This is the cop's thread of a challenge. You can view the robber's thread here

A pretty common beginner style question is to print some string, but there's a catch! You need to do it without using any of the characters in the string itself!

For this challenge, we will find out who is the best at printing X without X. There are two threads to this, a cop's thread and a robber's thread.

In the cop's thread (this thread), users will choose a language (which we will call Y) and a string (which we will call X) and write a program in language Y which takes no input, and outputs exactly X without using any of the characters in X. The cop will then post both X and Y without revealing the program they have written.

Robbers will select the cop's answers and write programs in language Y which take no input and output X. They will post these "cracks" as answers in their thread. A crack need only work, not to be the intended solution.

Once a cop's answer is one week old, so long as it has not been cracked, the cop may reveal their program and mark it as "safe". Safe answers can no longer be cracked and are eligible for scoring.

Cops will be scored by length of X in characters with smaller scores being better. Only safe answers are eligible for scoring.

Extra Rules

You may be as specific or precise in choosing your language as you wish. For example you may say your language is Python, or Python 3, Python 3.9 (pre-release), or even point to a specific implementation. Robber's solutions need only work in one implementation of the given language. So, for example, if you say Python is your language, a robber's crack is not required to work in all versions of Python, only one.

Since command line flags and repls count as different languages, if your language is one of those then you should indicate that as at least a possible option for the language. For ease of use, I ask that you assume there are no command line flags in cases where command line flags are not mentioned.

You may choose to have your output as an error. If your intended solution does output as an error, you must indicate this in your answer.

Python 3.7, Score: 7, Cracked by Ethan White

(nuvwxy

Inspired by Tips for restricted source in Python.

This should block eval and exec, function calls that don't use the __class_getitem__ trick, and most forms of output (print, write, etc.)

My solution only uses ASCII characters.

My Solution

class C:__class_getitem__=chr
class D:__class_getitem__=dir
class M:__class_getitem__=__import__
    
code = M[C[99]+C[111]+C[100]+C[101]]  # Import code
i_spect = M[C[105]+C[110]+C[115]+C[112]+C[101]+C[99]+C[116]]  # Import inspect
    
I = code.__dict__[D[code][2]]  # I = code.InteractiveInterpreter
class A:__class_getitem__=I.__call__
e = A[{}]  # Instantiate InteractiveInterpreter({})
    
class S:__class_getitem__=i_spect.getmembers.__call__
class R:__class_getitem__=S[e][28][1]  # Get the runcode method

z=C[112]+C[114]+C[105]+C[110]+C[116]+C[40]+C[34]+C[92]+C[34]+C[39]+C[40]+C[110]+C[117]+C[118]+C[119]+C[120]+C[121]+C[34]+C[41]

R[z]  # Run the constructed print statement

My approach was to use code.InteractiveInterpreter().runcode() as an alternate version of exec. Since I blocked n, I couldn't type that class or method directly, so I imported InteractiveInterpreter and inspect by constructing strings and passing them to __import__, then used dir and inspect.getmembers to get the runcode method, then passed in a string to execute.

I had a lot of fun coming up with this convoluted approach, but I didn't realize timeit was a much simpler version of exec that avoided this complexity, and there's no way to block timeit without also blocking __class_getitem__.

"+. p\{

Earlier versions may work too, like 0.25 and 0.24, but I'm not totally sure how low you can go, since Dotty's features keep changing.

Harder version, score: 8 (I still had the same solution for this, but the one above may have alternate cracks, and this doesn't allow them, hopefully.)

"+. p\{[

Update

Since my answer's over a week old now, here's the solution I got (I'm sure it could be made shorter, but whatever)

object`Main`:
    @main
    def`main`=(Console`out`)write(new`String`()concat((34`toChar`)toString)concat((43`toChar`)toString)concat((46`toChar`)toString)concat((32`toChar`)toString)concat((112`toChar`)toString)concat((92`toChar`)toString)concat((123`toChar`)toString)getBytes)

I basically just used concat instead of +, xx.toChar.toString to get around the ", postfix and infix syntax to get around the ., and the backtick to get around the restriction on spaces.

A couple Dotty-specific features that helped: @main meant I didn't have to write (args: Array[String]), saving me [, and Dotty's new indentation-based syntax let's you use : instead of curly braces. Note that even though you see spaces here and in the playground, Dotty does let you use tabs.

