Pushbullet API: Pushing stuff with Python

Hey, it has been a long time since I posted some stuff. So, here I'm with a simple but useful stuff for you guys out there. If you're wondering what Pushbullet is, well, here's what it is

"Pushbullet bridges the gap between your phone, tablet, and computer, enabling them to work better together. From seeing your phone's notifications on your computer, to easily transferring links, files, and more between devices, Pushbullet saves you time by making what used to be difficult or impossible, easy." - Pushbullet.com

You should definitely give it a try.

Now that we know how awesome it is, let's create a simple script to retrieve user/device info and push a link to all devices using the Pushbullet API. All you need is the access token of your account registered with the Pushbullet server. Go to your Account Settings to get it.

PushbulletAPI_Devices.py

__author__ = 'codingthevoid'

import json
import urllib2

# Access Token
pbActionToken = ''

# Target URL to get all devices
targetUrl = 'https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/devices'

# Setup required HTTP request headers
headers = { 'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + pbActionToken }

# Create a HTTP request object
reqObj = urllib2.Request(targetUrl, None, headers)

# Open the target URL and get the response.
response = urllib2.urlopen(reqObj)

# Decode the JSON response and print it
print(json.loads(response.read()))

... and here's how to push a link to all the devices connected to your account

PushbulletAPI_PushLink.py

__author__ = 'codingthevoid'

import json
import urllib2

# Access Token
pbActionToken = ''

# Target URL to push stuff to all devices
targetUrl = 'https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes'

# Setup required HTTP request headers
headers = { 'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + pbActionToken }

# Pushing a link with title "My URL title!", message "Some message", and the url "http://codingthevoid.blogspot.in/"
values = { 'type' : 'link', 'title' : 'My URL title!', 'body' : 'Some message', 'url' : 'http://codingthevoid.blogspot.in/' }

# JSON encode the request body.
jsonEncodedValues = json.dumps(values)

# Create a HTTP POST request object
reqObj = urllib2.Request(targetUrl, jsonEncodedValues, headers)

# Open the target URL and get the response.
response = urllib2.urlopen(reqObj)

# Decode the JSON response and print it
print(json.loads(response.read()))

Just replace your access token with "<access_token>" and you're good to go. Feel free to extend this and implement other features the Pushbullet API has to offer you. Don't forget to share. Enjoy!

Dynamic Win32 API Call + Anti User-mode hooking [C#]

When I was working with various user-mode hooking techniques, I developed this very simple way to bypass any trivial user-mode hooks applied to Win32 APIs.

Key features:

• 32-bit and 64-bit support.
• Bypasses trivial user-mode hooks at runtime (IAT,  Hotpatching, etc.)
• Dynamically calls Win32 API by loading the library or module (if not already loaded) and getting the target function address at runtime.

To-do list / What doesn't work at the moment since I'm so lazy to implement it:

• No support for Nt/Zw version APIs i.e. system calls. Don't use this to call them - unless you want your application to crash.
• No support for functions not implementing the standard function prologue. (GetCurrentProcess, GetCurrentProcessId, etc.)

Here's the source code of the native DLL: Anti.cpp

Here's a simple wrapper class for using the DLL: DynamicApi.cs

Here's how you'd use it: SampleUsage.cs

Alright so, that's it for now. If you've any questions or suggestions, just leave them below in the comments section. Have fun! ;)
