Obfuscated code!

Obfuscated codes are ways to make the cracker go mad!
Or mabbe it could take your sleep away..
trying to crack these are really cool..

Here's the world famous obfuscated code in C..

#include <stdio.h>
main(t,_,a)char *a;{return!0<t?t<3?main(-79,-13,a+main(-87,1-_,
main(-86,0,a+1)+a)):1,t<_?main(t+1,_,a):3,main(-94,-27+t,a)&&t==2?_<13? main(2,_+1,"%s %d %d\n"):9:16:t<0?t<-72?main(_,t, "@n'+,#'/*{}w+/w#cdnr/+,{}r/*de}+,/*{*+,/w{%+,/w#q#n+,/#{l,+,/n{n+,/+#n+,/#\ ;#q#n+,/+k#;*+,/'r :'d*'3,}{w+K w'K:'+}e#';dq#'l \ q#'+d'K#!/+k#;q#'r}eKK#}w'r}eKK{nl]'/#;#q#n'){)#}w'){){nl]'/+#n';d}rw' i;# \ ){nl]!/n{n#'; r{#w'r nc{nl]'/#{l,+'K {rw' iK{;[{nl]'/w#q#n'wk nw' \ iwk{KK{nl]!/w{%'l##w#' i; :{nl]'/*{q#'ld;r'}{nlwb!/*de}'c \ ;;{nl'-{}rw]'/+,}##'*}#nc,',#nw]'/+kd'+e}+;#'rdq#w! nr'/ ') }+}{rl#'{n' ')# \ }'+}##(!!/") :t<-50?_==*a?putchar(31[a]):main(-65,_,a+1):main((*a=='/')+t,_,a+1) :0<t?main(2,2,"%s"):*a=='/'||main(0,main(-61,*a, "!ek;dc i@bK'(q)-[w]*%n+r3#l,{}:\nuwloca-O;m .vpbks,fxntdCeghiry"),a+1);}


You could even write obfuscated code in Python!! It's there in python website..
You could write obfuscated code in any language..though it's easier writing in low level and middle level languages..
A novice could find the basic steps in wikipedia...

This is a one in python from the python website..

MyCrawler

Well, I thought of sharing the crawler that I wrote!!

'''
Created on Nov 16, 2009
My very first, very own Crawler in Python !!
@author: Anish Rajan Kurian
'''
from sys import argv # Gets the argument(starting url),
from random import random # Random number appended to file name
from urlparse import urlsplit # Split the url for the filename
from htmllib import HTMLParser # Parse html to obtain the anchors
from urllib import urlretrieve # Retrieve the url n save it
from urllib2 import urlopen # Open the url !
from formatter import NullFormatter # Sends a Null Formatter to the parser

The crawler which initially starts with the user provided url
Then saves the page
Then crawls through that page to find more URLs

Alternately,
Run directly by adding

Now that you are clear with the usage, next time you can run without

Anyways, for now..

Google's Go

Well, Google is out with it's Go language.
There are hell lotta blogs on this but still I thought of scribbling my thoughts on Go..
The question is, will Go be the next choice of system programmers?
Is it really a language worth much hype? "Google's language" after all..
That too with lotta geniuses like Ken Thomson behind it..

I really couldn't find much similarity between Go and Python..[They say go = python + c]
They claim it to be simple.. mabbe for existing C++ programmers..yea, Go might be perfect for existing C++ programmers to migrate..since keeps a hold on pointers and performs garbage collection and stuff..

And why is google bringing out a systems programming language when they themselves are into development of the "web OS", Chrome OS ?

PyLint

Well, I just used PyLint and found out that my Python programs scored just around 4 outta 10.
Well, I got em to be 10 outta 10.
Now my code follows PEP 8, I guess.

Tried some cgi scripts too on resin server.

Python Craze

It's been a couple of weeks since I am crazy about Python.
Don't really know what it has got but I'm simply loving it.
Really disappointed in missing the PyCon India 2009. :(
Wrote a couple of python progs including a quine and a crawler.
A crawler in python is like a Hello World in other languages I guess. ;)
Anyways, got a long way to go with Python.