Try it in Scastie

Bonus (the same thing, but no parentheses this time)

"+. p\{(

Here's my solution to it (unfortunately, the backticks were removed, because I don't know how to put code in spoilers, but imagine they were there)

 object`Main`:
     @main
     def`main`=
         val`a`=34`toChar`
         val`b`=43`toChar`
         val`c`=46`toChar`

0123456789([aE

My previous challenge was cracked (embarassingly within less than a day) using indexed-retrieval of the searched-for characters from within larger expressions/strings.

This challenge is intended to make that approach more difficult.

Solution

Giuseppe's crack was different in several places, so here's the solution that I had in mind when I posed the challenge:

    # make some numbers:
    zero=T-T
    two=T+T
    three=T+T+T
    one=three-two
    four=T+T+T+T
    five=T+T+T+T+T
    six=T+T+T+T+T+T
    seven=T+T+T+T+T+T+T
    eight=T+T+T+T+T+T+T+T
    nine=T+T+T+T+T+T+T+T+T
    ten=nine+one

    # zero to nine is the first series of digits in the output string:
    zerotonine=zero:nine

    # 40, 69 and 91 are the ASCII values of ([ and E
    forty=ten+ten+ten+ten
    sixtynine=forty+ten+ten+ten-one
    ninetyone=forty+forty+ten+one

    # now we need to get some of the 'forbidden' functions
    # first we use 'tolower' to get the (lowercase) function names of 'apropos',
    # 'tail' and 'cat' (so we avoid the the lower-case letter 'a')
    ~=tolower
    b=~'APROPOS'
    A=~'A'
    t=~'TAIL'
    c=~'CAT'

    # Now we can use 'get()' to get the functions from the names
    ?=get
    ~=?b          # apropos()
    i=~'intToUtf'   # look-up the full-length 'intToUtf8' function name
    !=?i          # intToUtf8()

    # Now we've got 'intToUtf8()' we can create the forbidden characters
    p=!forty;b=!ninetyone;e=!sixtynine

    # We want to paste them all together with no separator.  Since we can't easily give
    # multiple arguments to a function (because we're always replacing binary operators),
    # we need to construct 'paste0'.  This is the second function looked-up using
    # 'PAST' (without the final E), so we use 'tail()' to get it.
    -=?t
    pp=~'PAST'
    ppp=pp-one
    +=?ppp

# Finally, we build our string using our new 'paste0' function, and use 'cat()' # to output it: string=zero+one+two+three+four+five+six+seven+eight+nine+p+b+A+e ~=?c ~string

 "#'+\-/0123456789:<>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\^`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz|~

Note: there is a leading space on this line. This leaves you with:

!$%&()*,.;=?@[]_{}

So much for trying to get a low score, there's too many ways to do it!

My approach

First, it's necessary to break out of the while(<STDIN>) loop using }{. My aim wasn't to stop printing, but to make generating the string difficult. Without access to any letters immediately, it's tricky, but using the trick Gilles used $_=*_ you get main::_ which provides a and : (stored in $;) which we'll need later. Accessing these is also tricky as you can't index into strings directly like you can in some languages, but we still have ? which (up until v5.22.0) works similarly to /.../ allowing us to repeatedly match a section, store in $_ (via $_=$&) and match again. a&_ yields A and using that in a range with _ (or aa/AA) produces the list of uppercase and lowercase chars needed (stored in @@ and @!), accessing the indices is a little tricky without numbers, but these can be easily generated using list lengths to generate 0-9 and then concatenation to build larger numbers, although having enough short variables to store data in is an annoying problem to have. To generate the string I used a program to build the numbers I wanted, but it would be a lot shorter using ranges and I pass the codepoints into pack (by calling CORE::pack, via &{'CORE::pack'})using C77 as the definition which stores the desired string in $_ which is implicitly printed.

Take 2, after @DomHastings and @Gilles'SO-stopbeingevil' found unintended weaknesses in the original. I've fortified this version by adding p and ` to the list of forbidden characters. As before, my code outputs to STDOUT with no trailing newline and works for Ruby 1.8.7 onwards.

My code outputs to STDOUT with no leading whitespace and a trailing newline.


