick to make sure it isn't something on my end and then I'll drop a ticket on it.

@digitalsleuth I did notice for the Remnux install the salt sources STPyV8 from https://github.com/area1/stpyv8/releases/download/ for STPyv8 which then forwards to the CloudFlare git page. But when I checked that page, it does not exist. The link to source its updates may need to be updated.

@geeksailor The actual reference in the state is:
https://github.com/area1/stpyv8/releases/download/{{ version }}/{{ release }}
Where {{ version }} translates from the Jinja variable version as "v10.1.124.12" and {{ release }} translates from the Jinja variable release which is dependent on the Ubuntu version running the state. For focal, release is "stpyv8-ubuntu-20.04-python-3.8.zip".

So the actual URL is:
https://github.com/area1/stpyv8/releases/download/v10.1.124.12/stpyv8-ubuntu-20.04-python-3.8.zip

Since the URL is still redirecting from its original source (github.com/area1/stpyv8) to the cloudflare version, it hasn't required updating the URL, however since it is a bit misleading, I'll update it shortly.

Cheers!

@digitalsleuth Oh OK. Just as long it is working, either way works. I just wanted to just make sure that the source hadn't dried up on the project and it was trying to pull updates from a bad source.

from salt-states.

@geeksailor Just as an FYI, I've submitted #263 to address the latest version and source URL.

@digitalsleuth Thanks mate!