My solution

@Gilles'SO-stopbeingevil' used exactly the same approach in the crack, with minor differences in implementation:

 character(bit_size(i)) :: fmt, out
 izero = floor(epsilon(r))  ! len_trim(achar(bit_size(i))) also works
 ione = ceiling(epsilon(r)) ! len(achar(bit_size(i))) also works
 itwo = ibset(izero,ione)
 ithree = ibset(ione,ione)
 ifour = ibset(izero,itwo)
 ifive = ibset(ifour,izero)
 isix = ibset(ifour,ione)
 iseven = ibset(isix,izero)
 ieight = ibset(izero,ithree)
 inine = ibset(ieight,izero)
 iten = ibset(ieight,ione)
 ieleven = ibset(iten,izero)
 itwelve = ibset(ieight,itwo)
 ithirteen = ibset(itwelve,izero)
 ifourteen = ibset(itwelve,ione)
 ififteen = ibset(ifourteen,izero)
 isixteen = ibset(izero,ifour)

Shakespeare Programming Language, score: 4, cracked by Dingus

mMbB

You cannot use the sum of or the difference between, so constructing integers is tricky.


Dingus' crack is very similar to what I had in mind. The solution relies on the product, square, square root and factorial operators (which are not well known, since they are not or barely mentioned in the official documentation), and on the fact that SPL only uses integers, so that e.g. 5 can be represented as \$\sqrt{32}\$ (the square root of a cunning cute peaceful trustworthy healthy squirrel).

You use the ++ prefix to increment to 18, square it 4 times, and then conver to octal.

Python 3, Score: 86 Cracked by Wheat Wizard


!"#$%&'*+-/37:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\^`kmpqvwxyz{|}~

Self-verifying (will not print a character in the source), new-line is part of the output set. Apologies for the squares, not sure if the codes are valid or got replaced when pasting the output into my answer. Not done with any unicode tricks.

I could probably reduce my score, but choose to keep it simple instead.

Original code:

__builtins__.__dict__[str().join([chr(111),chr(112),chr(101),chr(110)])](1,chr(119)).__getattribute__(str().join([chr(119),chr(114),chr(105),chr(116),chr(101)]))(str().join([b for b in [chr(u) for u in range(9,128)] if b not in __builtins__.__dict__[str().join([chr(111),chr(112),chr(101),chr(110)])](__file__,chr(114)).read()]))

I think it reads itself for each iteration of the list comprehension. Had to change my editor settings to prevent it from automatically adding a newline at the end of the file.

That is, you must construct a deterministic and halting Lost program with no redirection whatsoever, or pushing to the scope.

Try it online!

I banned ( as an afterthought to see if I could push robbers into using the same arithmetic spam to clear the stack, but ? works too.

Python 3, Score:106, safe.

and again...

This is the output of my program (displayed here as the repr() of the bytes in python):

b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%&*+-/0123456789<>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^`fghijkqrsuvwxz{|}~'

So these are the characters available to crack it:

'(),.:;=_abcdelmnopty

I'm not using any unicode tricks, I think it would be trivial to make this program dump more characters to defend against those cracks.

Of course this is similar to my other answers, strings are encoded basically the same way but I applied some better python tricks to get them printed.

Hopefully I've dodged obvious cracks... only one way to find out!


Looks like it's safe, and I'm not going to go for a better score. Here's my solution:

Python 3.8 (pre-release), 24234 bytes

This works by hijacking a lambda's __code__ to get it's type, which is code, and creating a new code object with it. This new code object is written over the lambda's original code object and then the lambda is called. The arguments to code() define a lambda that just prints a fixed string. All of the arguments are encoded by calls to len() on tuples of empty tuples to get integers which are either used directly or enclosed in another tuple that is passed into bytes() (for whatever reason I used type(b''), but I really didn't save any characters with that) and then when a string is required I called .decode on that. The script that generates the answer outputs compiled code from it's own lambda b, so it's probably best to run the generator script on the same version of python you'll be running the result on.

Maybe this could be done with fewer characters, I didn't explore every choice available with this strategy.

As a side note, this experience has lead me to believe that python is actually a great system for hiding code.

The second approach. Also no newlines. Also be a little bit golfier please.

Intended approach (I think)

It's 2022 and I've completely forgotten what I was thinking of two years ago, I only found this post through BoC2021 which mentioned this BoC2020 battle. I had to re-read the ><> specs, go through my eight answers, speculate what I was thinking about, and finally cracking it myself.

In a some-what anti-climatic twist, round seven allowed the usage of a constant again -lyxal

Two ways. -me

The first is lyxal's seventh crack. But why did I suddenly allow 0?

...

Because 00g!
